It’s been two-year-long wait, but the next major Android TV version is finally here.
For those wonderingyes, we’re skipping from Android TV 12 to Android TV 14.
Now that we’re all on the same page, let’s get to the good stuff.
There are also some mild Gemini AI integrations, because why not?
With Android TV 14, users can select between three energy modes.
There’s also an enhanced picture-in-picture flag that developers can enable in their Android TV apps.
App developers have simply neglected this feature because the average smart TV isn’t powerful enough to handle it.
Picture-in-picture may be used by streaming apps, video conferencing apps, and smart home apps.
As for the new Gemini AI integrationwell, it’s cool, but it isn’t earth-shattering.
The Android TV 14 operating system doesn’t introduce any earth-shattering design changes.
However, Google is pushing its Compose for TV development tool into beta.
This tool, which was previously available in alpha, is kind of like Squarespace for Android TV apps.
We should begin seeing the first Android TV 14 devices later this year.
