Philips to drop Google TV for European-based Titan OS

5 hours ago

Philips is replacing Google TV with Titan OS in all 2026 TV models.
Titan OS is a Linux-based, EU-rooted OS using web-based apps instead of native apps.
Key features include no app downloads (just add to homescreen) and a focus on FAST content.
User feedback on Titan OS has not been very positive so far.
Reasons for the switch include lower system requirements and Philips having input on OS design.
Philips may get a larger share of ad revenue with Titan OS compared to Google TV.
Titan OS lacks Google Cast support but retains AirPlay; missing apps include Apple TV and Spotify.
