According to recent reports, Google may launch a new Google TV in March 2021. Google hopes that its new TV will replace the current mainstream Android TV. However, this Google TV will not come with a brand new operating system. It will still use the Android system but will introduce a brand new User Interface (UI). This will ensure a seamless connection with other smart TVs, set-top boxes, and other devices.
In terms of functions, the new Google TV will help users quickly find what they really want to watch based on their preferences in various applications and subscriptions. For example, when a user wants to watch a horror movie, just use the voice command “Find Horror Movie”, and then Google TV will find all horror movies in all downloaded apps and subscriptions. This will effectively help users save time because they no longer have to open each streaming media application to find it separately.
Currently, Google TV can be used with many applications such as Disney +, Netflix, YouTube, etc. It is expected that more platforms will join in the future. As of now, there is no information on the pricing of this device. In fact, we do not even know the exact launch date for this Google TV. Nevertheless, it is most likely that more information will hit the web in the coming weeks.
