Not just smartphones: Google releases first test version of Android 12 for Android TV

Yesterday we wrote that Google had released the first firmware for developers, Android 12 Developer Preview. But, as it turned out,

That's not all - it was followed by the release of the first test version of Android 12 for the Android TV platform.

What is known

Usually the first pre-release versions of AndroidTV comes out a few months after the Android test versions. For example, testing of Android 11 for Android TV began last summer, and the stable version was presented only in September. But its mass distribution never began. Apparently, with Android 12, Google decided to change its strategy and give developers more time.

Unfortunately, there are no details about Android 12 innovations for Android TV yet. The platform should bring a new interface (Google TV style) and an expanded list of codec support.

True, you can only test the new Android on a special device - Google's proprietary set-top box ADT-3, which was created specifically for developers.
