Today at CES, Panasonic announced that all TVs made in 2024 will now come with Fire TVs built in in the United States. This replaces Android that was on some older Panasonic TVs.
To kick off this partnership, Panasonic unveiled two new flagship OLED TVs for 2024, the Z95A (65 inches and 55 inches) and Z93A (77 inches) smart TVs with Fire TV built in.
“We’re incredibly excited to announce with Panasonic that their new smart TVs will include Fire TV starting in 2024,” said Mr. Daniel Rausch, vice president for Alexa and Fire TV, Amazon. “This means customers around the world will get to experience all the benefits of Fire TV’s personalized streaming experience and access to Alexa, combined with Panasonic’s best-in-class smart TVs.”
The CEO of Panasonic Entertainment & Communication, Mr. Akira Toyoshima, said “I believe that the collaboration with Amazon.com Services is a key step towards realizing the mission of providing new “excitement and comfort” through the power of entertainment and communication. This partnership will offer experiences that allow individuals to encounter the “unknown” and immerse themselves in “emotion,” enriching their lives and filling their time with colour and richness. We are committed to continue providing truly valuable products and services that contribute to customers’ wellbeing through advancements in video, audio, and communication technologies.” Said the CEO of Panasonic Entertainment & Communication, Mr. Akira Toyoshima.
Pricing and release dates for these TVs have not been announced at this time.
