Android TV vs Smart TV: What’s The Difference

The debate between Android TV and Smart TV has been going on for the past many years. For some, the simplicity of smart TV outweighs the features of Android TV and for the other lot, Android TV is the only way to consume online content on a larger screen thanks to all the cool things you can do with Android TV. So which TV platform is better: Android TV or Smart TV? Well, in this article we compare Android TV vs Smart TV side by side and learn about all the similarities and differences between the two platforms. So without further ado, let’s go through the article.

Android TV vs Smart TV: A Comprehensive Comparison

Here, we have enlisted the two major sections that we have covered in this comparison between Android vs Smart TV. You can click on the link below and move to the corresponding section easily.

Fundamentals

Before anything, we need to discuss the fundamental similarities and differences between Android TV and Smart TV. First of all, a smart TV is a TV set that can deliver content over the internet. So any TV that offers online content — no matter what operating system it runs — is a smart TV.

In that sense, Android TV is also a smart TV, the major difference being that it runs Android TV OS under the hood. If you want to learn what is Android TV in detail then you can go through our linked explainer. There are all sorts of smart TVs — TVs made by Samsung that runs Tizen OS, LG has its own WebOS, tvOS that runs on Apple TV, and more. All these are essentially smart TVs.

As for Android TV, it has carved a name for itself in the market due to its immense popularity and has almost become synonymous with smart TVs. Broadly speaking, Android TV is a type of smart TV that runs on the Android TV platform. While Samsung and LG have their own proprietary OS, it still ships many TVs with Android OS. Sony, on the other hand, is fully committed to the Android TV platform and since 2015, it has shipped all its TVs with Android TV OS.

In essence, Android TV and Smart TV are fundamentally the same thing since both offer content over the internet. As I mentioned above, it’s the underlying OS that makes all the difference.

Android TV vs Smart TV: Differences

In the above section, we discussed the fundamental difference between an Android TV and a smart TV. Here, we are going to talk about the differences at the OS level and which one makes more sense to consumers.

Starting with App Library, Android TV enjoys a vast library of apps thanks to the Play Store support. You will find all sorts of apps that you generally use on your smartphone. From YouTube to Netflix to Hulu and Prime Video, everything is available on Android TV. The best part is that all of the apps are optimized for the TV platform and has intuitive controls for the bigger screen.

Coming to smart TVs that run Tizen OS or WebOS, you have limited app support. Except for some popular entertainment apps like YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix, you won’t find many apps in its app store. The next point is that updates are hard to come by on smart TVs in comparison to Android TVs. On the other hand, Android TV development is quite active and developers regularly push new updates to a variety of apps.

Another major difference between Android TV and smart TV is screencasting. While Android TV has a built-in and deeply integrated Chromecast feature that works seamlessly with Android smartphones, smart TVs have screen mirroring that needs pairing and is a hassle to use. Unlike Chromecast that works in full-screen mode with sound output and exceptional quality output, screen mirroring on smart TVs has high latency and reduced quality output.

Next is voice assistant support. Google Assistant on Android TV has gotten so better that you would rarely find the need to type out your query. On the other hand, smart TVs generally don’t have a voice assistant and come with a full-size keypad to type and find content.

That said, there is one advantage of smart TVs over Android TV. Smart TVs are relatively easier to navigate and use than Android TVs. You have to be aware of the Android ecosystem to fully take advantage of the Android TV platform. Next, smart TVs are also faster in performance which is its silver lining.

Finally, coming to firmware updates. You are unlikely to get major updates on your smart TV after a few years and that would make your TV obsolete. Talking about Android TVs, well, it does not have a stellar track record either and there is nothing to write home about. But Android TVs do receive much longer app updates which means you will continue to have modern apps on your Android TV.

One crucial point to note is that if your smart TV becomes obsolete in the future then you can very well plug an Android TV set-top box or dongle to bring the latest Android TV platform on your TV. You can do the same thing with your Android TV as well. However, you can’t get the latest Tizen OS or webOS by buying a separate hardware device because TV manufacturers don’t offer separate hardware devices for their proprietary OS.
