NOTICE:
This is an unofficial list of Android devices that are and aren't working with the current development builds of XBMC. The final stable release of XBMC for Android might have different compatibility, so do not use this list as a guide for buying Android hardware.

Basic requirements

It is highly recommended for users to not make any hardware purchases in anticipation of running Kodi on Android without first researching the device you want to buy. Before you do buy, make sure multiple people have verified that it works! If in doubt, do not buy any hardware!
  • Kodi v17 and later requires Android 5.0 or higher.
  • x86 (Intel) or a NEON-compatible ARM-processor, (for example: Nvidia Tegra 3 and newer are fully supported by Kodi, while Tegra 2 and older are not).
  • The main aim for the Android port of Kodi is to foremost target media-players/set-top-boxes/sticks that connect to a large screen television and uses a standard remote control as its main interface device, (that is the same market as for HTPC).
  • If your device is listed as not working try a non-neon (Tegra 2) unofficial build. These are not supported by Team XBMC:
  • If you are willing to be a tester and give feedback on a prerelease build which includes hardware decoding, visit this forum thread:

Working

THIS PAGE IS OUTDATED:

This list is probably not that accurate since there's been a lot of recent developments with hardware video decoding

Set top boxes / sticks

Brand(s) Model(s)/Name(s) Chipset Hardware decoder (720/1080) Software playback Notes
SD 720 1080
Various Various Allwinner A10 No Yes No No Will choke even on some SD videos with software decoding. Generally seen as "avoid" due to development complications with Allwinner.
Pivos XIOS DS AMLogic Yes Yes ? ? Official development target for XBMC for Android
G-box various AMLogic Yes Yes ? ? It will playback video that is 1080, but seems to be having issues outputting a 1080 signal. [1]
Geniatech ATV1200 AMLogic Yes Yes ? ? It will playback video that is 1080, but seems to be having issues outputting a 1080 signal. [2]
Hardkernel ODROID: U, U2, X, X2 Exynos4412 No Yes Yes Yes (see note) Some early work on hardware decoding is being attempted, but even without, it can software decode 1080 on U2 and X2 if overclocked with heatsink. Not sure about U and X. This is a VERY powerful ARM device.
