1. it is AndroidTV / Google TV
Basically android but for tv with a tv ui, google tv is just a newer name for it with a newer look
the cheap chinese boxes run just android with a launcher
2. smarttubenext is the better app for android tv youtube usage, other apps like kodi are readily available from the play store, and it is android, so of course can sideload apk
now, browsers... are a problem
there is no good browsers for android tv
you can give TCL BrowseHere, TV Bro, JioBrowser a try
I myself am using JioBrowser
or, Firefox technically exists, "Firefox for Amazon Fire TV" but very outdated since it is abandoned
you CAN install normal chrome/firefox/etc, but it is not optimized for tv use, you will need to connect a mouse
3. yes, just get a proper REAL usb3 hub and done (suprisingly, there are fake usb3 hubs that are just usb2)
4. that new model that was linked seems to have 32gb storage
1.Still ok with cheap chinese boxes running android as long as can install few more apps sideload.Basically , 16GB and 2GB ram minimum , youtube when open runs at 200-400mb ram.2GB only can open 1 apps at a time.
2.Prefer youtube extended but no matter which apps cannot win again browse which have a search feature function.Some channel having over few K video.Finding an episode would be hard when some youtube never put into playlist.
3.The browser i prefer is firefox as it can install addon and ads blocking.
Firefox takes up to 500mb so 2GB really not enough.I am always connected to a mouse that is why I hope for 2 usb port , 1 mouse , 2 for pendrive.
usb2 is enough as it's just for mouse and pendrive reading to sideload apps.
4.I can't find the pro new model version on laz or shope , can you help me to check ? or any other chinese android box with the price rm150 ?

So far have bought 9 boxes since 2015.
From Amlogic S805 to S905X3.
The onn box (S905Y2) is one of my favourite as it is really very small, good performance and can operate with a
power bank.
The other favourite is the Xiaomi mi box S. Both can side load and can do Netflix.
The S905X3 4/32GB is flashed to the latest Russian programmer's "Slimbox TV" OS and it is also very good indeed.
In it, there is free VPN for live Badminton matches on youtube. Look forward to tomorrow 9.00am start Indonesia Open with our XD Chen/Toh.
Youtube next for advertisement-free shows. VLC to play network stream videos or plug in a usb.
Kodi, Facebook videos. CNA news, MiHome CCTV cams security monitoring (6 cameras both overseas and local), remote NAS videos/music streaming and files, etc. etc.
Too busy lah! Time not enough!
? 9 boxes ? you are selling ? but will it be enough 8GB only.Running android ver ?
Xiaomi mi box cannot install certain app last time as it crash , maybe because of processor not compatible.Not sure now.
The S905X3 4/32GB how much if can get voucher locally ? I check it's just newly launch.USD $50 = rm250+ shipping = rm300 too expensive as not using a 4k tv , just regular 1080p.
Badminton BWF channel ? I don't have VPN since it's expensive.Not an expert in flashing and worry brick.You mean the Slimbox TV ?
Youtube I prefer Extended version.VLC is default player as it support most codes.
I need a browser which can watch without an issue , most apps are build with ads inside and can't be remove and even remove it'll just stay blank.
A 32GB is a minimum when firefox need over 200mb.
Any suggestion similar to onn tvbox ?
