@@MrBertWayne ehh... cant say my 4k maxes are kicking my Onn 4k boxes @$$. 1 i definitely have more freedom with Onn. i have more stutter movement on the FS vs Onn. i use the same cleaning tools on both to keep it fair. the more storage definitely helps with being able to add more apps without having to setup a bunch of extra cables and adaptors. its not a world beater but overall i am happier with this setup in comparison. i have 3 Onn 4k pro boxes and 1 Onn 4k box. all my FSs are now used for travel.
Amazon must've seen all the people leaving to different products and immediately announced that they are keeping side loading and adding new better features lol
MelVin , my brO , 😁 Thank U 4 the Review .. Ive been using the Onn 4K for a few months now , I Like it , Got like 20 3rd Party apps installed ( No Problem at All ) and I still have 5G of Storage left .. All the apps work Good like on the 4K Fire stick except for Y_Tube . I Like the Stop , 4-ward and Reverse buttons on the F/stick remote , Onn remote doesnt have that capability . So $ 50 vs's 19 $ to get More Storage , Remote Finder and a Few other features ,, IS Well Worth IT !!! I did like Troy Points video how to get it to the Set-up Menu's to Change Alot of features , like Scale size , Speed etc .. I also like that the Onn box will Power OFF in 15 minutes with No activity , adjustable in Settings .. Great VideO cool .. Ty 🤘
Hello! Wondering if you were able to successfully install TVTap or TV Mob? Have tried to get these to install from multiple sources. They work fine on phone and multiple tablets but either crash or give me "authentication failed" message.
Very nice video, thank you. I had my onn. bought for me by my relatives in the US and will receive it in the next couple of days, maybe tomorrow (in Albania), and I'll see.
I got mine the other day, fast and smooth on all the apps like K21 and Tivimate, im using it for the guest room (having Shields as my mains) but this would be great for a main device for anyone! Great review as usual MMM!!
Great video. On the techy side a bit, which I actually like. It gets into things that most other video don’t. I noticed that when you asked the Google Assistant if it’s going to rain it said “No rain forecasted for Apopka. I live in Davenport which isn’t that far away. Pretty cool. Keep up the great work, man.
Anybody having trouble with soundbar pairing? Mine pairs ok but it doesn't power off with the tv when I hit the power button on the remote. I have to manually turn it off. Volume controls work fine. BTW - great video I saved it for future reference.
Great video that benchmark told me that we should wait and see what google is going to bring to the table. This device is more of a plus then a pro device after see this video thnaks this helped me out a lot
The Operating System alone makes it better than any amazon device. Comes with only a 10/100 LAN port BUT can purchase an external 3.0 USB dongle 10/100/1000 to make it 1GB
I have a Fire Cube and I have never come close to running out of storage. I have been using it for at least 3 years and have never had a storage problem.
@@lamb88ertSame rules apply to the 3rd gen fire cube's similar Ethernet port. I got a 3.0 USB Gigabit Ethernet hub hooked up to it and I'm getting increased speeds as well.
great review! having had quality issues with the previous Onn streaming box, I'll look forward to your follow up review after you've used it for a while. and thanks for the info on the wireless mouse/keyboard combos....
The only issue I've personally seen for far is when I say hey Google while watching RUclips it gives me the answer but it doesn't let the video resume automatically after Google gives you the answer. You actually have to hit the back button or something. Very strange why it doesn't just resume after Google is done answering anything.
100mbps ethernet port? didn't the firetv also have that. i guess you could get better speeds over wifi or use a usb3 ethernet adapter, but i wish they wouldn't cheap out on a "pro" device for those of us that want to keep it plugged in
Companies are clinging to obsolete port standards such as 10/100 Fast Ethernet and USB 2.0. Those two standards should have been phased out years ago. No excuse for these types of devices to not have at the bare minimum USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet ports. At least this box has a USB 3 0 port.
