An Android TV Box is a small media player that connects to your TV (usually via HDMI) and turns it into a smart TV letting you run Android apps, stream movies/TV, play games, browse the web, and more.
Key specs explained:
2 GB RAM Memory used to run the Android system and apps. Enough for smooth streaming of video apps and basic multitasking but not as fast as higher-RAM models.
16 GB Storage (ROM) Space to install apps, store offline videos, and system files. Some of this storage is used by Android itself, so available space for apps is a bit less.
Android OS These boxes run a version of Android (e.g., Android 10 or Android 12) optimized for TV screens and remotes.
Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Built-in wireless connectivity so you can stream online content and connect remotes or gamepads.
4K Support Many boxes can play Ultra HD content if your TV and internet speed support it.
Turns any regular TV into a smart TV
Access to YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and Google Play Store (app support may vary)
HDMI output (HD or 4K) for high-quality video
Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) for faster streaming
Bluetooth for wireless accessories (keyboard, mouse, headphones)
Expandable storage (USB/TF card on many models)
Remote control included (some with voice control)
Performance: Good for streaming and basic apps, but may struggle with very heavy games or multiple apps running at once.
Storage use: A portion of the 16 GB is taken by the system, so you might have less than 16 GB available for apps.
