![]() ![]() Speaking of Fire TV OS, this platform certainly deserves better. Since these brands are looking to sell their TVs in India, the knowledge of what Indian consumers prefer to watch should be put to good use and not put on the back-burner.Įither the TV manufacturers should upgrade their respective OSes to address the above issues, or opt for more matured platforms like Official Android for TV, or Amazon’s Fire TV OS. And this has been an issue for a long time. Some of these TVs can play content at a higher resolution in apps like YouTube or Netflix, but most of them lack support for popular Indian services like Hotstar, Sony Liv, etc. The other prominent issue ailing Smart TVs is the lack of a decent app ecosystem, especially on Linux-based TV OSes. AOSP is serviceable at best on 32-inch or smaller TVs with 768p resolutions or lower, but the experience is really bad on larger screens. In the majority of cases, the video resolution is capped at 480p or 720p, even for services like Netflix and Prime Video, thus not letting you get the best out of your high-resolution TVs. In simple terms, AOSP is nothing more than a basic phone platform repurposed for TV. To be brutally honest, AOSP (Android Open Source Project) based platforms have no place on Full HD and 4K TVs in 2020. Some may be very basic, but they matter, and need to be there. Here are seven things on my wishlist that I hope to see become common in Smart TVs by the end of this year. ![]()
