Philips rolls out new wave of Android TVs

Philips platform holder TP Vision has announced that the vast majority of its 2015 Smart TVs will be powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop, Digital Spy reports.

The second wave of the company's Android televisions will offer the usual array of connected services, from on-demand platforms to apps and games.

The sets are powered by multi-core chipsets and are said to be ideal for gamers, backed up by Ambilight technology and a dedicated Gaming Mode.

TP Vision wants its latest televisions to serve as a central dashboard in the Smart Home, linking up seamlessly with other Android devices on the same network.

The TVs sport a refined user interface based around the Philips Shelf, which offers quick access to the user's most-used apps and connected services.

They will also come with a smart remote controller that supports voice commands and an integrated keyboard.

Philips 2015 Smart TV lineup will arrive in Europe in the second quarter of 2015.
