The remote itself seems to be quite responsive it's using Bluetooth so you don't have to be pointing directly at the box. You can have a distance of up to 10 meters or 33 feet so as long as you are within a room or two you can be pointing anywhere and it will so be responsive. We have over here some channels including Netflix which is built-in by default, you can also launch that using just a Netflix key on the remote and also HBO, Starz, ESPN, YouTube, CBS, Vudu and more that you can add over. We also have some audio services like spotify and we can also customize channels to add even more content as separate rows. The remote is not backlit so, it a little bit harder to see it in the dark.

Interface The interface here is very clean oversized keys for changing the volume and skipping or scrubbing browser here. Interface looks like to Chrome directly just like with YouTube browsing is swift and responsive. You can open multiple tabs with out browser slowing down.

Final verdict This is the best budget Android TV box 2019 as it supports 4k HDR content. There is integrated Google support so we have Google assistant search key built right on and you can launch a Netflix really quickly. Performance is really snappy and fast despite the fact that the hardware hasn't seen much of an upgrade but if all you are doing is streaming you will be very satisfied.
