Android 11 for Android TV begins to roll out, but on a very limited basis

Google rolled out Android 11 earlier this month for Pixel devices, and now, the Mountain View-based company has announced Android 11 for Android TV devices. The software update includes performance and privacy improvements, enhanced memory management, and more new features just for bigger screens.

"We’ve been turning it up to 11 all summer long, leading up to the launch of Android 11 on mobile," Google announced in an Android developers' blog published on 22 September 2020. "Now, following right behind the mobile release, we are launching Android 11 on Android TV to bring the latest platform features to the big screen."

Android 11 for Android TV introduces an Auto Low Latency Mode, low latency media decoding, as well as a new Tuner Framework with updated Media CAS support and extensions to the HAL implementation of HDMI CEC. Google said it also includes extended gamepad support, silent boot mode for system updates, inactivity prompts, OEM configurable wake keys, mew framework functionality for managing System LEDs and physical microphone mute buttons, and much more.
