Gloria Force RTX DUO VS Arrox F9 Pro

[jimmyrichard]

Hey folks,

I’m in the market for a new Android TV box and currently stuck between two options that seem pretty competitive: GloriaForce RTX DUO and the Arrox F9 Pro. Both have their pros on paper, but I’d love to hear some real-world feedback before I make a decision.

Here’s what I’ve gathered so far:

GloriaForce RTX DUO

• Runs on Android 11
  
  
• Supports HDR 10+ playback
  
  
• Comes with 2GB DDR3 RAM and 16GB internal storage
  
  
• Solid hardware with Amlogic chipset
  
  
• Sleek UI, seems optimized for streaming apps
  
  
• Known for stable performance and decent customer support
  

On the Other Side:

Arrox F9 Pro

• Powered by Android 10 (some claim Android 11, but not always confirmed)
  
  
• Offers 4GB RAM and 32GB storage
  
  
• Rockchip processor – faster on paper, but I’ve heard mixed opinions
  
  
• Includes voice remote and more aggressive pricing
  
  
• Preloaded with a bunch of streaming apps (some bloatware too?)
  

I’m mostly using this for streaming (4K preferred), Kodi, IPTV, and maybe some light gaming. No need for heavy emulation or side-loading custom firmware.

What I’d love to know:

• Anyone with long-term experience with either?
  
  
• How’s the stability, speed, and heat management?
  
  
• Are there any lag or compatibility issues with major apps like Netflix or Prime?
  
  
• How’s the firmware update support?