The coaxial power connector is the dumbest thing you can put on a modern device and a total deal breaker for me. There is no reason that device cant be powered using standard USB-C
@@sc5015 I've been an electronics/gadgets, PC building and technology nerd at least 31 years (built my first PC at 16 and I've never heard it referred as that. So I guess you learn something new even when you're old! I bet it's referred to that because it's something from the "electronic technician" industry. Never been in the actual industry as repair tech or anything.... 🤪🤪
But yes barrel jack/coaxial power ports are ridiculous in this day. I especially find it ridiculous they're on the Google Nest Hub Max displays, like come on even the Nest mini speakers have micro USB on some of them before they switched to the BJ
Not bad for $50 and I could maybe recommend this to some people, especially as an entry-streaming device, and to those that aren’t opposed to the Google TV part. It would take a lot to pry me from my AppleTVs for my home, but this is a great option for those extra/guest/garage/etc TVs or those looking for budget devices. I don’t personally use many Google or Amazon products/services due to the data privacy implications-it’s simply a personal decision. I do really like the _physical_ mic switch though and wish more products implemented them.
When I try to connect via Ethernet using the USB mine won’t connect. Is there something I need to do to fix that? When I plug the Ethernet wire directly into the Ethernet hole it works, but at that slower 10/100. What am I doing wrong? Update: after being plugged in for a few minutes it connected. Doesn’t make sense why it took so long but it worked,….but slow. 125.79 download and upload was 114.61. Wi-Fi is much much quicker on this Pro Device.
Yes, it's so difficult to replace a couple of dirt cheap AAA batteries once a year. I'd much rather have to constantly plug-in my remote to charge it and then when the non-replaceable battery dies, I can just throw the entire remote away and spend $50 on another one. If replacements are still even available.
@@nodak81 constantly plug in remote ? LOL,charge once it and lasts for months. U need to use a chargeable remote or mouse once!! keeping a bunch of aaa cells in stock is definitely a pain with the number of gadgets and remotes these days.
Love this product and you did a great review good job and thank you. Blows my mind it doesn't have a 10/100 / 1000 ethernet port. The one and only thing I can find that sucks about it.
@@philiprobar you missed my point, re-read my comment. How could it have 20 year old technology of a 10/100 ethernet port and not a 1/100/1000 which has been standard for 10 plus years.
For once Walmart has a decent product that I'm actually interested in. But what I like the most about this product is to find your remote that is a very very handy feature in kudos to the engineers of Walmart.
Walmart is basically trying to sell off the old devices first. I was told and refused to be sold a new 2024 Onn player because they said the are trying to sell off the old devices before selling the new ones. They told me they had them in the back but would not sell me one. That kind of crap is that??
I bought one of these Onn 4K Pro the other day. I heard that some of them came with a backlit remote control. But mine came with a regular black and white remote control. No big deal for me but it would have been nice to get a backlit one.😊
Troypoint mentioned that some do. I wonder why would they even release any at all. I think most people would prefer one with a backlight. I guess they didn't feel pressured, because of the low price.
@@Triple_M It seems like you reviewed it already..4yrs ago!😅..but you called by a different name. It doesn't have *iClever mini Portable...* in the title.
READ THIS BEFORE BUYING / AS OF RELEASE DATE!!!!!! 1. DTS HDMA 7.1 Atmos NOT supported! 2. Dolby True HD NOT supported! 3. Only 100mps Ethernt Port. 4. Build in speaker DOESN'T support music playback, turns on tv to use it's speaker. 5. Backlit remote is not guaranteed, included with some units & not with others.
Great stuff, Melvin. Very detailed and exhaustive presentation. It would be a good idea to share your recording hardware, if you wish. I am one of the guys who is curious. The fact that extra usb drive can increase the storage to install apps is a great feature. I have Tivo and is restricted by space. So i will be interested in this device. Also how did you record the TV screen?
I have both, firetv 4g and onn 4g, they both work well with obvious differences but similar in quality. If you’re used to firetv, the difference is negligible in comparison. The difference is Amazon and Google play and setup is just a little different between the two.
The difference between this device and the regular onn cast is that the remote control is white and this is black, but pretty much the same, aside from the star button. The device itself is quite different.
