Some users in India, Brazil, and Europe have recently received the Android TV UI update. OnePlus TVs, a few Xiaomi Mi Box models, and even some TCL TVs are said to be getting the UI. It includes all of Google’s content discovery-related changes from February, as well as a minor home screen UI update that adds a ‘Favorite apps’ carousel.
