Is there an android OS for it? My mates got one but I've never messed with a raspberry pi

I might get one just to have a mess with, my mate loves his.
I've used this box with various builds and additional apps and it's performed very well on both WI-FI and Ethernet.
For a relatively "budget" box, it performs fairly well.

Looks ok, just the overall build quality that would suffer i assume. Would like to look into these a lot though. Ideal for the kids using homeplugs. Aren't firesticks WiFi only?
ive been looking at similar ones BUT with 3gb/32gb - I don't know a lot about them to be honest but if I'm going to get a 'budget' box then I want to try to 'help' it meet any demands I put on it - I don't know if any of them are original manufacture or badged up and I'm not sure how I would find out - the documentation they supply suggest they are the manufacturers !
Your best budget box would be a cheap 2gb ram android box such as an m8 or m8s or similar in spec, you can purchase on ebay or amazon for around £35-£40 , you can then load all your favorite applications including kodi and any iptv applications from a memory stick , you could also purchase an amazon fire stick or fire tv and load all your content to them , please be aware that if you are wanting the box for mainly kodi then you would need a box with android 5.1 or above to be able to support kodi's new releases

Firesticks are wifi only, I much prefer an android box to the firestick.
Is it this one?
Just noticed this one is 3gb/16gb not 3gb/32gb

that's similar to what ive been looking at - as i said they all appear to be pretty much the same spec and about the same price. so which are oem and which are badged up? although that prob doesnt actually matter because they all offer the same support/returns (though at the prices of postage etc would it be worth it?)
I'm expecting a few emails overnight as theyre now back off their holidays in china and I have asked for quotes from 2 or 3 suppliers for a 'sample'
I've tried the mx3 mxq and a sum vision box. I agree with the earlier guys, get 2gb memory. Make sure you get a box with bluetooth capability, this increases your options for accessories. My Q box was £23 and a waste of money in my opinion. Fine for my kids room. My mx3 has a custom Rom and a custom build KODI and cost about 35 from Amazon

Aazon fire tv 4k may be a bit higher than you wanted but it is well worth it.
Please dont get a firestick they suffer with live streams even on good broadband.
Movies and tvshows are fine
if you want to go cheap cheap. Get an MXQ PRO as mentioned above. No good for plex but handles everything else ok

wouldn't the latest MXQ PRO with 3gb of memory handle most things?
