Generic H313 Android 10 TV Box (2GB/16GB)
Fine for Kodi on an old TV, weak for paid streaming, and an unknown brand on your network.
The short version
- Kodi users who play their own media files
- Adding basic smart features to an old TV on a tight budget
- Tinkerers who are comfortable checking what is installed on a device
- You mostly watch Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+
- You want 5GHz Wi-Fi or a quick interface
- You do not want an uncertified, unknown brand device on your home network
What owners like
- Kodi and local media playback at 1080p work fine
- Small and inexpensive enough to put on a second or older TV
- Handles common video formats in hardware
Common complaints
- Netflix and Prime Video stay at standard definition because of Widevine L3
- Menus and app loading are slow
- Weak Wi-Fi from a single internal antenna
- Preinstalled Kodi builds come loaded with addons best removed
- No official firmware support and no Google certification
Based on The seller listing on Kodi Expert, Geekbuying's spec sheet for the X96Q on the same H313 chip, the AndroidPCTV review of that X96Q, and BleepingComputer's report on the FBI BADBOX 2.0 warning.

What it does
The GooBang Doo MX3 Mini (Android 4.4) is discontinued, so this page covers the closest current listing: a no-name Android 10 streaming box on an Allwinner H313 chip with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage.
- Plugs into any HDMI TV and runs a full Android 10 home screen
- Kodi runs on it without problems, per a review of an X96Q box on the same chip
- Hardware decoding for H.265 and VP9 files from a USB drive or network share
- AV output for older TVs without HDMI
- Very small, with no battery; it runs from a USB power cable
It suits someone who wants a small, cheap box to run Kodi or play local 1080p files on an older TV. It is a poor pick for paid streaming: a tested H313 box only reached Widevine L3, which holds Netflix and Prime Video to standard definition, and no-name Android boxes are the device class the FBI flagged in 2025 for preloaded malware.

Questions
Does an H313 Android TV box play Netflix in HD or 4K?
Not in testing. AndroidPCTV found Widevine L3 on an H313 box, with Netflix limited to about 540p and Prime Video to 480p.
Can an H313 box run Kodi?
Yes. Kodi works on H313 boxes, though a preinstalled copy may come with addons worth deleting.
Are cheap Android TV boxes safe?
Some are not. In June 2025 the FBI warned that uncertified Android TV boxes from unknown brands can arrive preloaded with BADBOX 2.0 malware. It advises avoiding unofficial app stores and isolating suspicious devices from the network.
Is the GooBang Doo MX3 Mini still sold?
No. It ran Android 4.4 and is discontinued. Current no-name boxes on chips like the H313 fill the same budget slot.
