Nokia Android TV box
This Android TV Box will help users with older TVs to watch OTT content and add smart features to their existing TVs. The Nokia Android TV box will reportedly also support Google Assistant for voice commands and voice-controlled remote features
The Nokia Android TV box will be similar to the Mi TV Box that was launched recently in India. The Mi TV box, however, offers output in 4K resolution compared to the Full HD resolution support on Nokia's upcoming TV box. Amazon's Firestick is another product that Nokia's TV Box will compete with.
Times of India, which first reported this, has not shared the exact launch date hence we will have to wait for an official confirmation on the same.
To recall, Flipkart started selling Nokia branded smart TVs in December 2019 with the launch of a 55-inch smart LED TV and recently announced a 43-inch variant as well. The upcoming Android TV box is said to offer a similar Android experience even on your non-smart TVs.
