Google TV
Google teased its Google TV showing its amazing user experience. As they say “Your Voice is Your Power”, dedicated remote control allows you to use Google Android Assistant seamlessly to control your TV. There is now a “For You” tab in Google TV where you can find the content which Google arranges considering your interest. You can just say “What should I watch?” for Google to just show you the suggestions based on your interest calculated by AI.
Google TV has all the OTT apps that you want and can stream Live TV seamlessly up to 4K. All the entertainment apps are built-in and also downloadable from Google Playstore as its an Android Tv. The remote control is so sleek and simple and has dedicated buttons for YouTube and NetFlix. You can connect your Chromecast to any android devices like Google Nest. Also, you can view the live feed from the surveillance camera at your front door by just saying “Show me the front door”.
