When anyone says the word Android the first thing that comes to mind is Android-powered smartphones. But smartphones are not the only devices powered by Android. The world of smart TVs has also seen dominance from the Android OS. There are two versions of Android available in the world of TVs - AOSP (Android Open Source Platform) and Android TV OS. It is always preferable to go for the Android TV OS as it is built for the TV from the ground up. AOSP gives a lacklustre experience on a TV. A few years ago Android TVs were laggy and gave the users a buggy experience. But not anymore. Most of the Android TVs especially the premium ones come with a smooth experience and Android TV has also evolved giving users a clean and easy to navigate UI. If you are in the market to pick up an Android TV, here is a list of the best Android TV’s that money can buy. This list comprises TVs that we have reviewed along with some that we think deserve to be on the list based on their specifications.
The Sony A9G launched in 2019 is one of the best TV’s money can buy. It is an OLED panel giving you deep blacks and rich colours. The TV is 4K and supports all HDR formats under the sun including Dolby Vision. The TV has a Netflix calibrated mode giving you the Netflix experience that content creators wanted to give consumers. The TV is also feature rich. It has the second generation Sony Acoustic Surface technology which makes the entire display a speaker. The TV has three actuators and two subwoofers to give you an immersive experience.

The TV runs on Android TV out of the box with support for all streaming services and apps from the Google Play store. When left in standby mode you can switch on and off the TV from the comfort of your voice.
The Sony A8G has the same feature set as the A9G mentioned above with the only difference being the design and the processor powering the TV.
