Keep in mind, some devices simply don't need a page of specific information, but are still excellent devices. *


icon Amazon Fire TV
Amazon Fire TV (first and second-generations) is a series of Android-based (Fire OS) set-top-box that contains a powerful ARM processor (that can even handle some of the more heavy Kodi skins). First released in 2014, Amazon's Fire TV series stands above some of the other Android-based offerings due to Amazon's strong product support and because it contains more 10-foot user interface versions of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and other video service clients, which generally makes it a good pairing with Kodi.
icon Nvidia Shield
NVIDIA SHIELD TV (originally known as SHIELD Console) is an Android-based set-top box and game console that contains a very powerful ARM processor, (that is able to handle the most heavy of Kodi skins and more). It is one of the first Android based devices featuring high-end media playback capabilities such as of and support high-definition audio at up to 192 kHz, 23.976 Hz support with automatic refresh rate switching, 10-bit HEVC (H.265), and VP9 video codecs, and 4K UltraHD (2160p) resolution with HDR via HDMI 2.0b output support for Kodi.
icon Xiaomi Mi Box

This is an affordable 4K UltraHD (2160p) resolution capable Android TV box based on Amlogic S905X SoC that as of yet, as an Android TV box, Xiaomi have given the impression that the firmware for these two boxes will be better maintained and supported in the long-run than most other Android TV boxes out there.
