Smart TVs vs Android TVs

Smart TVs and Android TVs are popular choices for modern home entertainment. Smart TVs come with built-in apps and internet connectivity, making it easy to stream content. Android TVs, on the other hand, offer a more customisable experience with access to the Google Play Store and a wide range of apps.

A Smart TV is a television with built-in apps and internet access. It runs on a brand-specific operating system like Tizen (Samsung) or webOS (LG). These TVs are easy to use and come with preloaded apps for streaming and browsing.

An Android TV is a type of Smart TV that runs on Google’s Android operating system. It gives you access to the Google Play Store, where you can download many apps, games, and services. It also supports Google Assistant for voice control.

Smart TVs offer a simple and brand-focused experience. Android TVs provide more flexibility, more apps, and better integration with Google services. If you want a TV that is easy to use, a Smart TV may be right for you. If you prefer more control and customisation, an Android TV could be a better choice.

Key differences between Smart TVs and Android TVs

When choosing between a Smart TV and an Android TV, consider the following.

Parameter	Smart TV	Android TV
User Interface	Simple and easy to use	Customisable with more options
Customisation	Limited	Extensive with Google Play Store access
Content Discovery	Built-in apps and services	Wide range of apps and services
Android TV is the foundation	Not applicable	Built on Android OS for better integration

Screen Mirroring and casting

Screen mirroring and casting are not the same. Mirroring shows your entire device screen on the TV, including layout and actions. Casting sends specific content, like a video, from your device to the TV. Your actions on the device do not appear on the TV.

Smart TVs may support both features, but compatibility depends on the operating system. Android TVs include built-in Chromecast, which works well with devices that support Google casting.

Voice assistants

Smart TVs and Android TVs use different voice assistants. Smart TVs may use Bixby (Samsung), Roku Voice, or others based on the brand. Android TVs use Google Assistant, which offers consistent voice control, access to Google services, and smart home integration. Many users prefer Android TVs for this reason.

Automatic updates

Android TVs receive regular updates from Google. These updates improve features, security, and app compatibility. Smart TVs get updates based on the brand and operating system. These updates may be less frequent and may stop after a few years.

App availability

Smart TVs use brand-specific app stores. These may offer fewer apps. Android TVs use the Google Play Store, which has a wide range of apps. You can find OTT platforms, games, social media, and more. Android TVs offer more choices and newer apps.

Gaming support

Smart TVs support basic games through their app stores. Performance depends on the TV’s hardware and software. Android TVs offer more games through the Google Play Store. They also support gaming consoles and cloud gaming platforms like Google Stadia. Regular updates help Android TVs run games better.
