Boxy Android TV Box
Score: 69/100
Roku Ultra
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Roku Ultra 2024 is Roku's fastest streaming player offering 4K UHD at 60 fps with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos. It lacks Apple AirPlay 2/HomeKit and may suffer Wi-Fi range issues while using a less convenient barrel power connector. Ideal for cord-cutters seeking premium performance and a feature-rich remote.
Boxy BOXY is a compact Android TV box offering Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and AV1 support along with a USB 3.0 port for fast external storage. Its Ethernet speed ceiling and modest RAM/storage limit high-performance use cases. Best suited for home-theater enthusiasts who prioritize codec support and voice-controlled streaming.