Hey Triple M, just setup my Onn yesterday, installed KODI 21 and I was trying to get to a zip file on connected USB drive. For some reason. KODI didn't show any zip files(repositories) on USA, just directories. I used to be able to do it all the time on my NVidia. Do I have to do something in order to be able to get to a zip file on USA? Great videos, BTW
Just bought this to replace my Firestick that keeps running out of storage and I only have one app that I use (IPTV). The only way I can fix the Firestick is by taking it back to brand new by resetting it and then after a few months it does the same damn thing. F anyone’s wondering yes,….I can clear the cache on everything and still runs out over time. Hopefully this Onn Pro does better!
Sadly it's not a "fire stick killer" while the onn box itself is extremely smooth, browsing and playing content and all. It fails to play 4k Remux files which is pretty disappointing, it makes no sense tho because the device feels much snappier than the stick.
Not a fan of the form factor…too big compared to the firestick. Don’t like the wall wart, compared to the firestick’s use of usb power. No optical audio out. And a 10/100 ethernet port? Really? Why no gigabit port? Will not be replacing my firestick unless my sideloaded apps stop working or disappear. And at that point, I may go back to taking my nvidia shield on the road vs spending money on one of these.
@@philiprobar I have 5 other people in my house, all using multiple devices at the same time. In a hotel it’s not an issue, but at home it could be. Regardless, gigabit is becoming the standard, no reason not to include it, really.
I'm a new subscriber who enjoyed this review. I have the 1st Google Onn and was about to replace it with a Fire Stick 4K Max, because there are some things I don't like about it; like disabling my Flix Vision or not able to install other 3rd Party Apps, but it looks like they're more open to allowing this. I like quite a few new features that you displayed; so, I think I'll try the Pro. Thanks for sharing this info.
@@Triple_MI really like this one. It addressed the issues I had, like the storage space. Now I have no problem installing 3rd Party Apps and them not being disabled later. I still made the adjustment in security that Troypoint suggested. I have more than enough to watch between Google, Kodi and 3rd Party Apps-with 19 GB remaining. I also like how quick and smooth it moves through apps and functions. The wired connection has removed the buffering in Kodi Live. Troypoint said you only need a 25 download speed to run the Fire Stick; so, I guess the Ethernet connecting at a 100 speed is taking care of the buffering in Kodi. Although, I did have to go back and forth with connecting and disconnecting wired and wireless and connecting and disconnecting my VPN. I finally got it to work with good results being Ethernet connected with VPN. Enjoying the other added features too. Thanks again for your review, it stopped me from switching back to Fire Stick before trying this new version of Onn.
I actually sell Android TV Boxes that are well Spec'd and IPTV. Been doing so 10 years. I have actually been offering my Customers the ONN box as an affordable alternative. This Box actually uses the Android TV OS as opposed to stock A droid. And of course Google Certified.
Hi. Remember me? Talked to you last week. I bought the small one. I'm going to get the bigger one next so, I got 3 firestick's and going for 2 onn's now. Alexa got a little bad didn't she. I drove throw there 6 days a week. I probably know you or you might know me. Have a good day. I'm on my way to Walmart.
This looks pretty good and is at a great price. I wish Amazon would let us know if they would put Vega on existing Firesticks already. I'm tempted to buy this considering they keep getting rid of my launchers.
Livestreaming TV from the internet gives you a much better TV experience on the couch at meal and chill time but I see what's going on here, companies are trying to out do each other and eventually internet prices will skyrocket because we all have other devices that need the internet to function.
I have the Nvidia shield pro .. 3gb with 16gb storage but can expand. .. it's still my favorite device and One thing I love is the AI chip which upscales HD to UHD . Even though this one has 32gb storage. If you installed enough apps to fill that storage the ram is still only 3gb and can only handle a limited number of apps
@@Triple_M that's what we want bro a company that pushes out updates for there devices unlike the shield that instead of pushing an upgrade just put out that stupid cube 🤷🏿♂️ with no advertising are rollout
🎉 Question 🎊 Will An OTA Dongle Work On This Device To Get OTA Channels and Hopefully Integrate Into Channel Guide and Picture In Picture Features ??? Thanks For The Awesome Reviews..
Hi, does this streaming box get really hot like the streaming sticks do? If so can you turn it off at night? I used to have a Roku streaming Stick and it would get really hot to the touch so I would unplug it when not in use because it concerned me. Also thanks for the video I'm trying to decide whether to buy one of these or not. I just found out on another video that this pro version runs cool!😊
What internet speed do you pay for? I am wondering if it is possible to get 800 plus Mbps using a usb to gigabit Ethernet adapter. 16 Gb storage, gigabit Ethernet and a USB 3.0 port would make much more sense than the combination on this device.
