Nokia Streaming Box 8010

The Nokia Streaming Box 8010 is the best Android TV box I tested so far. It's hardware is powerful and is Netflix approved to stream in full HD or 4K. This Box is excellent, runs fast and stable, and features a Bluetooth Voice enabled Remote, which cannot be controlled with an IR remote such as the Harmony.
