TL;DR Sony has begun updating a wide range of Bravia TV models directly to Android TV 14 with Google TV.
The rollout appears to target Sony TVs using Realtek chipsets.
Android TV 14 brings new features like new energy modes and performance improvements for low-RAM hardware.
Unlike Android on smartphones, the Android TV operating system follows a much longer product development cycle. It’s not uncommon for TV updates to arrive months after a major platform update is released (if at all they arrive). Case in point is Android TV 14, which launched in mid-2024, but has barely arrived on devices other than Google’s own streamers and some Onn 4K boxes. Sony is now massively expanding this list by updating a bunch of its TVs to Android TV 14 with Google TV, some jumping straight up from Android TV 10 and 11.
Reddit user Proshis_Saha_Swopna shared that Sony is rolling out Android TV 14 updated based on Google TV for the first batch of Sony Bravia TVs, namely TVs in the Bravia 2, X77L, X75L, X75K, X74L, X74K, X70L, X64L, W880K, W835, W830L, W830K, W825, W820K lineup.
More specifically, the following Sony TV models are getting the update:
K-43S20
K-43S20B
K-43S25
