Tl; DR
- Acer announced the Google Acer 4K UHD TV box.
- The gadget includes USB-A connectivity, an Ethernet port, a microSD card location and an S / PDIF optical audio port.
- The new streaming box has only been launched in South Africa for the moment and costs around $ 80.
Update: August 31, 2025 (1h30 he): Acer Africa has now issued corrections to its original press release, and its Google TV box is a little less impressive than it was originally claiming.
The company said Android authority that the ACER 4K UHD Google TV A 2 GB of RAM box rather than 3 GB. It added that the device is delivered with an AMLOGIC S905X5MM chipset rather than the previously indicated S905X5 processor. He notes that this chip does not have TPU of 4 tops either. However, the company also says that you can expect 32 GB of internal storage.
In any event, these corrections mean that the new company streaming box is not as capable as it first noted it. However, the variety of ports and sufficient internal storage are always welcome advantages.
Original article: August 29, 2025 (9:12 am): Acer is not exactly a company that you associate with Google TV Boxes, but the company has now launched a fairly impressive streaming box. Say hello to the ACER 4K UHD Google TV box, or AITV.
The Acer Google TV box stands out because it offers a wide variety of ports. Expect HDMI (no surprise here), USB-C, USB-A, an Ethernet port and a microSD card slit. The new TV box even includes an S / PDIF optical port if you prefer this audio solution. It should also be noted that the device has a separate power input, releasing the USB-C port for other uses.
I don’t want to miss the best of Android authority?
Regarding basic specifications, the ACER 4K UHD Google TV box is shipped with an AMLOGIC S905X5 (CPU quad-core Cortex-A510, Mali-G310 GPU), a 4 top TPU, an increase in super-resolution and Wi-Fi 6. 2 GB. Our fingers are crossed for 3 GB, because 2 GB of RAM does not really cut it more.
Otherwise, the streaming box has a fairly standard TV remote control. Expect shortcut buttons for YouTube, YouTube Music, Netflix and Prime Video, as well as a giant “Live TV” button.
Hoping to get their hands on this new Acer Google TV box? Well, the bad news is that it is only announced for South Africa at the moment. There is no word on a real release date, but Acer says that the device is available in pre-order and will cost 1,499 South African rands (~ $ 80). This price puts it more or less with the third generation Xiaomi television box on the market.
In any event, we asked Acer to clarify the amount of RAM in her television box and if it plans to bring the gadget to more markets (for example, the United States). We will update our article as soon as the company returns to us.
