Certainly faster than other android boxes I’ve owned. But a couple of issues for me. The remote is too basic. It’s too easy to accidentally touch the volume slider. Also, no on/off switch for the shield itself. If I want to shut down the shield altogether, as I prefer my HDD to power down, I need to unplug the shield and reinsert the cable to get it to power back up. Can’t do much about the power, I think, but I’ll get myself a third party remote to use with the shield.

Not quite what I was hoping for but perhaps due to me not doing enough research. Biggest issue I have is that there is no browser installed and none available from the app store. Is possible to side load Chrome but its not a straightforward process. That said great product and build quality, and if you don't need a browser, probably the best media player I've seen yet.

256 graphics processors, 3GB of RAM, great handshake with Google, over an hour of updating, does not recognise windows NTFS file system, in flash sticks. It is however the best streaming TV box I've ever owned, the remote, is generally far better than a smartphone, or tablet. It Chromecasts very well, from tablets and smartphones, a dream, for catch-up TV, YouTube, Netflix, Google Play movies, music.

As a 4K media player/streaming device this thing is the goods. It'll play anything you throw at it. The game streaming is also great from what I've tried so far. Plex on the Sheild is a beast, providing faultless playback of 4K HDR Dolby Atmos files. This was the missing piece in my 4K entertainment system.

Good product other than it lacks browser, power off option, AAA/AA battery option and doesn't come with HDMI cable. Can't use gaming options unless you buy gaming accessories. Very poorly designed physical remote and Remote app. Forced to sign-up for Google account to even use the product.
