When will my Philips Android television update to Android 9?
If you have a Philips Android Television that came with Android 8.0, your television will be updated to Android 9.0 later this year, in Q3 2020.
Philips televisions that came with Android 8.0 can be identified by a model number ending in 504/F7, 604/F7 or 704/F7. Note that televisions ending in 604/F7 A, 704/F7 A 604/F7 C or 704/F7 C shipped with Android 9.0 and this article does not pertain to those models.
In order to make certain that the update to Android 9.0 goes smoothly, it will be necessary to update your television to the latest firmware, version 113. The update to version .113 will be released on 8/31/2020.
We will be pushing this update out automatically to all televisions in the next month, so you may notice a reboot when you turn the TV on when the update occurs. Let the TV update fully. It will reboot and begin updating. Once it has finished, the home screen will appear.
Please verify that you have firmware 113 by going to Settings->About and verify that your firmware is now 113. You only need look at the last 4 digits of the line labeled "Software Version" you should see 113_#, where # is a number that is not important.
You can initiate this update manually by going to Settings->About->System Update and following the on-screen instructions.
Again, after the update completes and you see the home screen, you can verify the firmware updated by going to Settings->About. You only need look at the last 4 digits of the line labeled "Software Version" you should see 113_#, where # is a number that is not important.
You will have a notification on screen that an update is available and you can simply accept the update or manually initiate it as detailed above.