I got 2 of the last Onn 4k boxes because they were only $20. This is hardly any better than those, but I don't use them for TV. I use them for home assistant hubs because they are ultra low power and you can root them pretty easily... if your willing to crack them open that is. Cheaper and better than a raspberry pi. I still think the Old Onn 4k is better value for the money.
Can it be used offline after the initial setup if you're playing videos from the USB port? Basically, could you take it to a hotel and use it as a media player without connecting it to wifi?
The ONN devices prior to this model have a big problem... it is their remote control that continually loses the link, it is deconfigured with the device and you have to configure it frequently, which happens to people who don't know about technology, it's already a big problem.
Good video. I noticed you did not make mention of the Blue button I’ve seen in other online videos of the remote, as well as no mention of the remote being backlit, which I thought this one is.
@@Triple_M It’s a big blue button that says “Free App” on the button. Middle of remote, can’t miss it. Yours obviously doesn’t have it. I’m surprised you haven’t seen it anywhere yet.
Mine came with the backlit remote and the big blue button. Some people get that remote and some get the one shown in this video. Seems pretty random. I noted the UPC code on the outside of my packaging is exactly the same as the one shown in this video, so you apparently can't tell without opening up the box.
Troypoint mentioned some don't have the backlight too. I'm surprised they released any at all, knowing most people would prefer the backlight. I guess they felt no pressure, because of the low price.
compare the video quality of the Onn Pro vs previous boxes or other devices to see the difference. The On pro shows slightly darker.. peoples skin tones are darker in video quality. My Verizon Android TV box shows more vivid (Brighter). I was going to buy two ONN pro boxes but i will hold off on that.
Ugh, why do they keep putting those annoying streaming service buttons on these remotes? There are about 3 dozen different services now, and most people are going to only have 1 or 2 of these, which are completely unnecessary anyway since it takes literally 3 seconds to push a home button and click on a thumbnail to open an app.
I just got a small question. I guess I’m a little slow when it comes to certain things like this. It looks like it would be great. I would love to have one, but you still have to keep your Internet on or can you do without your Internet or Wi-Fi with this.
Is this faster than the $20 Onn box? I have one of those and it’s very laggy for me when navigating the screens and opening/closing apps. I’m overall disappointed it, but I guess I can’t complain for $20.
Sounds like an animation issue. Reduce it to .5 or turn it off all together. Might want to use a custom launcher as well. That being said and to answer your question it is definitely faster. Better CPU, More ram (always improves performance) and more storage (also helps).
Please put a warning way ahead of time on any products you are reviewing where you say the trigger word to activate your and potentially anyone else's personal assistant.
So I have all the othered on the benchmark and then some. But with the talk of Amazon stopping the side loading on the firedevices I might give it a go just for tv apps.

What they should have done is not put a speaker, but rather give higher quality chipset and gig ethernet port.
It is a higher quality chipset, it's A55 instead of A35 like the other two, also 3GB RAM vs 2 and 1.5GB on the others.
@jamesdavies686 I didn't mean a slight upgrade.
A gig port is useless for streaming which is the primary purpose of the device.
@nicholasespinoza9610 meanwhile it is still preferred.

Great stuff, Melvin. Very detailed and exhaustive presentation. It would be a good idea to share your recording hardware, if you wish. I am one of the guys who is curious.
The fact that extra usb drive can increase the storage to install apps is a great feature. I have Tivo and is restricted by space. So i will be interested in this device.
Also how did you record the TV screen?
I have both, firetv 4g and onn 4g, they both work well with obvious differences but similar in quality. If you’re used to firetv, the difference is negligible in comparison. The difference is Amazon and Google play and setup is just a little different between the two.
Thanks for the unboxing can I watch all the Late night shows or do I need a separate antenna. Thanks.
Does it have a regular internet browser?? My amazon fire sticks do but i got a Roku stick and it does not.
