Grundig and Amazon join forces to bring a complete new line-up of Fire TV Edition Smart TVs to customers in Germany
Berlin (ots/PRNewswire)
Today in an evolving world, consumers are looking to brands to take the lead in enabling a better future. That's why Grundig has evolved to become a purposeful brand. With that ambition, Grundig is innovating sustainable, aesthetic and high-quality products with right partners.
As a result of this, Grundig launches Germany's first Fire TV Edition televisions, including the world's first Fire TV Edition television with hands-free voice control and the world's first OLED Fire TV Edition TV, giving customers new ways to control their TV and enrich their entertainment experience.
Your voice has the power
With the Grundig OLED - Fire TV Edition Hands-free with Alexa, ease of operation even goes a step further: Thanks to far-field technology, users get hands-free control over their living room entertainment experience. In addition, users get full screen visuals that complement Alexa voice responses on their Grundig TV screen.
With far-field voice recognition with eight microphones and advanced beamforming technology, users can ask Alexa to turn on the TV, adjust the volume, and play, rewind, fast forward, and navigate through their favourite content from across the room. They can also search for a movie or genre, and switch channels with just their voice. Furthermore, users can control compatible smart home devices such as thermostats, lighting, smart blinds, smart locks or security cameras hands-free. Like all Fire TV Edition televisions, the Grundig OLED - Fire TV Edition Hands-free with Alexa will get better over time thanks to the Alexa voice service, which is always getting smarter.
The smartest window in your home
Grundig Fire TV Edition televisions bring together live broadcast TV and all your streaming channels on the home screen. Users can use Alexa to instantly search for and watch live broadcast TV or choose from a vast catalogue of streaming movies and TV shows with subscriptions from Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and more. Grundig Fire TV edition televisions also allow users to access live TV through streaming apps including ARD, ZDF, ProSieben, waipu.tv, and more. By connecting an HD antenna (DVB-T2 HD), cable (DVB-C) or satellite service (DVB-S2) or subscribing to Prime Video Channels such as Eurosport Player, MGM, Starzplay and others it's never been easier to stream live TV. For users who like to hear the latest music, Grundig's new televisions can also play songs, playlists, live radio stations, and podcasts from services including Amazon Music, Spotify, and TuneIn.
Grundig Fire TV Edition television comes with the Fire TV experience built-in, which continues to improve even after purchase, with new Alexa skills, software features, and applications added regularly and becomes a window to the outside world. There are thousands of Alexa skills already accessible today, giving amazing entertainment experiences, and letting users view and control their compatible smart home connected cameras, lighting, security systems, and more.
Embedded with OLED TV technology
The new Grundig OLED - Fire TV Edition is the world's first Fire TV Edition television with OLED technology, blends with breath-taking colours, perfect sound and elegant design.
