Build real consumer devices with Android Things
summary
Android Things powers the production Smart Displays sold by Lenovo, JBL, and LG using a standardized Qualcomm SDA624 SoM, with Android framework apps swapping seamlessly between provisional dev kits and final hardware. Engineers prototype with laser‑cut plywood and built ~150 internal units, iterate through EVT/DVT/PVT stages, and manage releases via dev/canary/QA/stable channels. Security includes a physical hardware mute circuit and camera cover, and Google commits three years of stability and patch support.
