Which TV boxes are compatible with android TV 12?

by durrburger93

I'm not at all familiar with how Android TV works in terms of updates compared to mobile Android. As far as I know we can't install custom ROMs like we can on phones when they stop getting updates, so I'm not sure what box to get that will get Android TV 12 quickly.

I have a Sony x900f and the only things I want are a slightly faster navigation and Android 12's refresh rate switching/4k UI, but without losing any functionality like Dolby Vision etc. Aside from that, I would go as cheap as possible since I really don't need much from the box as I use the TV as a monitor often, so this is only for occasional movie/show viewing, not constant use.

Android TV 12 is not released yet.

Also, you're asking for a lot of stuff but don't want to pay.

Android 12 won't make your device magically go faster.

Chromecast with google tv if you want cheap. Shield pro 2019 if you want lossless audio

Most Android TV devices are on either 9 or 10. Some are released or upgraded to 11 this year, with no word on 12.

Answer to question is currently No TV-device supports AndroidTV-12 except Google's Developer TV device, out of the currently available consumer devices to purchase then the Chromecast-GTV will most likely be the first to receive that update eventually. AndroidTV version updates usually take 6 months to a year to be released to the public after the mobile Android update has been released.

Android 12 not on tv yet. Android 10 google tv licensed is ok. Best with Netflix also licensed. Such as mecool km2. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091F18931
