While Amazon and Roku continue to dominate the smart TV segment, Google Android TV models are also gaining in popularity. According to the latest data, last year the platform has already passed the milestone of 100 million users.
The news came from a Google spokesperson who shared this information with 9to5Google. This week it was reported that the number of active users exceeds 110 million people per month. This means a significant increase in popularity and user base. Indeed, back in May 2021, the search giant reported that 80 million active devices are running on this platform.
Most of the growth comes from Chromecast with Google TV media players, as well as TCL TVs that run the Android TV operating system, according to the source. In addition, Google has also credited strong growth to its various partners, of which there are currently over 250 worldwide. This includes over 170 Pay TV operators.
The company also confirmed that it is already working with 7 of the top 10 smart TV OEMs worldwide. In addition to TCL, Sony, Hisense and other companies were on the list to unveil new smart TV models at CES 2022. At the same event, Google also announced that Fast Pair will be adding the Android TV operating system.
The company also announced the latest Android TV operating system 12 in December 2021.
