Although both offer a similar entertainment experience, there are <strong>Key differences between them that may affect your choice<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we&#039;ll explore the key differences between Android TV and Smart TV, including their features, pros, and cons, and help you determine which is the best option for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/auribluz.com\/en\/4k-and-1080p-differences\/\" class=\"resaltar\"><strong>What is better a TV with 4k or 1080p?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Differences between Android TV and Smart TV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before touching on deeper topics such as the case of each OS, it is important to make a clarification regarding the terms. When talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/auribluz.com\/en\/what-is-smart-tv\/\"><strong>Smart TV<\/strong><\/a>, refers to a <strong>TV that can connect to the Internet<\/strong> and from which you can run and download various applications, for example, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix and other apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong class=\"resaltar\">Android TV is a type of OS found inside some Smart TVs<\/strong>, you can perform certain actions thanks to the fact that it has an integrated operating system belonging to Google, it is very easy to use, because the structure is very similar to that of mobile phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Android TV - Advantages, Disadvantages and Differences\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SQN3KQhwaik?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Operating system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Android TV is a type of Smart TV that contains a free operating system developed and controlled by Google. In itself, there is not much to say about Android TV in this regard, given that, as is well known, Google is also behind the <strong>Android smartphone operating system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for versatility, it can be said that it is a plus point for Android TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart, an English word that comes from \u201cintelligent\u201d, that is, when using Smart TV you are not only watching television, but you can also browse the Internet without any problem, as if you were on a computer, check your social networks, search for any information of interest, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Android TV, there are the operating systems <strong>Tizen, WebOS and Roku<\/strong>, although they are less known, also have excellent performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Downloading applications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important point is that it connects directly to the operating system. If you use Android TV, you will be able to download any application that is on <strong>Google Play Store,<\/strong> This represents a huge advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Android TV you can have applications like: Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Spotify, TED, Twitter, Facebook, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, besides the Android operating system, there are a lot more, for example, the second most popular is Tizen, which currently has about 190 million users in almost 200 countries. This is the <strong>operating system used by Samsung Smart TVs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Android, it offers access to most of the major apps, including Google Assistant, Alexa and Samsung&#039;s Bixby. It&#039;s very easy to use, which is why Tizen&#039;s popularity is growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Open operating system for all Smart TV manufacturers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the best advantages and one of the reasons why we will soon see more and more <strong>Smart TV with Android operating system<\/strong>; something similar has already happened in the mobile market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#039;s the best thing; first of all, almost everyone is used to using Android and, second, it would be very complex for each Smart TV brand to have to build an operating system from scratch, compatibility with applications and other details would be very complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Although Android is an open operating system<\/strong>, major brands such as LG or Samsung, <strong>They preferred to design their own operating system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of an Android TV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Android TV is an operating system used by some Smart TVs, very similar to the one used by mobile phones, but with some marked differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many advantages to having an Android TV. We will mention some of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Versatile and economical<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We all look for products that are good, pretty and cheap, right? The advantage of Android being an open OS is that it allows any Smart TV company to use this operating system in their televisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example,<strong> Brands that are relatively inexpensive, such as Xiaomi, TCL and Sharp, use Android as their operating system.<\/strong>There are Android TVs adapted to different budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Easy to use operating system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Android is a <strong>very intuitive operating system<\/strong>, and we all know how to use it. We can use the menu easily and quickly, and view the content of applications without even having to enter them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Android TV we can resume playback at the exact second where we left off, its interface is quite reliable and anyone can use it, from the littlest ones to the grandparents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. It doesn&#039;t lack any App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other operating systems, <strong>Android TV has all the apps you&#039;re used to using: Netflix, HBO, Disney Plus<\/strong>, among others. Best of all, it always presents the latest updates for each application so that everything works in an optimized and secure way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Games on Google Play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the basic applications, Android TV also offers a wide range of games. In this way, <strong>The TV also becomes a kind of integrated console<\/strong>In fact, many of the games are controlled with the remote control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to add more fun, you can purchase a Bluetooth controller so you can download better quality games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Integrated voice assistant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Android TV you can use <strong>the famous Ok Google<\/strong> so you can control your TV without having to use the remote control. You can search for a movie, turn it on or even ask about the weather just by speaking, fantastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of a Smart TV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many advantages that you will have when you have a Smart TV. Among the most notable ones we have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Watch DTT, cable, satellite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This advantage may seem very basic, but there are currently many ways to watch television. Some Smart TVs have built-in tuners for DTT and cable only, and some have satellite tuners, which will allow us to save ourselves the need for an external synthesizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Record the programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave the house without any problem, without having that feeling that you missed your favorite program. If you have a high-end or mid-range television, activate this function. All you have to do is buy a hard drive and record all your favorite programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Surf the internet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your Smart TV is connected to the Internet, you can browse the web in the same way as you do from your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Check your social networks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are one of those who needs to check your social networks frequently, whether for hobbies or for work, you can configure them from your Smart TV and thus watch your programming without having to be tied to the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. You save the computer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a Smart TV you don&#039;t need a computer or mobile phone to perform basic tasks. Currently, Smart TVs are used much more than computers and it is expected that in the future they will add even more functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is better Android TV or Smart TV?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It all depends on your tastes, and talking about which one is better is complicated. While it is true that Android TV is quite popular thanks to the large number of apps and functionality, other Smart TV OSes also have their audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people prefer to use Tizen or WebOs. Everything <strong>It depends on the consumer&#039;s taste<\/strong>. Also, it is important to remember that there are several Smart TV operating systems and that Android TV is just one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to choose TV Box or Android TV?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest difference between the two lies in <strong>that Android TV Box has a more \u201cnormal\u201d operating system<\/strong>, that is, it is not specifically adapted to a television, it is usually the AOSP version, which is why it may be the case that not all applications will be displayed or function correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Android TV Box generally offers <strong>access to more streaming apps<\/strong>They also allow you to download games and a multitude of other apps, practically in the same way as if you were using a tablet or a mobile phone; in fact, their interface is very similar to that of a tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Android TV, on the other hand, does not usually have software incompatibility problems.<\/strong> and using the remote control is much more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#039;s all a matter of taste, but if what you want is to watch your favorite programming, <strong>To browse the internet or download apps without any problem, the most recommended option is Android TV.<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En el mundo de la televisi\u00f3n inteligente, existen varias opciones disponibles en el mercado, como Android TV y Smart TV.
