What a far-field mic does →

Amazon's Fire TV device specification page lists "Mic: 2 Mic" for the Hisense U7 (2026) and hands-free (far-field) Alexa as "Supported". Hisense's own US product page doesn't mention a microphone.

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

What that actually means for your TV →

Hisense's product page states no update period, and Amazon's Software Security Updates page covers Fire TV devices made by Amazon only.

This model has Hisense's ACR feature (branded "Automatic Content Recognition"), which analyses on-screen content — including over HDMI — to identify what's playing.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

This model runs Fire TV. Amazon's help page says that when ACR is enabled on a Fire TV smart TV, Amazon identifies what you watch through connected devices such as a cable box, and that it is managed at Settings → Preferences → Privacy Settings → Automatic Content Recognition. Amazon doesn't say whether it is on by default. No Hisense source for this model was found.
