Smart TV vs. Android TV
Let's start with the Smart TV to understand the differences between the two of these TVs.
Smart TV
Smart TV or Internet TV is a television that offers additional programs through Internet connectivity. A smart TV uses apps that are downloaded into its storage, covering from Netflix to YouTube and Facebook.
Thanks to its typically simple and user-friendly interface, it is also easy to use. The only downside to a smart TV is less frequent firmware updates, which can make the system obsolete over time.
Android TV
An Android TV offers similar features to those available on a Smart TV. Both TVs can be connected to the internet and have built-in apps like Netflix and YouTube. However, the biggest difference is that an Android TV can connect to the Google Play Store. That means you can download and update apps just like you do for your Android device. You can also use the Google Assistant to enjoy a hands-free, voice-control experience.
Advantages of Android TV
If you are wondering what will you get from buying an Android TV, check out some of these advantages below:
- You can access the Google Play Store, where you can install and update apps as you can on your Android smartphone.
- It seamlessly connects with an Android device (e.g., smartphone & tablet) due to its same ecosystem.
- You can use Google Assistant to control your Android TV voice.
- You can personalise your user experience by making good use of the Android TV’s settings and preferences such as closed captions, safe search as well as adding or removing shortcuts or channels.
