FAQ:
- Can I use an Android TV without Internet?
Technically, yes. You just won’t be able to stream from apps like Netflix, Youtube or Prime Video. What you can do, though, is mirror your device on the TV through the HDMI port or play offline games.
- Smart TV vs. Android TV
To understand the differences between the two of these TVs, let’s start with the Smart TV.
Smart TV
Smart TV or Internet TV is a television that offers additional programmes through internet connectivity. A smart TV uses apps that are downloaded into its storage, covering from Netflix to YouTube and Facebook.
It is also easy to use, thanks to its typically simple and user-friendly interface. The only biggest downside about a smart TV is less frequent firmware updates, meaning the systems can become obsolete over time.
Android TV
An Android TV offers similar features that are also available on a Smart TV. Both TVs can be connected to the internet and they come with built-in apps like Netflix and YouTube. However, the biggest difference here 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 make use of 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 make use of Google Assistant to voice-control your Android TV.
- 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.
