Sony has not only upped its game when it comes to software releases on phones, but has become the leader, beating even Google to releasing the latest Android updates. TVs however are still much more reminiscent of the old Sony with all models still running on Marshmallow, but as John Hoff  writes for Android Community, that could change.

 Some Sony Android TV users are getting reminders about an impending update, and it sounds a lot like Nougat. 

As an owner of the X940E, I’ve yet to receive any notification hinting at a new update but that’s perhaps not surprising, seeing how all Sony updates, even on mobile, are rolled out gradually across the globe where sometimes weeks can separate different territories.

 Some owners of Sony branded TV models powered by Android have been getting a reminder – and that reminder has already appeared officially online at time of writing. The message does not explicitly say that the TVs will be upgraded to Android Nougat. The features that they will be adding on give us the feeling of Nougat, because some of it are exclusive to Android 7.0. 

One would have to imagine that with the Mobile house all sorted and updates coming much more regularly, perhaps TV is next, seeing how that’s the only other major platform on which Sony puts Android to use. Have you seen any new update promoted for your Sony TV?
