It may be tempting to buy an Android TV box at a low price, but let’s face it, there is always a risk of getting disappointed.

To show you the difference between high-end and budget Android TV boxes, we will compare the two popular models from each category — the more expensive NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro and affordable Transpeed Android TV Box.

Android TV Boxes Compared: What Is the Difference?

The first distinctive feature between cheap and pricey Android TV boxes is the amount of RAM or random access memory. This feature is crucial because it determines the device’s performance. The Transpeed Android TV Box comes with 2GB of RAM, meaning it is slow and will not work with a lot of programs. The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro offers 3GB of RAM space and works faster.

A greater amount of RAM allows the user to run multiple applications simultaneously without the loading circle as well as more advanced applications. However, these two devices have similar read-only memory or ROM. This type of electronic storage is required for downloading content and storing it on the device.

Therefore, ROM is essential for those who are going to install games or create their own library but is not so important for users who will only stream. Both the NVIDIA and Transpeed TV boxes have 16Gb of ROM.

What you need to know is that the NVIDIA TV box is expensive because of its technologies, rather than larger RAM.

Both TV boxes support 4K resolution but the NVIDIA model has a Tegra X1+ chip that is the most powerful one on the market. Using next-generation AI upscaling, the device enhances HD video in real-time to 4K and delivers seamless streaming.

The strong point of the Transpeed Android TV Box is that it comes not only with a remote controller but also a 92-key wireless keyboard with a 360-degree flip design. The keyboard is equipped with an ultra-sensitive mouse touchpad and supports multi-touch gestures.

For your convenience, there is the built-in Google Assistant that can be used to launch apps from the menu as well as see live camera feeds, sports scores, weather, and more.
