About this deal
Below, you will find an in-depth review that will provide you with the information that you need prior to purchasing. Some online streaming applications now deliver their content in this format and this Android TV Box is capable of playing it. I then inserted a 256GB SandDisk 3.0 USB Drive into the unit and formatted as internal storage and it worked exactly like it would on the NVIDIA Shield. Great news! It’s nice to see that they built off the popularity of that device by adding additional storage, AV1 support, and Android TV 11.
I’m happy to see that the MECOOL KM2 box is not using Google TV which is a derivative of Android TV. Google TV is found on the Chromecast with Google TV and includes numerous ads for streaming services.
Another big addition is the inclusion of the AV1 Codec. Soon, this will be the standard streaming format for most services and applications so this will help “future-proof” this streaming device. The Android TV-Box Mecool KM2 has installed 2 GB of RAM and for storage we have 8 GB eMMC that we can expand with a USB memory. It has a USB 3.0 port for connecting external drives (read only) or peripherals and we also have another extra USB 2.0. In the network section we find a wireless adapter Wifi ac + Bluetooth 4.2 that as we can see in the tests the results are good. The internal memory is fast and helps us to use the system with no lag. Answer: NO, at least not in the traditional sense. It does have one USB 2 and one USB 3 port, which I use to access A/V files through external hard drives. Perhaps a music streamer can use the USBs. She agreed that the 2.4Ghz remote was more responsive than the KM7 remote. Unfortunately, my 2.4Ghz remote doesn’t work 100% with Android 11 or I would recommend getting that if you felt the same as me.
This is an open, royalty-free video coding format designed for video transmissions over the Internet. So far so good. Not really a load up with apps kind of guy so it’s perfect. Running smooth and simple. Just like our Shield Pro…everyone can use it because it has everything like the Shield Pro. X5 not so much.You cannot play Netflix in HD on this device. Yes, the KM7 comes with a Netflix application but it’s less than ideal. All in all, this is a great streaming device and it’s nice to see that MECOOL has finally integrated the official Netflix application. Google Assistant is built into Android TV so you will enjoy hands-free access to many features on this Android TV Box.
