Google is apparently using the device internally to build out the latest version of Android TV OS, but the box simply won’t be available outside of Google. Google has so far been publicly silent on new developer hardware, which is frustrating, especially with Android TV 14 incoming.Īndroid Authority now reports, citing a slide from the “Android TV partner bootcamp,” that ADT-4 won’t be sold to the public, or even Android TV developers. We first reported on the existence of ADT-4 late last year, with the new developer box for Android TV moving away from the restrictive streaming stick form factor and also bringing more power to the table compared to ADT-3, which was discontinued last year after being out of stock for months. After ADT-3 was discontinued, Google hasn’t yet released a new Android TV developer device, and it seems the ADT-4 box that will serve that role won’t even be available to the public. Developer hardware is important for any software platform, and Android TV has been failing here for a bit.