The difference between this device and the regular onn cast is that the remote control is white and this is black, but pretty much the same, aside from the star button. The device itself is quite different.
Hey Triple M, just setup my Onn yesterday, installed KODI 21 and I was trying to get to a zip file on connected USB drive. For some reason. KODI didn't show any zip files(repositories) on USA, just directories. I used to be able to do it all the time on my NVidia. Do I have to do something in order to be able to get to a zip file on USA? Great videos, BTW
Definitely liking the specs except the 10/100 ethernet port. If it was 1000 mbps it would be next to the nvidia shield
But the shield is four times the price
@@Triple_M thats true. I might just get two of them as a back to my shields
Have you ever exceeded 100mbps streaming video?
~25 Mb is all that is needed for streaming 4K video.
Good video full of useful stuff, didn’t know about AIDA & I’m a straight up 🤓 thanks!
Just bought this to replace my Firestick that keeps running out of storage and I only have one app that I use (IPTV). The only way I can fix the Firestick is by taking it back to brand new by resetting it and then after a few months it does the same damn thing. F anyone’s wondering yes,….I can clear the cache on everything and still runs out over time.
Hopefully this Onn Pro does better!
Does this upgrade lower grade source material, making the picture better?
Yes it does normal upscaling. Nothing like the AI upscaling that Nvidia does though
I just don't get it! They make what appears to be a slam dunk product and then put a 💩 processor in it from 2017 WHYY
I was planning to buy G Chromecast 4k tv, but now, I am looking for an alternative. :) guess the G is a bit out of date. Glade to know.
Sadly it's not a "fire stick killer" while the onn box itself is extremely smooth, browsing and playing content and all. It fails to play 4k Remux files which is pretty disappointing, it makes no sense tho because the device feels much snappier than the stick.
The "find my remote" feature is a game changer.
Not a fan of the form factor…too big compared to the firestick. Don’t like the wall wart, compared to the firestick’s use of usb power. No optical audio out. And a 10/100 ethernet port? Really? Why no gigabit port? Will not be replacing my firestick unless my sideloaded apps stop working or disappear. And at that point, I may go back to taking my nvidia shield on the road vs spending money on one of these.
~25 Mb is all that is needed for streaming 4K video.
@@philiprobar I have 5 other people in my house, all using multiple devices at the same time. In a hotel it’s not an issue, but at home it could be. Regardless, gigabit is becoming the standard, no reason not to include it, really.
I'm a new subscriber who enjoyed this review. I have the 1st Google Onn and was about to replace it with a Fire Stick 4K Max, because there are some things I don't like about it; like disabling my Flix Vision or not able to install other 3rd Party Apps, but it looks like they're more open to allowing this. I like quite a few new features that you displayed; so, I think I'll try the Pro. Thanks for sharing this info.
Let me know how you like it.
@@Triple_MI really like this one. It addressed the issues I had, like the storage space. Now I have no problem installing 3rd Party Apps and them not being disabled later. I still made the adjustment in security that Troypoint suggested. I have more than enough to watch between Google, Kodi and 3rd Party Apps-with 19 GB remaining. I also like how quick and smooth it moves through apps and functions. The wired connection has removed the buffering in Kodi Live. Troypoint said you only need a 25 download speed to run the Fire Stick; so, I guess the Ethernet connecting at a 100 speed is taking care of the buffering in Kodi. Although, I did have to go back and forth with connecting and disconnecting wired and wireless and connecting and disconnecting my VPN. I finally got it to work with good results being Ethernet connected with VPN. Enjoying the other added features too. Thanks again for your review, it stopped me from switching back to Fire Stick before trying this new version of Onn.
I actually sell Android TV Boxes that are well Spec'd and IPTV. Been doing so 10 years. I have actually been offering my Customers the ONN box as an affordable alternative. This Box actually uses the Android TV OS as opposed to stock A droid. And of course Google Certified.
It would be better if it had giga bit Ethernet.
I agree
Hi. Remember me? Talked to you last week. I bought the small one. I'm going to get the bigger one next so, I got 3 firestick's and going for 2 onn's now. Alexa got a little bad didn't she. I drove throw there 6 days a week. I probably know you or you might know me. Have a good day. I'm on my way to Walmart.
