- Google has announced that cheap Google -driven TV works are underway.
- It came shortly after we heard that Android TV now needs 1GB Ram instead of 1.5GB.
- We hope that these TVs still offer a pleasant experience, as cheap Android TV and Google TV devices are at high risk of performance issues.
You do not have to play the arm and leg for smart TV running Android TV or Google TV platforms, but non -smart TVs are still significantly cheap. Now, Google has announced that smart TVs are coming to Kim Ram.
Shubana Radha Krishnan, senior director of engineering for Google TV confirmed in a YouTube video That “low Ram Google TV” are on the way:
We will be in partnership with selected OEMS to launch cheap and reliable low RAM panel TV, which will allow budget -aware users to experience standard entertainment.
It seems like a two -edged sword for the platform. On the one hand, this means that many people should be able to buy TV with the Google TV platform, possibly eliminating the difference between smart and non -smart TV. This will also reduce the need for a TV stick/box purchase. On the other hand, the biggest complaint about the old Xiaomi MITV stick about cheap Android TV devices is that performance can be a problem. The main reason for this is due to a small amount of storage and limited ram.
Do you have a performance problem on your cheap Google TV device?

There is no word about the amount of RAM in these new cheap Google TV sets. However, we have already reported that Android TV now needs at least 1GB of RAM (below 1.5GB), while Google TV was set at least 2GB. It is worth noting that there are already Google TV -driven television sets and TV boxes, including 1.5GB and 2GB of Ram, which shows that these new cheap TVs can have 1GB.
In any case, we hope that Google has improved Google TV OS to operate these devices easily. We also hope that the company has added the list of large streaming app developers to improve its apps on these devices. Nevertheless, if prime video and net flakes struggle to run it, what is the benefit of a cheap smart TV?
