The Nokia Media Streamer has a minimalist design quite similar to that of the Mi Box S Xiaomi. It’s small, compact, and only weighs 39 grams. It connects to any television using the included HDMI cable, although you also have to connect it to a power source for it to work.
Once installed, the Nokia Media Streamer runs Android TV 9.0 on your TV and is capable of playing content at a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD) at 60 FPS.
The following apps are pre-installed: Netflix, ZEE5, YouTube, Google Music, and Google Play Movies. Luckily, it also brings Google Play Store so you can install all the apps you want.
Of course, it only has 8 GB of internal storage for it. In terms of power, it uses a quad-core processor accompanied by 1 GB of RAM and a Mali 450 GPU, which is more than enough to play streaming content without problems.
Likewise, this Nokia Media Streamer connects to the Internet in your home and to your mobile via WiFi, either through the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. As if that were not enough, it has an integrated Chromecast so that you can send content from your mobile to the TV easily. With regard to audio, it offers Dolby Audio even on TVs that do not have this technology.
Last but not least, we must talk about the command that includes the Nokia Media Streamer. This remote works wirelessly and allows you to control the TV Box remotely with some great buttons. They have buttons dedicated to Netflix and ZEE5 to open these apps immediately. It also has a button to invoke the Google Assistant, which allows you to control the TV with voice commands.

For now, the Nokia Media Streamer is only available in India through the Flipkart store for a price of 3499 rupees or about 39 euros to change.
