After months in preview, Google has finally launched Android 13 for Android TV OS.

HDMI state changes can also communicate with the MediaSession lifecycle in Android TV 13 which can help some HDMI devices save power or pause content when the HDMI state changes.

As with most major updates to Android TV, we don’t expect Android TV 13 to ship on any consumer devices for quite some time.

For the time being, Android TV 13 is only available on the developer-focused ADT-3 as well as in the Android TV emulator in Android Studio.

There are both Android TV and Google TV versions available.

Android TV is a version of the Android platform which has been modified by Google to run on televisions with over 5,000 native applications

The platform is often found on devices from Nvidia, Hisense, and Sony, with operator devices also using Android TV
