2019 Sony Android TV's Shipping With 2016 Android OS
Model: XBR-43X800G Just wanted to warn everyone that Sony is shipping 2019 Android TV's with Android TV OS 7.0 from 2016 and no upgrade is available through the TV or on Sony's website. Why should I care, you ask? Imagine for a minute if your shiny new iPhone XS came with IOS 9. It means that the TV is running an old OS with an obsolete version of the user experience and missing features instead of the new one being advertised by Sony and Google. In other words, classic bait and switch. I'm trying to decide who is more at fault here... Sony for shipping a new TV with a 3 year old OS or Google for allowing this anti-consumer behavior from their partners. This is definitely going back to Amazon. I'm getting a non-Sony TV with an nVidia Shield for less money and a much better experience. I recommend that everyone steer clear of 2019 Sony Android TV's until they can treat the platform and their customers with some respect.
