Hi there,
I thought about getting some kind of portable AndroidTV solution for my wife and me, when we are traveling in our vacations or one of us is traveling for business reasons.
At home, we mostly use Netflix as our streaming provider, and also we use Kodi at home to play our local files.
I thought about just buying a Xiaomi Mi 4K stick. But I am not sure if it is able to connect/insert a SD card/micro SD card/USB stick for watching those things. Therefore, I want to ask you guys what is the best device for my situation:
Must haves:
- Netflix
- Play files from storage device
- Either YouTube or Smarttube
Nice to have:
- Using Kodi
- Interface without ads
- Easy to sideload apps
- Some mild retro gaming emulation (max PS1/SNES/GBA)
Other things to keep into account:
- The budget I had in mind was about 45 to 60€ since this seems to be te price range of Amazon Fire Stick or Xiaomi Mi 4K stick. But If there is something for maybe 70 or 80€ that is much better, I would be willing to spend this too.
- Since this will be a device for traveling, being portable is a plus. Additionally something that can be powered from any generic USB to Power cable and not something that maybe even needs some big voltage converter
I don't mind sideloading, rooting, using custom firmware or anything else. I also have no problem with using some else instead of AndroidTV
What device would you recommend?
On the cheap side you could try to go for the "mecool km2", Aliexpress has a lot of disccounts right now.
