If you use Google Assistant on Samsung TV, you might want to pay attention to this news. Recently, Google announced that Google Assistant will not be available on Samsung TV from 1 March 2024. So, what should you know about it?

Google Play Movies & TV will be the latest service and application that the company will send to the graveyard, with the app no longer available on Android, iOS, Roku and most smart TVs. Now, Google has pretty much revealed when the app will stop being supported and how those who have bought media through the app can see them moving forward.

 Yesterday, Sharp Corporation officially announced the entry of its latest AQUOS XLED 4K TV to Asia, the Middle East, and Africa Regions. Among the markets, Malaysia is part of the first wave and Malaysian customers can now get the SHARP AQUOS XLED 4K TV with Google TV.

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.

Looks like Google recently confirmed that they will be shutting down the Google Play Movies & TV app on 15 June 2021 and instead be pushing existing customers to their YouTube apps in order to access their existing movie purchases. But that’s not all, 9to5Google also mentioned that the app will not be accessible on Roku, as well as other smart TV brands such as LG, Samsung, Vizio, and potentially more.

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.

Are you struggling or have no idea what videos to watch? Now the brand new Chromecast with Google TV can help you to search and suggest a video for you by just using the voice remote. It is similar to the previous Chromecast device but now comes with a new interface and remote control.

As was revealed earlier this week, Google is getting ready to launch the new products on 30 September 2020. This includes a new Pixel device, smart speakers, and the Chromecast replacement that we've written about previously. Sources have now found more images of the new device and claim that it has a new name.

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.

Google has been working on its next Chromecast replacement Android TV device for a while now. Some details appeared in June, but the company has been rather quiet since then. Now, there's finally some hints that the device could be launching soon, as they have been approved by the FCC.
