Really nice compact and smooth running Android box, I got this for the TV in my daughters room, it’s a very nice older 32” LCD Samsung but is not a smart TV and rather than getting rid of a perfectly good TV just to upgrade to a newer smart TV we decided to add on an Android box giving it all the features of a smart TV and so much more without the constraints of only being able to install a limited and selected amount of applications.
We wanted something with the latest operating system, WiFi, the ability to take a micro SD card and USB stick, be compact but also look nice, we wanted a box that would be able to have anything available installed to it so quickly ruled out boxes with only 1GB of ram and 8GB of rom as there are now programs they won’t run and 1GB of memory is not enough for the latest Android operating system. We decided this one looked ideal and purchased it.
It arrived in a nice flip top branded box opening up to the main Android box with the power lead, HDMI cable, remote control and manual being in a section under the box, the manual runs you through the setup of the box and is very clear and easy to follow, once I had set it up and switched it on it runs through an on screen setup allowing you to connect the WiFi and either login with your Google account to use the play store or create one if not, all very easy to follow and once finished you are all set to go.
The menu is very clean and easy to navigate and you have the ability to pin any applications you add or use a lot to the main front page, I know a lot of people just get Android boxes to run Kodi but they really are missing out if this is all they use them for and I have now installed the BBC iplayer app, ITV Hub, channel 5 (My5), channel 4 (All4) and the YouTube application which all work very well for watching videos, catch up and live TV.
My daughter has added a few games and connected a wireless keyboard we had so can surf the net, most of the applications and many of the games from the play store are free and simple to install making the whole process very painless and you don’t need to add any payment details to use the play store, an android box is great for bringing an old TV up to date with smart TV’s and perfect for anyone who either has a poor TV signal or a room without an aerial socket.
I found the GooBang Doo android box to work flawlessly, a great speed and smooth operating menu system, it looks nice with the clock in the front and the remote control is not cluttered with pointless buttons no one ever uses and has a simple layout with all the buttons you need. I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing the unboxing, going through the setup, navigating through the menu, starting a few apps and installing the ITV Hub from the play store to show how easy it is.
What I liked
*************
- Nice compact powerful android box
- It looks nice and has a clock display on the front a very nice touch
- 2GB of ram and 16GB of rom meaning it won’t have any issues playing any application available
- Comes with the most up to date android operating system
- The menu is easy to navigate and does not have a mass of applications you may not want or never use preinstalled
- Very easy to set up with a good setup walkthrough when you first switch it on
- Comes with a micro SD card slot, two USB slots and a network connection should you wish to hard wire rather than use the wireless
What I Didn’t Like
********************
- I haven’t found anything to add here but if I do have any issues I will return and add them
Summary
**********
Overall this is a cracking little android box, it’s small but also powerful enough to run anything available, has the latest operating system and the menu is nice, clean and very fast with everything working flawlessly. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
