Earlier this year Google unveiled its new plan to take over your living room. Following the demise of Google TV the company came up with a completely new platform that it introduced as Android TV. The company said that set-top box and television manufacturers will make products powered by Android TV and Sony is the latest OEM rumored to join this list. The company’s Android TVs are expected to hit the market by early 2015.
The report claims that Sony’s Android TV products might appear in the market as early as February 2015. The Android TV-powered smart TVs from Sony will tout the platform’s user interface and allow users to access content from Google Play Store. Support for Google Play Music, Play Movies as well as other applications is rumored to be onboard.
Apparently Sony’s Android TV-powered smart TVs will have a TV app that will allow users to switch to live broadcasts and even have support for Sony’s own features such as PlayStation 4 Remote Play and the PlayStation Now cloud game streaming service.
Sony’s offering are likely to be available in a variety of sizes, in both 1080p and 4K resolution. If early next year is really the target for these products then I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony showed off its Android TV smart TVs at the Consumer Electronics Show 2015 in Las Vegas during the first week of January.
