However, the update is rolling out to specific TCL models first. It’s disappointing news for owners of the best Google TVs . Google announced the rollout today, but we got a preview of the update during CES 2026 back in January. The update lets you use the microphone button on your remote to adjust settings vocally. In the announcement post, Google says you can adjust audio and video settings, troubleshoot picture and sound problems, optimize settings, or use it to find specific menus.

Until we get some hands-on time, we won’t know how in-depth the prompts get though. Gemini update availability (Image credit: Future) Here’s the catch, though: for now, this is a TCL exclusive and only for specific models. The update is coming to the QM9K, X11L, QM9L, QM8L, and RM9L. Additionally, your set needs to support Android TV OS 14 or later.
