Google rolls out new Shop tab for Android TV: Here’s how it differs from Discover tab
Google has introduced a new feature for Android TV. Starting today, all Android TV devices in the U.S. will have a new “Shop” tab that lets users explore and buy or rent movies and shows. Android TV users around the world will get a new Shop tab in the coming weeks, according to Google.
The shop tab will let users browse and compare all the movies for rent or purchase across their streaming services, without opening each app separately. The new tab helps you discover new titles, while the “Library” section displays thumbnails of movies and TV shows you’ve bought from Google Play Movies & TV, YouTube, Google TV or Android TV.
After buying titles from Android TV, users can download them on their phone or tablet via Google Play Movies & TV and watch them offline or on a different device.
How Shop tab differs from Android TV’s Discover tab
The Shop tab and the Discover tab on Android TV have some differences, despite their similar appearance. The Discover tab shows users suggestions from various streaming platforms, based on what they like to watch, regardless of the price. The Shop tab, however, only shows users content that they can buy or rent.
Android 14 is coming soon to Android TV devices, as per Google. The beta version of the software indicates that users will have features like an accessibility menu at the top level, with options such as text scaling, bold text and colour description, 9to5Google reports.
Meanwhile, Sony has launched its new Bravia XR A80L OLED series in India, with four models in different screen sizes. The smart TVs have an OLED display and a Cognitive Processor XR and run on Android OS and Google TV.
