If you've been thinking about the next show you can binge on your Android TV, you will probably appreciate Google making things easier for you. The company has added a new feature that will help you find something new to watch. There will now be a rotating carousel of "Google Play Staff Pick" above the apps to show the highlights of some popular shows.

A few weeks ago, it was rumoured that Xiaomi was getting ready to release the Mi TV Stick soon. This USB dongle would be enough to turn your TV into a Smart TV. It's taken longer than expected, but now new hints are suggesting that the launch could be right around the corner.

A major reason why people use voice assistants is that it can often be tedious to type things out. It's even better when the device can recognise your voice and provide you with personalised results. That's what the Voice Match feature on Google Assistant does and it could be coming to Android TV soon.

Are you looking to add Android TV capabilities to your 4K TV without having to replace it with a smart TV? Then maybe the next Google Android TV device could fit your needs. Code-named 'Sabrina', this device is expected to have several great features, including a remote controller that allegedly has a programmable button.

The Google I/O event may have been cancelled, but Google is still expected to launch some new products within summer 2020. One of the devices to be released is a new media streaming device. It's expected to be an Android TV dongle that will replace the Chromecast Ultra and its currently code-named 'Sabrina'.