Lol, yes I remember you.... Good luck finding these 4k Pros.
I lived near you 48 years electrician for over 30 years. I'm in Nabraska now. Miss it there.
thanks for the review.
A question: does it support NTFS and/or exFAT? or jus FAT32... thanks!!!
I will check and let you know.
@@Triple_Mfollowing, please respond.
This looks pretty good and is at a great price. I wish Amazon would let us know if they would put Vega on existing Firesticks already. I'm tempted to buy this considering they keep getting rid of my launchers.
Sideload your own launcher
@@dgperforms1 I did do that. I can still use it, but it takes me to that sloppy home screen.
Whats this for ? What does it replace ??
Does this have the actual Play Store.?
Livestreaming TV from the internet gives you a much better TV experience on the couch at meal and chill time but I see what's going on here, companies are trying to out do each other and eventually internet prices will skyrocket because we all have other devices that need the internet to function.
I have the Nvidia shield pro .. 3gb with 16gb storage but can expand. .. it's still my favorite device and One thing I love is the AI chip which upscales HD to UHD .
Even though this one has 32gb storage. If you installed enough apps to fill that storage the ram is still only 3gb and can only handle a limited number of apps
why 10/100 MB ethernet port? why?
I finally broke down and brought one this morning bro hooking it up now and it's already installing system updates
Yea, they have released a couple firmware updates.
@@Triple_M that's what we want bro a company that pushes out updates for there devices unlike the shield that instead of pushing an upgrade just put out that stupid cube 🤷🏿♂️ with no advertising are rollout
@@Triple_M also I have the black remote with the live TV button I remember you did a video on that
THANK YOU - GOOD INFO!
🎉 Question 🎊
Will An OTA Dongle Work On This Device To Get OTA Channels and Hopefully Integrate Into Channel Guide and Picture In Picture Features ???
Thanks For The Awesome Reviews..
i can confirm...this thing is awesome...as powerful as n vidia shield
Hi, does this streaming box get really hot like the streaming sticks do? If so can you turn it off at night? I used to have a Roku streaming Stick and it would get really hot to the touch so I would unplug it when not in use because it concerned me. Also thanks for the video I'm trying to decide whether to buy one of these or not.
I just found out on another video that this pro version runs cool!😊
I had the original one it was great
What internet speed do you pay for? I am wondering if it is possible to get 800 plus Mbps using a usb to gigabit Ethernet adapter. 16 Gb storage, gigabit Ethernet and a USB 3.0 port would make much more sense than the combination on this device.
I got 2 of the last Onn 4k boxes because they were only $20. This is hardly any better than those, but I don't use them for TV. I use them for home assistant hubs because they are ultra low power and you can root them pretty easily... if your willing to crack them open that is. Cheaper and better than a raspberry pi.
I still think the Old Onn 4k is better value for the money.
So I can hook my 1TB hard drive up to this without formatting it, and it will play my media?
I'm having a very hard time finding this in Walmart....ugh
Can it be used offline after the initial setup if you're playing videos from the USB port? Basically, could you take it to a hotel and use it as a media player without connecting it to wifi?
Sure, as long as you have a USB Stick loaded with your content
@@dgperforms1 thank you. I got mind this week and figured it out.
Hey Triple M Real Nice Device The Best Review i seen so far on This Device Thanks - Bk 👌
I appreciate that!
Hi Thank you for video it was great I have Super Box it's still plays great thanks again
Bro good job I live your videos keep it up. Please how can I get one am living in Spain
Personally, I think even the standard models blow the firestick out of the water by merely not having Amazon's UI.
Does this support Atmos TrueHD and DTSX:MA?
The ONN devices prior to this model have a big problem... it is their remote control that continually loses the link, it is deconfigured with the device and you have to configure it frequently, which happens to people who don't know about technology, it's already a big problem.
Good review. May want to reduce the "go ahead's".
Can you hook up a external with dual partitions, like a 8tb external with 64gb partition for storage and the rest to browse media files?
That’s a good question
Only thing I wish it had was an SD card slot
Good video. I noticed you did not make mention of the Blue button I’ve seen in other online videos of the remote, as well as no mention of the remote being backlit, which I thought this one is.
