Amazon’s personal assistant Alexa will be built into LG TVs from now on. The service will be added via upgrade later this month on the 2023 models with ThinQ Artificial Intelligence features.
This means that the Amazon application will be available to receive voice commands. Control other home devices, and perform varied tasks, just as it already does with Google Assistant. In the 2018 models of LG, it was already possible to use speakers with Alexa as an accessory. But now the support is native and includes frequent updates.
For this, he has the assistant Alexa – from Amazon – embedded. You can have it turned off or on the TV, tune in to a specific channel, turn on Netflix or Prime Video. And many other actions that the full potential of the wizard will allow. Then the commands are translated to over 250,000 devices with which the universal remote control is compatible.
It’s in Brazil?
Selected models include UHD, NanoCell and OLED TVs from 14 regions; A
ustria, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. Brazil does not appear in this initial list, but do not lose hope: tests with Alexa in Portuguese are already in progress and the personal assistant should start speaking our language officially soon.
In addition to Alexa, LG has reinforced the arrival of AirPlay 2 and Apple’s HomeKit for OLED and NanoCell models of 2019, but this update comes closer to mid-year.
In addition, the controller can still talk to you, answering questions about the weather, adjusting the illumination of smart lamps, raising or lowering the ambient temperature, setting alarms and more thanks to the integration with smartphones provided by an Android app and iOS.
The price of this innovation, however, is very high: they are almost R $ 1,000 (US $ 249). Incidentally, the product is already on sale on Amazon, Best Buy and also on the site of Logitech USA.
The control looks like a good fit for the lavish Beovision Harmony, a highly artistic smart TV that costs over $ 100,000, making the price of control look like the change of bread.
