Android TV will be phased out eventually (it already started a couple of years ago), superseded by Google TV. Smart TV is simply a dumb acronym given to TVs that are capable of using Android/WebOS/TiZen/MyHome based OS. goolie liked this post

QUOTE(awol @ Nov 6 2023, 03:33 PM) so moving on only use Google TV branding name instead of Android TV? Yes moving forward it'll be Google TV.i tot last time there is Google TV OS. confusing.  Yeah back in 2010 there was a Google TV SDK, but that got shut down in 2013/14 IIRC. Then Android TV took over and now they're shutting down Android TV and going back to Google TV again. |

QUOTE(acbc @ Nov 6 2023, 04:46 PM) Android TV is old and outdated. @boldedGoogle TV is the replacement and much newer. Smart TV is probably using webOS.  Smart TV is not an OS. webOS is only used on LG TVs because LG bought HP's webOS division back in 2013 after the failed Palm. |
