Google TV

Google announced a series of updates for its new Google TV devices. It has also been updated with several new features on supported devices, including the recently launched Google TV Streamer. Amid these announcements, Google has now revealed a dramatic increase in the user base for its Google TV, and the previously used Android TV OS.

Google via its new blog post confirmed that Google TV and Android TV OS are now active on over 270 million devices monthly. This means that the company has seen 80% growth since 2023, as it had only 120 million active users in early 2023. This growth is significantly faster compared to what we’ve seen over the past few years.

Google also mentioned in the blog post that Google TV is expanding to more Asian countries, like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Moreover, you can access Google TV services from multiple devices, like the new Google TV Streamer, TCL, and Hisense TVs, and other smart projectors as well.

The new home panel on Google TV allows users to manage compatible smart home devices, like speakers, cameras, or thermostats, from their remotes. Additionally, Google has introduced a new personalized home screen experience that converts the TV into an art display or showcases memories from Google Photos, when it’s idle for a long time.

There’s also a new Sports page in the For You tab, which makes it easy to catch live games or highlights. Google AI is also rolling out to all Google TV devices, helping to analyze and suggest content according to user’s preferences.
