Although the price of the Google TV series products evolved from Android TV – especially the Chromecast with Google TV TV stick is almost incomparable in terms of the degree of closeness to the people, the functions are really quite easy to use. Even the Apple TV App was added to the system early on. However, Google doesn’t seem to intend to stop the usefulness of the TV screen-focused system here, and the preview will bring several major evolutions.

Google TV will push smart home and fitness-related features without making Apple TV special
With the evolution of the Google TV system interface, many Android TV users should have already deeply felt that the TV stick/TV box they bought is really worth the money (Related report: Android TV gets interface update) , the homepage looks more like a Chromecast with Google TV). There are even convenient new features such as children’s accounts, Wishlist and viewing preferences. Support for related services has been added to Apple TV for subscription viewing in recent years.
It has to be said that Google’s enthusiasm for TV screens is indeed quite high, and they also predict that they will further cooperate with more devices to create their own home health comfort zone.

According to reports, Google TV director Rob Caruso recently revealed the company’s development direction for TV system products. It includes smart home and even fitness functions that are more deeply integrated with the “Fit” series.
Rob Caruso mentioned that there is still a lot of room for exploration for Google TV. Not only may Google Fit fitness functions be integrated into it, but it may even work with Fitbit bracelets to provide functions. And for this kind of fitness use, it is also possible to join the three-party service. Yes, it sounds like the concept of Apple Watch with Apple Fitness+ service… “fit”?
Another point of tribute is the collaboration part of the Google Home / Nest home smart control function – it makes people feel a little surprised that it came so late… I mean, I always thought that since Chromecast with Google TV already supports voice assistant voice control , In fact, it should be regarded as supporting such a function, right? But maybe Google is referring to an interface similar to the home console that Android 11 began to provide – related report: Android 11 is super convenient “Power Menu Quick Settings” This teaches you how to use it (supports Mijia!).
Rob Caruso also revealed that the Google Duo calling function, which is currently supported on Android TV, may also support more third-party services such as Zoom in the future; new enhancements are also expected in terms of video content. This should also be aimed at evolution projects during the epidemic. And foreshadowed that he “hopes” these improvements and innovations will come in the next few months.
