Last week, Hisense announced that it’d be bringing Amazon’s Alexa smart assistant to some of its 2018 TV lineup. But here at CES 2018, Hisense has taken the wraps off its new products, and with a surprising twist: while several TVs in the lineup are getting Amazon’s virtual assistant, it’ll be joined on the company’s two most premium models — the H10E and the H9E Plus — by Google Assistant, which, unlike Alexa, will actually get a dedicated button on those models’ remotes.

H10E is the top-of-the-line model for Hisense this year, an updated version of the H10D model from last year. This year’s model is brighter at 2200 nits (versus last year’s 1000 nits), switches from Hisense’s OS to Android TV, and features a slight updated design alongside the aforementioned Google Assistant and Alexa voice compatibility. And it’s one of Hisense’s few TVs that have Dolby Vision HDR, too. It’s only available in a 75-inch size, and no price or release date has been announced.
