It was announced at the end of 2020 that Google TV will slowly start replacing Android TV on boxes, dongles, and smart TVs previously released by Google's Android TV partners. The new Google TV interface will also roll out on a series of new smart TVs being released by Sony and TCL. With that in mind, we've rounded up all the Android TV devices with Google TV, inlcuding a handful of Android TV devices that will be updated with Google TV in the near future. You'll also find a lineup of smart TVs with Google TV hitting the market this year.

Android TV devices with Google TV

Chromecast with Google TV

Chromecast with Google TV is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to start streaming on your TV. It's also the only Android TV device on the market right now that comes with the all-new Google TV UI built in. Perks include access to most of your favorite streaming services, 4K HDR support, Dolby Vision and Atmos, and a sleek remote.

NVIDIA Shield TV

Google plans to give all Android TV boxes Google TV support, which will eventually include the NVIDIA Shield TV. This full-featured streaming box runs on the latest Android TV software, meaning Google Assistant and 4K Chromecast are built right in. It also includes YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Spotify.

NVIDIA Shield TV Pro

The NVIDIA Shield TV Pro is nearly identical to its predecessor, but features twice as many USB Ports, 3GB RAM, and the Plex Media Server. It's also designed with gaming in mind, so if that's not your priority, it's probably not worth the larger price tag. It's also expected to receive the Google TV UI update this year.

Xiaomi Mi Box S

This affordable Android TV media streaming box is expected to be updated with the Google TV UI soon. It also boasts 4K HDR support and is a competitive alternative to the pricier NVIDIA Shield TV devices.

Xiaomi Mi TV Stick

The Mi TV Stick is cheaper than the Mi Box S, but doesn't support 4K streaming, instead only going up to 1080p. Described as a "budget Android TV streaming solution," this stick rivals Amazon's Fire TV Stick and Chromecast with Google TV for the price.

Ematic 4K Ultra HD Android TV box

The Ematic 4K Ultra HD Android TV box provides easy access to more than 450,000 movies and TV shows across more than 4,500 paid and free channels including Netflix, Hulu, and PBS kids. The TV box also supports 60 FPS video at 4K resolution and a remote with built-in voice search technology.

TiVo Stream 4K

The TiVo Stream 4K device lets you search, browse, and create watch lists across all of your apps in one place. In addition to featuring 4K UHD, Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos, the TiVo Stream 4K also has Google Assistant and Chromecast built-in, which are expected to improve with the Google TV update.

The best Android TV devices with Google TV

Among the Android TV devices that support Google TV, Chromecast with Google TV (opens in new tab) is the best bang for your buck right now. In addition to providing access to all the mainstream streaming services, the device is affordable, supports 4K HDR, and is the only product on the market right now with the new Google TV UI built-in. Streamers looking to invest in something a bit more substantial, who also don't mind waiting for the Google TV update, may want to opt for the NVIDIA Shield TV (opens in new tab) or the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro (opens in new tab). Specifically, NVIDIA devices tend to be a better option for serious gamers, and also have the ability to upscale any content to 4K using AI.

As far as smart TVs are concerned, Sony has yet to reveal exact price points and release dates for its line of Bravia XR TVs, However, it's believed the new collection of smart TVs will debut in the U.S. in spring 2021. And while the inclusion of Google TV has been presented as a major selling point for Sony, it's worth pointing out that the new Bravia XRs will still support Apple's AirPlay 2 and HomeKit, Amazon's Alexa, and Google Assistant. TCL has also not revealed specific release dates for its Google TV-supported XL Collection, but did confirm the upcoming 85-inch 4-Series smart 4K TV will retail for $1,600.

It's also expected that, following Sony and TCL's commitment to Google TV, Hisense and Vizio will announce new lines of smart TVs with support for Google TV in the coming months. In the meantime, Google insists that any app that currently works on Android TV will work on Google TV moving forward.
