Hisense links this manual from the U6N product page. It documents hands-free Google Assistant, a microphone switch on the bottom of the TV, and Screenless Mode for wake-word operation while the screen is off, confirming TV-side far-field microphone hardware.

Firmware support status hasn't been confirmed for this model from a citable source yet.

What that actually means for your TV →

Hisense's "up to 8 years" update commitment applies to its VIDAA platform, not the Google TV software this model runs. No equivalent public commitment for Google TV models could be found. Stays unverified rather than assuming the VIDAA promise carries over.

Whether this model runs ACR hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

The U6N manual lists an Automatic Content Recognition switch under Settings > System > Advanced System > Enhanced Viewing (printed page 19), but describes it only as picture and sound adjustment. Hisense's US Enhanced Viewing notice says ACR viewing data is opt-in and not offered on all models, so whether the U6N collects it remains unverified.
