 Smart Platform & Performance

Runs Google TV (Android 12-based), offering built‑in Google Assistant, Chromecast, personalized app recommendations, and access to streaming apps via the Play Store

However, performance issues are widely reported:

• Reddit users complain of only 2 GB RAM, causing apps to be aggressively killed in background. One user noted:

  “it’s killing them so that every time I go back into the app it’s restarting…” (e.g. Netflix resets profile selection).

• The UI is sluggish, with delays navigating Home menus and switching apps. Another user wrote:

  “scrolling through my home menu is almost painful… waiting 1‑2 seconds before the cursor finally …”.

• Other issues include video playback glitches, especially in live‑action streaming apps, with some users describing pixelation and freezing in Netflix and YouTube on native Google TV—while HDMI inputs and external devices worked fine Reddit.

• Firmware support is limited and inconsistent; users report difficulty locating and installing official updates, risking long‑term reliability
