Mecool KD1 Android 10 TV Stick
So this is Mecool’s portable solution to streaming call the Mecool KD1 Android 10 TV stick. This TV stick will also surprise you, because it runs on just 2GB of DDR4 RAM and a 16GB of internal storage on the Amlogic S905X4 White to CPU clocked at 1.8 GHz. It doesn’t look like much, but if you put it to the test you will see that it’s performance benchmarks defeats almost all Amlogic S905X3 boxes. It’s running on Android 10 TV OS and it Google certified with Google assistant and Chromecast feature. It has the required DRM support to play premium services in HD and 4K and it’s not rooted. It comes with a wireless voice remote you can use with the Google assistant. This TV stick was not meant for intensive activities, but during this review I was surprised to see how well it plays android games because it has Vulcan support something 99% of TV boxes do not have. So the Mecool KD1 packs quite a punch for its size and the price range of just $49. It even performed very well on my TV box ranking chart.

Final Thoughts
The Mecool KD1 TV Stick is yet another great model by by Mecool for 2021 it’s cheap, it’s powerful, and has features that outperforms mouse Amlogic S905X3 boxes. This TV stick was meant to rival devices such as the Amazon fire stick, the Dynalink TV box, and the evil stream of 4K. Whilst it’s performance is indeed on par with these other models, suffers from the lack of required certification for Netflix and Amazon prime video to play in HD and 4K.
