Highlights Android 14 for TV offers significant reductions in boot latency and cold start-up times. Enhanced vertical and horizontal scrolling performance for a smoother user experience. Introduction of Low Energy and Optimized Energy modes to improve energy efficiency. Android 14 for TV promises a 20% reduction in storage usage and lower memory device optimization. The new Android 14 for TV by Google is fine-tuned to fix most issues that might have been experienced by the customers. At I/O 2024, Google revealed that the new Android 14 for TV would be "snappier and more responsive" as compared to the previous releases. Google has now elaborated on the exact performance improvements. One of the areas of research has been the reduction of boot latency, which is the time taken for booting of the device. Additionally, the cold start-up time of the Google TV home screen launcher has been decreased by over 4 seconds. Vertical and Horizontal Scrolling Performance Google Reveals Android 14 for TV With Performance Boosts and Energy Efficiency Enhancements Performance for vertical as well as horizontal scrolling has been considerably enhanced in Android 14 for TV. The slow scrolling problem has been prevalent on a number of Android TV devices. Google has also implemented "faster data loading" in Android 14 for TV. Furthermore, the update promises a 20% reduction in storage usage, although the specifics of how these improvements were achieved are not yet available. Energy Efficiency Modes Android 14 for TV offers significant reductions in boot latency and cold start-up times Besides performance improvements, Android 14 for TV has two new energy modes: Low Energy and Optimized Energy. Low-energy mode, applied when the device is on standby, actually cuts off network connectivity but continues some crucial updates and services. The Optimized Energy mode allows selected services—such as Google Assistant cross-device travels and Wi-Fi casting—to turn on from standby. Increased Energy Mode Introduction of Low Energy and Optimized Energy modes to improve energy efficiency Android 14 for TV also features an advanced energy mode with extra functions available while the TV is not in use, such as cast-over Ethernet and Google Home Platform controls. When on standby, TVs with Android 14 for TV will not exceed 2W of power consumption. That development is in line with an upcoming EU law-making many networked devices limited to no more than 2W of energy use while in network standby mode, beginning May 9, 2025.
