Although many companies are still trying to perfect their Android powered Google TVs, CESS 2014 witnessed two giants promoting their respective android TVs. The models showcased by both companies consist of the skinned version of the standard Android TV along with Google play. The screens look different but offer similar features like voice and gesture controls. Hisense had an additional Pulse add-on box to display, which would enable video sharing features similar to Chromecast.
