The advantage of Google TV is how you have access to literally any app on the Play Store and its contents. It is good to see search gets so much prominence here, underlining that you really don’t need to navigate the apps all the time and simple voice commands will get to you Netflix or the latest Malayalam comedy clips.

But using the remote is easy and intuitive and with the OnePlus TV, the HDMI connection ensured that I needed just one remote for the telly as well as the Chromecast. The volume buttons are on the side and that took some getting used to. There are dedicated buttons for back, Google Assistant, home, mute YouTube and Netflix. It comes with a control ring that helps you navigate and select.
