Eyeing a new smart TV but can’t bear to burn a hole in your wallet? A more budget-friendly alternative would be to equip your regular TV with an Android TV box! Read on to learn more about how this nifty device can add value to your entertainment setup and discover some of the best Android TV boxes in Singapore worth your money!

How an Android TV box can boost your entertainment options 

An Android TV box can be plugged into any television to improve its entertainment options. Instead of relying on regular satellite or cable channels, these TV boxes give you the ability to stream content locally and online. In fact, some of the best Android TV boxes in Singapore even support Google Chromecast and smart home assistants such as Google Home Mini (available on Project KR) for a seamless viewing experience!

You can also gain access to the Google Play Store via an Android TV box! Some of the best Android TV boxes in Singapore can do even MORE. We’re talking about social media, web surfing, games and even working on Microsoft Office! Compared to a smart TV that can go up to more than $1,000, an Android TV box will only set you back by a couple of hundreds — making this a worthwhile investment for every household! 

Things to look out for when buying an Android TV box 

  • Processor

Your Android TV box processor determines its performance speed. A laggy interface may drown out your excitement for the new series you’ve been dying to watch. The best Android TV box in Singapore is one with a bigger RAM with at least a 1.5 GHz-quad core CPU.

  • Storage capacity

Often download videos to watch on your TV? Then you might want to pay attention to the Android TV box’s storage capacity. While some smart TV boxes allow you to transfer downloaded files, many of them come with limited storage space and support fewer apps. Thus, we suggest going for an Android TV box that has at least 4GB of RAM and a minimum of 32GB internal storage. Better yet, if you can get one that supports external storage! 

  • Display specifications

Choose an Android TV box equipped with an HDMI 2.0 for 4K streaming or one that at least supports HD contents. It’d be a plus if your TV box has Dynamic Refresh Rate Switching which can help you toggle between low and high refresh rates based on the system usage. 

  • Operating system

We suggest picking a smart TV box with an OS higher than Android 6.0. This ensures that your device can support most of the Play Store apps for at least the next few years. 

  • Connectivity

Check that your Android TV box is Wi-Fi enabled and has at least 802.11ac for a smooth streaming experience. Those looking for a more stable connection should get one with an ethernet port. You should also buy one with Bluetooth connectivity so you can transfer files or connect accessories to your Android TV box easily. 

  • Google Play Store

Surprise, surprise! Some Android TV boxes don’t support Google Play Store and instead, have pre-installed third-party apps. This may restrict your flexibility in choosing the apps you prefer. So, look out for an Android TV box that supports Google Play Store so you can directly download compatible apps!
