“All our televisions of 2015 will operate with the new Android TV platform,” said chief operating officer of Sony, Mike Fasulo, at CES, while exhibiting new products.
“Android is a system widely accepted in the mobile space, you can enjoy content on your smart phone and tablet on TV, no problem,” he said.
The Sony televisions operated allow access Android games, applications and other digital content in the online store Google Play, and viewers can control the television using the smart watch giant Japanese consumer electronics.
Philips reported that all intelligent devices incorporate Android Lollipop, then adding the same options as those of Sony.
