The launch of the Chromecast with Google TV was somewhat confusing because not only was it a more advanced device than the Chromecast known so far, but it also included new software called Google TV, which was an evolution of Android TV. Despite this, Google warned that on iba to stop Android TV, and that in the future the interface of this system would resemble that of Google TV.
We started to see this change some time ago in some brands, but only now has it hit TVs from other manufacturers, such as Phillips.
It’s not the update to Android 12 that we talked about this week that will take a lot longer to reach the TVs we have at home, if it does arrive.
A new, cleaner interface with a clear focus on content discovery
This new startup interface affects many manufacturers since it is Google that updates the software without having to change the firmware of the televisions, which is very complex due to the type of product in question.
Thus, we see a new interface with a more modern design, without the icons of the sections on the left, and with tabs at the top to go to the Start, Applications or Discover section, this is where Google recommends us series and films we might be interested in.
This section is configured according to the streaming services we have installed, although some like Netflix are not yet showing which Google should resolve.
This update is also coming to OnePlus TVs, which are the ones that appear in the images in this article.
If you have a model with Android TV and you don’t get this update, you can try installing it manually.
