After Android TV, Name Google TV
After Android TV, the name Google TV is something new. Now, to dispel all doubts, Google TV is not another smart TV operating system. Android TV Smart is the operating operating system that Google has created for TVs, media sticks, set-top-b-boxes and other devices. Android TV is not going anywhere. Google TV can only be considered as a software extension. For example, consider Google TV as a software screen like Android as Samsung's One UI is at the top. Android Google claims that the goal of Google TV UI is to make your TV experience easier. For starters, whenever you decide to watch something, you get confused about what you want to see because you have unlimited options.
"With more options than ever before, it may take a while to see something. That's why we created Google TV - a new entertainment experience that helps you easily browse and find what to look for," explains Senior director of Google TV
The Google TV experience is available with new Chromecasts and devices expected to rollout.
How is Google TV different? Technology
The Google TV UI aims to track your viewing options during your application and subscription and help you see what you really want to see. It is not a separate content streaming platform.
For example, if you want to watch a horror movie, just use a voice like "Find horror movies" from Google and Google TV will hunt down all the horror movies you download and all the apps you have. This will help you save time, as you won't have to open every streaming app in person and see if any special movies you want to watch are included.
Google TV works with apps like Disney +, France.tv, HBO Max, Netflix, Peacock, Rakuten Wiki and YouTube. It is expected that more platforms will be included.
When will you get Google TV?
As far as the Android OS version is concerned, Android TV runs Android version 9 while Google TV is based on Android 10. So, you won’t get Google TV until your smart TV gets the Android 10 update.
The only device that supports Google TV is the new Chromecast with Google TV and it will take some time for Google TV to gain visibility. Google said the new STB, a smart TV starting in 2021, could come with Google TV. By 2022, Google expects to see all smart TVs using the Google TV interface. However, the story may be a little different for devices like the Fire TV Stick, Nvidia Shield TV and others. This is because Amazon and Nvidia do not want to adopt the Google TV interface.
One of the main USPs of Google TV is the ability to add content to the watch list of your phone, PC or other devices through Google search. There is a new Google TV app that replaces the Google Play Movies and TV app that organizes your watchlist and also lets you rent movies.
