Most have probably seen the news/ leaks that android 11 is supposed to be releasing on September 8th. All the news articles I can find on it mention the different Google phones that will get the update. Do we have any info on if that same timeline would be expected for supported TVs?
Android 11 is not the same as Android TV 11. Android TV releases are several months after mobile releases. There has not even been another beta image released after the first developer preview first released at the end of June. So Android TV 11 is not on schedule to be released for months.
When it is released it will only be ready at first for official Google-owned products. It will not be on any other manufacturer's devices. It takes time, money, and resources to do the testing and integration necessary for manufactures to put new releases on their products. It does not happen immediately.
It is too early to be speculating about Android TV 11 on any production Android TV devices.
Regardless the date when it's officially released, it's always up to manufacturers to start developing the next version for their devices and it usually takes one or two years after the official release, however, due to covid-19, rumor has it they may jump directly to Android 11, skipping Android 10 altogether, so let's hope they actually deliver 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Seen rumors of sabrina, a new google dongle, getting ready for release.

Do some androidtv devices get version updates? Is it common? Just boxes/sticks, or TVsets too?
