A friend says that the Onn devices still sideload and have more memory and storage anyway.

I switched from fire stick to onn box and it works good enough and can play emulators. I had to "side load" retroarch as the one in the play store didn't n't work as it wasn't the latest version. All I really care about is smart tube though.
