In one of the strangest decisions that are remembered in a long time, Google will try to make Google TV, its televisions platform can be executed in models with little RAM; Something he already tried in his day, failing absolutely.
The great ‘bottleneck’ of Android has always been in memoryboth storage and RAM; The less our device has, the more performance in the performance we will notice, and the less apps we can have open.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the chromecast with Google TV HD gave so many headaches, counting Only with 1.5 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage. Google even had problems launching updates.
Finally, Google decided to say goodbye to Chromecast, and bet on a new type of device, the Google TV Streamer. Although it does not have a chip too powerful, The use of 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage compensates it by far.
Therefore, it is surprising that in the past Google I/or the company has announced that it is working to add TV support with little RAM to Google TV to be able to execute.

At the conference, Google said I was working with “selected manufacturers” to launch new more affordable televisions with pre -installed Google TV. Until now, the system is exclusive to high or medium -end televisions.
Input, this seems good news. It means that More users will have access to Google TV experiencewithout having to pay hundreds of euros more for privilege. For Google, it is a movement that makes sense.
However, it is a mystery how Google intends to get Google TV to work on televisions with little RAM, If until now it has not achieved it With its own Chromecast devices.
Normally, televisions with Google TV have a system with at least 2 GB of RAM, twice what televisions mounted with old Android TV. Google may want to approach Ram Gigabyte.
The consequences of such a cut are not clear. Will Google TV work with only 1 GB of RAM? It is unlikely, and that is why it is most likely that these televisions have a somewhat limited experience.
The big question is whether consumers will be clear that they are buying a television with Google TV ‘trimmed’ or if they can enjoy the full experience. Google still has a lot to answer about this plan.
At the moment, the best option we have if we want to use Google TV on a cheap television is to buy an external player such as Xiaomi, or the aforementioned Google TV Streamer.
