Side-by-side-dark-transparent 2017 is quickly becoming a great year for cord cutting and Kodi. (You may remember Kodi as XBMC. Now it is called Kodi.)

Kodi is the ultimate media center for cord cutters and one of the best ways to access it is a Android TV box. If you have a ton of content you want to watch on your TV Kodi is a great management tool to make it happen. What is the best device you can run Kodi right now as 2017 starts? Here is my list of the best Android Powered Boxes on the market today.

Note: I have only added boxes I have personally tested.

Nvidia Shield

If you want something super powerful that plays games, runs Androids, and has amazing 4K HDR support check out the Nvidia Shield. It may really be the best Kodi box on the market today.

You can find the Nvidia Shield on Amazon here:

G-Box Q 2

If you want something cheaper the G-Box Q2 Android streaming player is impressive with 4K, quad core processor, XBMC/Kodi, and Android. The new G-Box Q2 is faster than the older G-Box Q with smooth video play and an attractive design from the box to the menus makes this a solid option for anyone looking for an Android or Kodi player. The best part is that the G-Box Q2 has a clean version of Kodi no skins or add-ons. It is also the bestselling Android set-top box on Amazon at the time of this post.

You can buy the G-Box Q on Amazon here:

MI Box

Fire TV
