The latest Android operating system for smartphones right now happens to be the Android 10, which is the build fresh out from Google offices. But, while the Android smartphones are running Android 10 for quite some time now, the TVs which are based on the Android TV software have been stuck on the Android 9 Pie version of the Android TV for long now. But, it seems that the wait for Android 10 on TVs is finally over for the viewers. Now, before you get ahead of yourselves, it is worth noting that the Android 10 for TVs does not bring any substantial interface-level changes that would catch the eye of the viewers or bring any major changes to the UI of your TV. The main changes that Android 10 brings for Android TV-based devices are on the backend. Some of these changes include key performance and security updates and API level 29. Also, for the developers who work on Android TV, there is a new dongle called ADT 3.

Android 10 for Android TV Improvements
The announcement of the new Android 10 for Android TV-based devices, comes from a new blog post from Google in which the company has highlighted that it ships new performance and security upgrades. Along with this announcement, Google has also shown excitement for its new project Treble that will bring speedier Android updates for all Android devices, including Android TV. The company has noted in its blog post, “We’re excited to provide faster updates through Project Treble and more secure storage with encrypted user data. TLS 1.3 by default also brings better performance benefits and is up to date with the TLS standard. In addition, Android 10 includes hardening for several security-critical areas of the platform.”
