I bought this about 3 weeks ago. It’s has a GREAT picture!!!!! However the android tv software is very slow and buggy. Lots of app crashes and getting stuck resulting in the tv restarting itself. If you purchase this tv, it is a must to get a Roku or Apple TV etc...
Sony should not advertise hands free google home integration on their televisions unless they actually work. I have a brand new sony x900f with android and google assistant, I also have several google home minis and google home speakers. Now you would think that an android tv and google home would be a seamless process to configure and work together, of you thought that you would be wrong. No only does google home not control the tv, but to make it even worse I had to buy a chromecast dongle to make google home work with my chromecast built in tv to make it just turn on and off with voice control. The flip side of this is that Alexa controls almost all functions with little set up. I 2ould have been better off buying a non android tv and saving a few bucks on these useless features, no one wants to talk to their remote...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
