Smart Technologies (BD) Limited (Sony-Smart), the official distributor of Sony in Bangladesh, unveiled its new range of Google TVs on the occasion of World Television Day.

The launch event took place on Thursday at the Sony-Smart showroom in Shyamoli, Dhaka.

To mark the occasion, the company celebrated by cutting a saffron cake, coinciding with the globally recognized Television Day on November 21.
