Why fire stick and Nvidia shield is better than Android TV

You can cast your Android screen or watch on apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other streaming services. Plus you can stream your PC on your TV and play PC games right on TV

         The TV has been the best source of entertainment since centuries and continues to be a great source of entertainment but like all the other things TV also has gone through upgrades and now is the generation of Android TV. We also have smart TV's from companies like Samsung with Tison OS, LG with its own Thinq OS and Panasonic with Fire OS but let's agree that Android TV is a lot better than Smart TV.

         Smart TV's like one from Samsung is good. They have Wifi, Bluetooth, come with lots of apps that stream content, screen mirroring, a separate app store, a web browser and some even come with AI like the TV will put all the most watched content on Homescreen but do you seriously think that Smart TV'S are better than Android? Of course not. 

        With an Android TV, you can use google assistant, install Android Apps from Playstore, mirror content from mobile, play Android games on TV and much more. You can't come to the gaming experience you get on Android TV with just a smart TV just designed to play TV shows. Android TV has been popular from start and now with Sony and Xiaomi getting Android TV into market Android TV has got a huge boost in popularity. 

       One thing to consider is the price of Android TV is a little costly. If you don't want to go for Xiaomi's cheap quality Android TV's and an Android TV from Sony is little too costly for you then you are at the right place. We have some alternatives that will turn your OLD TV on Android TV. Yes, you heard it right. You don't need to buy a new TV to get an Android TV experience. You can get it on your OLD TV itself.
