New Hands-Free Streaming Experience Makes SHIELD Even Smarter

Meet Your Google Assistant on SHIELD
The Google Assistant experience on SHIELD has been optimized for your TV. It is enhanced for the living room by taking advantage of the TV screen for visual responses. With the Google Assistant, you can now search apps, browse movies and TV shows, find content or ask it to give you recommendations, and control media with voice commands on SHIELD.
World’s First Hands-Free Streaming Device
