 Are you stuck on Android and Google TV? Such is the difference


Some may think that Android and Google TV are the same. Since Android is under Google, it seems natural. But again both these TVs are made by Google. So are Android and Google TV the same? The answer is exactly no. Let's understand them like this, both these TVs have the same DNA. But the experience of both TVs is different.



Android TV has become the go-to operating system for many smart TVs and streaming devices. Or Android TV is the basic software required for TV. Android TV is more popular than other popular options Nvidia Shield and Razer Forge TV. However, in September 2020, Google introduced Google TV.




But Google TV is not a new system. This is just a new look of Android TV. You may think of it as the way Android phone manufacturers change the look of a phone.


More simply, Google TV is the new version of Android TV. Because Google TV is based on Android TV. The difference is that Google TV offers a new and different experience compared to Android TV. It's like wearing new clothes on the same body.



What's in the new version?


The best aspect that has been improved in Google TV is the design of the home screen. Previously, apps on Android TV were only visible in the third design. But since Google TV has a personalized feature, users can give their own home screen look. In addition, the programs and movies of the streaming platform you have purchased are visible on the home screen. This also makes it easier to find new programs.


Another thing that has changed is the watchlist. This feature is not available on Android TV. But with the help of this feature in Google TV, users can keep their favorite programs and movies in the 'watch' list. You don't even have to be in front of the TV to use this feature. You can access this list from your phone, tablet or computer. This feature can be useful especially if you have a habit of forgetting names.


Not only the design of Google TV has been changed, but also the way of operation. You can now find the previously known feature of Play Movies and TV on Google TV. In other words, you can do things like browsing content, buying movies, renting, using only your TV or phone.


Apart from this, some new tabs have also been added to Google TV. Like: In the Live tab, you can watch live broadcasts. In the For You tab, different contents are given based on the contents you have seen before.


How to get the new version?


There are a few ways to get Google TV. Among them, the simplest way is to buy a new device. You can find Google TV in many smart TVs, streaming devices, and set-top boxes.


But if you already have a TV at home, you can Chromecast with Google TV. Which is relatively cheap and reliable. By doing this, there is no need to keep buying new devices.