Which button, the Google voice assistant button? Also, no backlight on this one.
@@Triple_M It’s a big blue button that says “Free App” on the button. Middle of remote, can’t miss it. Yours obviously doesn’t have it. I’m surprised you haven’t seen it anywhere yet.
Mine came with the backlit remote and the big blue button. Some people get that remote and some get the one shown in this video. Seems pretty random. I noted the UPC code on the outside of my packaging is exactly the same as the one shown in this video, so you apparently can't tell without opening up the box.
@@Tarkus_ That is interesting. How come ONN hasn’t put out a statement about this, shipping different remotes, seemingly at random?
Troypoint mentioned some don't have the backlight too. I'm surprised they released any at all, knowing most people would prefer the backlight. I guess they felt no pressure, because of the low price.
😮 I have the first one but this one is a MUST for me thumbs up 👍.
compare the video quality of the Onn Pro vs previous boxes or other devices to see the difference. The On pro shows slightly darker.. peoples skin tones are darker in video quality. My Verizon Android TV box shows more vivid (Brighter). I was going to buy two ONN pro boxes but i will hold off on that.
We can use downloader and put side loaded apks right?
You should def be able to side load! Not sure about downloader though
Thanks for the info👍🏽
Hi thanks for the video,,please where can I buy?
@Triple M…can you put the link on that keyboard/remote combo…you said you put it in the description but I don’t see it
Sorry, I'll add it... here it is amzn.to/3JQZocl
@@Triple_M Except that ZYF Z10 you've linked is noted as unavailable.
@@stanleygustafson Yes, they go fast. Just keep checking. If you check on google, they are also on ebay and Ali Express.
Ugh, why do they keep putting those annoying streaming service buttons on these remotes? There are about 3 dozen different services now, and most people are going to only have 1 or 2 of these, which are completely unnecessary anyway since it takes literally 3 seconds to push a home button and click on a thumbnail to open an app.
Money! Those services pay to be on the remote.
Your external USB Ethernet device you used. Which one was that? Did the USB power it up, or did you use a a charging cord like the Firestick uses.
The usb powered it up. It is the urgreen adapter. I’ll see if I can send you a link.
Can you get one to work in the UK?
Is it still hit or miss on boxed remotes? Seem they have 3. The best one is back lighted.
A better buy for certain. Ordered one last night on Walmart. Bought the G7 Max, it crashes like crazy from time to time. Crap.
Oh... the memory bump alone has me sold, even if it's just 23g. That's 18g more than I have with Firestick.
don't use built in Lan use a USB adapter to plug a 1 gig adaptor
can install a hard drive as well to backup movies
Why not use the built in NIC?
@@philiprobar because its slow and you really need the 1 gig connection especially when using back loaded apps
Even the $20 Onn Box destroys the Fire stick lmao
I just got a small question. I guess I’m a little slow when it comes to certain things like this. It looks like it would be great. I would love to have one, but you still have to keep your Internet on or can you do without your Internet or Wi-Fi with this.
Still needs internet. If you run it through Ethernet you wouldn't need wifi I guess.
Thanks for the review.
Is this faster than the $20 Onn box? I have one of those and it’s very laggy for me when navigating the screens and opening/closing apps. I’m overall disappointed it, but I guess I can’t complain for $20.
Sounds like an animation issue. Reduce it to .5 or turn it off all together. Might want to use a custom launcher as well. That being said and to answer your question it is definitely faster. Better CPU, More ram (always improves performance) and more storage (also helps).
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Thanks for watching!!
Please put a warning way ahead of time on any products you are reviewing where you say the trigger word to activate your and potentially anyone else's personal assistant.
I did on the follow up video.
For some reason it doesn't support Sling TV unless you sideload it. Hopefully it's because it's still new and Google will catch up with it soon.
That’s weird!! I’ll double check some other devices to see if sling was pulled from Google play.
@@Triple_M my old Onn box received a Sling TV update today so I looked for it on the new box in the Play store again and it's there now. 👍🏻
So I have all the othered on the benchmark and then some. But with the talk of Amazon stopping the side loading on the firedevices I might give it a go just for tv apps.
The news came a long time ago right ?
Is there any update related to it about removing the other app installing/side loading?
