Android TV vs Samsung’s Tizen OS vs LG’s web OS: What is the Difference?

With new smart TV versions being released into the market it becomes hard for the customers to choose the best.

The hardware and the software are the two things people look for while buying a television. The hardware consists of the audio quality and the display features. The software part of the television is becoming more and more critical as it needs to be upgraded for the proper functioning of the apps and other features.

The major operating systems used for most televisions include:

·         Web OS for LG smart TVs

·         Tizen OS for Samsung smart TVs

·         Google Android OS for most Android TVs

·         Fire TV edition

Comparison between Android TV vs Samsung’s Tizen OS vs LG’s web OS

• Android OS provides smart content recommendations based on web activity. It has a scrollable interface with row-based menus. Both Android TV and Google TV run on the Android OS at their core.
• LG web OS and Samsung Tizen OS are both Linux-based operating systems and are completely different from Android TV.
• The UI of web OS and Tizen OS is also very similar, with bottom-bar menus that don’t take up the entire screen. Without even opening an app, recent activity and recommendations related to the app are displayed on the screen.

In terms of ease of use, web OS and Tizen OS are clearly better than Android TV.

• Android TV features a built-in Chrome cast for seamless smartphone casting whereas web OS and Tizen OS have their own screen mirroring technology.
• Android TV is much better than web OS and Tizen OS as the experience is seamless. Desktop screencasting is possible in Android TV in high resolution and with audio output and minimum latency. Web OS and Tizen OS need to download a separate app and have to pair smartphones manually for screen mirroring.
• Google Assistant is better than Alexa, Siri, or Bixby. All Android TVs have Google Assistant support.
• Android TV supports the Google Play store that allows users to download almost any app from the play store and also for side load apps. Web OS and Tizen OS allow users to install apps but users cannot side load apps using the apk version on Tizen OS and Web OS.

With the above comparisons, it is clear that all three TV platforms have the necessary features to make the TV viewing experience engaging and enjoyable. However, Android TV stands apart among the three with added features and an enhanced viewing experience.
