In this article, we will discuss the new android update for Android TV.

As we all know, television plays a vital role in our life for entertainment purposes.

And it’s also a medium to join our friends and family members all together in a room.

In this time we all have smart tv. that have any operating system, the majority of them using android os.

They work great.

But,

Sometimes we face some issues. like lags or any abnormal behavior like tv automatically off.

So it’s good news for you, android has officially announced an android new update for tv Android 11.

So let’s come to the main point, and discuss them.

Google says that the Android TV version of Android 11 will come with “many privacy, performance, accessibility, and connectivity features.”

Some major point, that we need to focus on it,

  1. Refresh Google play UI

This feature helps us to better app suggestions and collection.they are approx 7000 application.

Also, we get improved home screen content, they are smartly picked by google play as per your choice and usage(like movies, apps, and game).

2. Auto low latency mode

As we all know, our latest smart tv will do picture processing do upscaling also do frame smoothing.this called post-processing. That’s the reason you get better picture quality.

“As a simple example, on YouTube and many games like pubg.

They have the option to manage the frame rate as per our device’s compatibility.”

Same thing we will also manage in new android 11 updates in our tv for better pictures quality.

3. Cast connection

This feature already supports many devices, but in this new feature, we easily and smoothly connected to our mobile devices’ chrome cast connection.

4. Frictionless or smooth subscription

In this feature, we easily subscribe to any paid service within three simple steps.

5. Instant app feature

In this feature, they show some apps on the home screen, so as per your choice you can install or select try now.

And experience this application easily.

6. Permission security

In this feature, you have an additional option like our smartphone is one-time permission.

In case, you are not interested to take Permission to any app for all time.

So this feature takes you to opt for taking permission for any app only for the period that you want to using the app. After completing the use of this app, this revokes your permission form this app.

And also some feature like google play store option is available, just like a smartphone. So it’s easy to experience new apps.

Also new android 11 support voice assistant GBoard.

They are useful for type your command with your voice.

Android 11 will be available as a system update to ADT-3 devices today.but for other tv we will wait,
