Google TV made its debut last year on the Chromecast with Google TV streaming dongle. Following its announcement, it was revealed that the new TV interface will be available on other devices including smart TVs, thus replacing Android TV. TCL is one of the brands that will launch new TVs running Google TV and it has revealed when we should expect the new models.
News of TCL TVs running Google TV was first revealed by the company in January. The Chinese manufacturer whose TVs are widely popular in North America announced that it will launch Google TV-powered models this year in the United States but didn’t say when.
Now, It has been reported that the new TVs will arrive in a month or two according to Shalini Govil-Pai, the VP of Google TV. The executive had revealed the info during a keynote interview for StreamTV Show 2021. This is good news for those who have been waiting for the TVs to arrive.
Back in January, TCL had revealed that it will combine Google TV with its own display technology such as miniLED, QLED, and 8K, so we should expect these TVs to come bundled with the aforementioned features. We do not know if these TVs will come with Stadia, Google’s game streaming service which will be available next week on the Chromecast with Google TV.
Mr. Govil-Pai also reiterated that Google plans to replace Android TV with Google TV. We still do not know how and when this will happen but there is a chance only a few devices will be upgraded.
