[Weekly ELECTRIC ZOOMA!] How is Anker's Android TV terminal compared to Amazon Fire TV?

Google officially supported strength

The first of the use of this unit is pairing with the remote control.I think that there are many people who are confused here, but as the figure shows, bring the remote control within 20cm and less than 20cm, press the "Home" and "Return" button for 10 seconds at the same time.Completed.

After that, if the language setting is set in Japanese, the setting will proceed in Japanese.After that, if you connect to the Google account, you can use Google Assistant and other functions.

Speaking of Anker's Android TV, he reviewed the projector's "Nebula Capsule II" in 2019.Although it was a portable projector, it was a product that was running on Android TV.However, the Google Play Store could not be used, and I had to take an irregular method of installing it via another app.

On the other hand, this aircraft passes through Google authentication and can be installed from Google Play Store.I feel like it should be like this.

After completing the network settings, the remote control function is set.You can skip here, but if you want to operate the TV with this remote control, set it.

When the settings are completed, the home screen will be made.But Android TV 10.There is a difference such as the UI on the home screen in 0, so it is better to go to the setting screen first and update the application.

The old version of the home screen was a style with services on the left side, but in the new UI, this was abolished, and the menu "Home]-[Recommended]-[App] is displayed at the top of the screen.。

On the home screen, your favorite apps are lined up in the upper row, but the recommended video thumbnails are lined up for each available service.

The thumbnail scrolling is also quite fast.Last week's Fire TV Stick 4k Max was a response of "slimy and fast", but in the case of this unit, it was "faster and fast."There are places where the thumbnail display is skipped, but there is no impression.However, the number of thumbnails that is scrolled and displayed is about half of the Fire TV Stick 4k Max.This is probably a difference in OS rather than the performance difference of the aircraft.

The centerpiece this time is rather a "recommended" screen.If you choose this, you will be able to summarize the thumbnails for each type of content.The interesting thing about this method is, regardless of which distribution platform, the content is lined up through.

If the content you are looking at is falling into Amazon or Netflix, you may forget which service is distributed.After entering Netflix, I tend to turn back, "Oh, it wasn't here."On the recommended screen, such confusion should be prevented.

Contents distributed over multiple services can be selected to see which service to watch.

These penetrating searches have started with UI of US cable TV, and are not widely recognized in some cable TV in Japan.If content viewing is overtaking multiple services, these features will be emphasized, and this is the strength of Google.

The service may include Abema TV and Hulu, and there are many animation options.
