It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that you can't find the Apple TV+ on Android. And we aren't talking about Android TV, but the Android OS itself which could change according to a leak.

If you have been looking for a smart TV, there's a good chance that you have come across multiple PRISM+ TV ads online. Yup, the same PRISM+ brand that has been telling you that its TVs will soon be sold out over the past two years (speaking from experience). But finally, I got to test and review one of its smart TVs.

After being ignored for a couple of years, Google has finally replaced the Play Movies & TV app on both iOS and iPadOS to the Google TV app. With the update, comes a few upgrades that Apple users that use the app have been missing out on such as the remote control feature to control Android TVs using the app.

If you are looking for a smart TV aside from popular tech brands such as Sony, Samsung, and LG, you might want to consider Philips. Just today, it has been announced that the Philips 7000 series 4K UHD Android TVs are now available in Malaysia with sizes from 43-70-inch. 

The unit that we have is the Mi TV P1 55" and that's the biggest among the lineup. Surprisingly priced at RM2499, this is one of the Xiaomi products that will surely catch a lot of attention given the company's reputation. However, that's just the surface and this is why you are here to read our review, yes? Without further ado, here's the Xiaomi Mi TV P1 55" review. 

Smart TVs with Android TV have gotten more affordable over the years, so more people have become interested in getting one. It helps that Google is actively improving the platform too. In fact, the company just updated Android TV's UI to make it more streamlined.

Today, realme Malaysia unveiled their second round of AIoT products.

Now that Android 11 has officially launched, we're seeing a lot of brands making that transition for their devices. But they're not the only one, as Google has begun to upgrade some of its other platforms as well. Specifically, the company has confirmed that Android TV will be getting upgraded.

With how things have changed this year, video calling is probably a trend that won't go away. That's why we're seeing more of such services popping up and developers making great efforts to expand and improve them. Google is doing the same and with Google Duo by adding support for the service to other devices.
