Google has announced that it will roll out its Data Saver capabilities to Android TVs. Google has indicated that the Data Saver features will result in a lag reduction on Android TVs and it will also increase watch times significantly. The system will also use Data Alerts, which can indicate when a person has used up a preset amount of data.
The Data Saver capabilities were originally intended for use in Indian markets, but have since been used in other locations. This is due to the popularity of mobile viewing, in conjunction with data restrictions. The feature could be used for home broadband connections, which would allow users to watch video in 4K, up to the limit of their plan.
The new capabilities for Android TV will initially be released in India over the course of a few weeks, with a global release coming after.
