Google Assistant

I have 2017 55XE8505 and didn't get Google Assistant...

It says that all 2017 4K HDR models should have it...

4 people had this problem.

Google actually announced Assistant for Marshmallow and Nougat, see here. Google will probably enforce it...

I have got the info straight from the apk in apk mirror. The app for Android TV (which is still called Google App) has as a minimum requirement Android 5+, whole Google Assistant, which works only on mobile (I tried installing it in the TV and it was asking for updating something not present in the Play Store) requires Android 6+ indeed.

 

But yes, that minimum requirement can be for installation only, the one (Google App 3.0) I tried on mine with Android 7.0 didn't really work fine (but it did look like Google Assistant). I imagine it requires a bit more changes in the OS than just the app update and after sideloading it on Lollipop it may not work at all.
