Overview

  • The debut brings conversational content discovery, follow-up Q&A, spoken responses, and related YouTube video suggestions to the TV experience.
  • Users can invoke the assistant by saying “Hey Google” or pressing the microphone button on the remote, with existing voice commands continuing to work.
  • Google says more devices will get support later this year, including the Google TV Streamer, Walmart onn. 4K Pro, 2025 Hisense U7/U8/UX, and 2025 TCL QM7K/QM8K/X11K models.
  • Google confirmed to 9to5Google that Android 14 is required, a constraint that narrows near-term eligibility across the installed base.
  • TCL’s QM9K sets add an mmWave presence sensor that can wake the screen or show ambient info based on proximity, with U.S. pricing starting at $2,999 at Best Buy.
