Rokid Station, Google-Certified Portable Android TV Device, Media Streaming Box, Best Companion for Rokid Max and Air Series AR Glasses

The picture quality is outstanding. Love that is has a built in battery that lasts longer than expected. Love that it’s portable and just easy to just plug in and go.

So far, the station works great. I downloaded the Netflix.apk app to use it for streaming, and it works, just use a PS4 or 5 controller to navigate. I also picked up a micro HDMI to HDMI 2.1 cable so I can connect the station to my portable monitor, which uses a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. For backup, I have an HDMI to USB‑C adapter to connect the headset in case the included cable stops working. Since that adapter requires its own power, the station supplies it through a short USB‑C to USB‑C cable. This setup is also useful when connecting the station to a PC and playing games at 120Hz. Overall, I now have everything needed to use the station to its full potential. I especially like that it came with a Google remote—when connected to a TV, I can navigate easily without having to use the station directly. This is a great product with multiple usage options.

Update 09/16/25: Rokid sent my a replacement cable but it cost half the price of what the station cost. Do not buy any rokid-station until cables are available! It breaks very easy but is not available on amazon or ebay, or anywhere, is only available from Rokid and very high price! The device really works great. And is better than using the phone (as resolution is way better, and also does not drain my phone battery). I am giving 3 stars just because the cable broke the second week, and I cant find a replacement anywhere. I bought an micro hdmi to usb-c cable but the device does not work. Please tell me where I can find a cable replacement that works. Thanks.

The Rokid Station is like having a portable Roku / Amazon Fire Stick / Apple TV / Nvidia Shield device in your pocket. Plugged into a pair of A/R glasses, it's like a portable movie theater. The 5,000 mAh battery is long enough to watch for about 5-6 hours. Today I watched an entire NFL game on YouTube TV Sunday Ticket. The battery lasted for the entire game and still had 36% left after. You could probably get 2-3 movies out of the battery depending on how heavy the content is and where you are sourcing it from. Device is very lightweight, fits easy in the hand or in your pocket. Pros: * Everything. Just buy it, there is nothing else out there like it and it works. * You can charge the battery while using it (separate ports for battery charging & video out) * Access to every major app you can watch media on (YouTube, Plex, HD Homerun, Pluto, ESPN, NFL, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, etc.) * Can connect to gaming consoles, Cons: * It is slow. If you're used to your cell phone's speed of apps opening and loading, you will be severely disappointed with the Rokid Station. On the main home screen I have to wait 20+ seconds after startup to see the icon graphics. It took 7+ seconds to open the YouTube app, and then I had to wait another 4 seconds for icon images to appear of videos inside the app. Once you have something up and running, it's fine. * It gets a little hot in your pocket or hand while it's a few hours into usage, but that's probably to be expected because it's battery-powered. * Battery life is not displayed anywhere obvious on homescreen. You have to go into a side menu from the homepage ("additional settings") to access remaining battery life. It would be better to have this displayed on the homescreen in the upper corner like a cell phone.

You know that although I have the Flip 5 phone that has USB-C video out, I finally relented to buying this Rokid Station because of several reasons. The first is that any output of video from my Samsung flip 5 phone is mirrored on my flip 5 so I am getting a battery drain from my Flip 5 from the same video playing on my flip 5 and my rokid glasses. If I were to ride the bus (which I do not) I can have the Rokid Station in my pocket and play video without anyone knowing what kind of video I am watching. This is the same as the two most important app from the google store and that is Steam Link and Xbox cloud gaming and if I were to play on my flip 5 phone, everybody and their dog will be able to see what games I am playing since everything is mirrored on my flip 5 phone before streaming to my rokid max glasses. On my Rokid Station everything that streams video it is all private. Lastly with my rokid station in my left hand I can doom scroll through music videos, YouTube and even surf the net through google, all with one hand on the rokid google controls. It is a wonderful device that has a lot of google toys. I can even scroll through my massive video library using VLC to watch movies and even my SBS 3d movies. It is too bad that everybody that has a compatible USB-C video out might miss buying this device especially when you can steam link and xbox cloud gaming without wasting power on having a mirrored screen on a flip 5 phone. I am glad that I bought it but unfortunately for me I could have pre bought this unit for a $100 less but I didn't know back then on how much I needed this device. I love it when I'm playing around with it watching movies in bed without worrying that my battery will die. The bad thing about it is that it is slippery; I dropped it 3 times already and the first time was when I pulled it out of the box and dropped it. Picked it up and dropped it again.... last drop was when I was inserting the cord.... hate the mini hdmi plug as you don't know which side Ito plug it in.

Update: No response from the Support team. Seller told me to arrange a replacement through Amazon support. Amazon support will only allow a return on this item and the price to re-buy is a lot higher now. Return it is. Received the device, plugged it into my AR glasses, no picture. The device goes into standby. Tried using the same micro-hdmi to usb-c cable into a portable monitor which also didn't work. Finally, tried a separate micro-hdmi to hdmi cable into the same portable monitor and the device is functional. But since Rokid has a proprietary micro-hdmi to usb-c cable, I'm not able to switch cables easily. Which means the device is as useful as a Chromecast with Google TV, not the device I ordered. I'm seeing lost of complaints on reddit that there are a lot of faulty devices being shipped combined with poor customer support means that you should be wary of spending money on the device. I've reached out to Rokid support, but not holding my breath, likely this device will be returned.

Android TV in a slim and compact rechargeable remote!! Works well directly connected to the Rokid Max AR glasses with the supplied mini HDMI cable. Easy to set up/sync with existing Google account and so many apps and games available to install. I have used this so far to stream YouTube and Netflix and both works so well- enables viewing on the go with Wifi without the need for your mobile phone to be around. I watched several hours of Youtube in my first try and barely drained half of the battery life! Awesome and I can see myself using this often. 😀
