Features which make the upgrade to an android box worth it

An android box is a very effective alternative to a smart TV. 

Most of the android boxes are extremely affordable when compared to a smart TV. A smart TV will cost you somewhere around 25k to 40k. The price goes higher for different brands and screen sizes. But the cost for an android box always remains extremely lower than that of a smart TV. 

For example: you can buy Airtel Xstream box for just one-time fee of Rs. 2000! The Mi android box costs around Rs. 3999 and the new Tata Play Binge box costs somewhere around Rs. 2500. 

You might think that such affordable alternatives will not provide good video or audio quality. But as a user you will notice that most of the android boxes provide 4K video quality and really good audio system. 

The Airtel Xstream box offers 4K video quality along with Dolby 5.0 surround system, best in the business to its users. So don’t worry, you are not compromising on the quality.

If you wish to watch your TV shows and OTT content on your smart TV, you will have to get a normal set top box to view your regular TV shows. But with an android box, there’s no need to get a separate set top box for your network TV shows. You can always switch between DTH and OTT platforms using the same set top box. 

Moreover, the android boxes come with built-in Chromecast and their separate voice enabled remotes (depends on the brand). 

So why wait? Go for a cheaper, effective, and versatile option for your entertainment today with an android box. You can check out the available boxes in the market. Do a price and features comparison to get the best one for yourself.
