Android TV, a platform from Google, will begin running on televisions from major manufacturers in the spring. Sony, Sharp, and Philips televisions will run the Android TV operating system which includes smart features. Google used a blog post to reveal its plans to get Android TV onto the TV models.

Just as Google is getting Android TV onto televisions from Sony, Sharp, and Philips, Roku is doing the same with its platform. Roku recently revealed it will get its smart platform onto TCL, Insignia, Haier, and Hisense television models.
