    This box is amazing! It comes with this GPU:
    The Arm Mali-G31 GPU is an ultra-efficient GPU based on the Mali Bifrost architecture. Bringing the benefits of Bifrost to a different tier of device, Mali-G31 builds on the success of the previous ultra efficient products in the Mali-400 Utgard series. With significant energy and area savings compared to the next level of device, plus support for the very latest APIs, Mali-G31 is the GPU of choice for cost constrained devices.

    I have been a roku user pretty much since the first model came out and I love thier interface . The big downside to them is that they don't have good parental controls so I bought the Onn Stick and it's pretty slow and freezes up with only 1gb of Ram but has dedicated profiles so I can have a kid profile on there. I went back and bought two of the Onn 4k boxes and they are much better than the stick. I think I may get the 4k pro as an upgrade to the slow stick .

    I think the fire stick is complete garbage. You have more than 20 min in to watch something and then it's a hit or miss. Too much lag and buffering. You always get buffering.

    I have one. Great box. Things I don't care for: 1. You cannot adjust the size of the screen. In order to see the whole screen, I have to shrink by 3% and you cannot do that with this box. Shield, firestick and the china boxes can. 2. The tiny select button on the remote. My fingers keep pressing the directional button with it. 3. No IR programing any of the buttons on the remote.

I've heard that Bluetooth connection strength is poor with the ONN, that would be a deal breaker for me, regardless of how open Google TV is. Software support longevity is also a concern.

    I replaced my Google Chromecast With Google TV 4K with this Onn TV 4K Pro Box and honestly the Onn TV 4K Pro Box performs way better and it doesn't have Lag or Slowness like the Google Chromecast With Google TV 4K. If Walmart can keep these Devices Updated consistently and keep them at a good Price then I think they will take over Amazon and possibly even Google Roku and Apple for the best Streaming Devices out there. I'm still keeping my Google Chromecast With Google TV 4K as a Backup because that's what Google has over Onn is consistent Updates since Google is Stock Android but like I said if Walmart can keep the Onn Brand Devices Updated consistently then I can surely see them leading the way with the best Streaming Devices. You get way more with the Onn TV 4K Pro Box then you do with the Google Chromecast With Google TV 4K or other Brand Streaming Devices especially at a $50.00 Dollar Price point you can't beat it.
