Sony har startet opgradering af 2018, 2019 og 2020 OLED og LCD TV fra Android 9 til Android 10. Firmwaren tilføjer også nye funktioner som Living Decor.
Opdatering: Sony Japan oplyser til Flatpanels, at opdateringen er planlagt til udrulning i Europa fra "slutningen af november". Den vil rulle ud gradvist.
Firmwareopdateringen er allerede på vej ud i Nordamerika og Asien, og udrulles snart i Europa.

- "A major software update (Android 10) is scheduled to begin sometime around October 2023 for your Android TV model," annoncerede Sony.


 Sony AG9 OLED er en af modellerne, der får Android 10 som del af firmware-opdateringen

Opdateringen vedrører 2018, 2019 og 2020 TV inkl. populære modelserier som AF9, AG9, A8, XG95, XH95 og XH85. En komplet liste findes i tabellen nederst.


Living Decor, soundbar-styring
Ud over opgraderingen fra Android 9 til Android 10, byder firmwaren på nye funktioner som Living Decor, der er en "funktion som tillader dit TV at blive brugt som fotoramme, ur eller til at indgå i dit interiør".

Indstillingensmenuen på TV'et får nyt layout og nogle indstillinger er blevet omdøbt.

Efter opdatering vil det desuden være muligt at kontrollere og opdatere kompatible soundbarer fra Sony direkte fra TV'ets menu, og det bliver nemmere at gemme favoritkanaler fra kanallisten. Sonys udgivelsesnoter findes i deres helhed i tabellen.

Det er en gradvis udrulning og det tager normalt flere måneder for ny firmware at nå ud til alle kompatible Sony TV verden over. Hold øje med opdateringen i dit Sony TV's opdateringsmenu eller download den direkte (til installation via USB-stick) fra Sonys danske supportside, når den lægges tilgængelig (vi vender tilbage med direkte link).

Android 10 er ikke seneste version af Android til TV, men bedre sent end aldrig. Flere af Sonys 2023-modeller kører ligeledes Android 10, bortset fra A95L QD-OLED. A95L er første model fra Sony, der er bygget på MediaTek Pentonic 1000 chippen, som er født med Android 12.
