Sony has rolled out a new refreshed version of its Sony Google TV set-top box, in the form of the Sony Google TV NSZ-GS8 which brings with it a couple of new features, tweaks, and enhancements.
The Sony Google TV NSZ-GS8 has been launched to replace the older NSZ-GS7 version (pictured below) and is now equipped with a microphone to support the addition of new voice search features.
Enhanced Voice Search Capabilities
Google added Voice search features to its Google TV service in the autumn of last year, and you can surf via Chrome and add a multitude of applications to the system to personalize your experience. The voice search functionality allows users to simply speak into the remote control to find their favorite shows, movies, or even browse the web. This feature is particularly useful for those who find typing on a remote cumbersome. The integration of voice search makes the NSZ-GS8 a more user-friendly device, catering to the needs of modern consumers who demand quick and efficient ways to access content.
Seamless Content Sharing
Sharing content from your mobile device is also now super easy says Sony. With the new Sony Google TV set-top box, sharing photos and videos is seamless without the need for any cord connections. This is made possible through the use of wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA, which allow devices to communicate with each other without the need for a traditional network. This means you can easily display your smartphone’s photos or videos on your TV screen with just a few taps.
Sony explains:
“Today, Sony is announcing its latest Google TV™ offering with the NSZ-GS8 Internet Player with Google TV™. This uber-cool gizmo plugs easily into your TV – any TV with an HDMI connection – and allows you to search live TV, the internet, and apps. Oh, and you can do it old-school by typing or new-school with voice search – your choice”
The NSZ-GS8 also supports a wide range of apps available on the Google Play Store, allowing users to customize their viewing experience. Whether you’re into streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, or you prefer to browse social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, the NSZ-GS8 has you covered. The device’s compatibility with a variety of apps ensures that there’s something for everyone, making it a versatile addition to any home entertainment setup.
Moreover, the NSZ-GS8 comes with an improved user interface that makes navigation more intuitive. The interface is designed to be user-friendly, with easy access to all the features and settings. This makes it easier for users to find what they’re looking for, whether it’s a specific app, a TV show, or a setting they want to adjust.
In addition to its impressive features, the NSZ-GS8 is also designed with aesthetics in mind. Its sleek and modern design ensures that it will look good in any living room. The compact size of the device means that it won’t take up much space, making it a great option for those with limited room.
Overall, the Sony Google TV NSZ-GS8 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering enhanced voice search capabilities, seamless content sharing, and a wide range of apps. Its user-friendly interface and sleek design make it a great addition to any home entertainment setup.
