If you have never used Android TV boxes before and want to start with something relatively simple (and affordable), then TOX3 is a perfect choice for beginners.

It runs on Android 11 OS, delivering decent processing speed and a stable connection with your devices. With multilanguage support, the TV box can operate in English, Chinese and other languages – just don’t forget to install the necessary updates.

According to reviews, the TV box is fairly easy to set up and connect, as it doesn’t have a lot of additional functions. It doesn’t overheat, even though the manufacturer says that the TV box can reach temperatures of up to 80 degrees, which is considered normal.

Some customers recommend changing the standard remote included in the package. It is described as ‘flimsy,’ and the battery compartment cover is poorly adjusted.

Pros:

• affordable price;
• beginner-friendly, easy to connect;
• multilanguage support.

Cons:

• poorly designed remote controller.
