Between all three second-generation Android 9 dongles, this flavour from Ottocast feels a little more refined in its menu and appearance. Its minimal floating menu does make it feel much less annoying, yet it still requires constant altering between various Android apps and whilst using CarPlay. Personally, I would have preferred a consistent side, or bottom, menu during Android Apps, and go full screen for CarPlay and Android Auto, because each has its own return home button that could take you back to the Android interface.

Performance-wise, it is exactly the same spec as the other two dongles, so there’s no improvements here, other than it is capable of performing well in the majority of apps you’ll want to use in the car. Like most Android AI Boxes though, unless you have a decent internet connection, this can heavily limit the general speed of the apps that need it. Such as fetching location data and directions in navigation apps, login into accounts, and fetching media content from video streaming apps. Although its 4GB of RAM may be enough, you still might struggle with page loading and general clunky Android performance, unless you download content, such as maps and video files.

These second-generation AI boxes are pretty much mirror images of themselves, so when it comes down to choosing which one is for you, you have to look at the menu UI, its casing and cooling, bundled apps, support, and most of all, price. The menu is certainly the more refined of the three, however, switching between Android and CarPlay can always be a painstaking experience sometimes with all of these dongles. So if you’re looking for a second-generation Android 9 AI Box, then if you can get it at a competitive price, the Ottocast is probably the best out of the bunch.
