Sony's UK specifications for the K-43 to K-75S25M2 list voice search with a voice remote in the box, but no built-in microphone and no microphone switch, which Sony's UK specifications do list on its sets that have one. The product information sheets say "Voice recognition sensor available: No".

Sony UK's Samba Interactive TV page lists "Google TV models" as supported, but also says the Samba TV app isn't available on any of its 2025 UK models, so that wording doesn't cover every Google TV model. The page doesn't name 2026 models such as this one either way. If your TV offers Samba Interactive TV, Sony says it's off unless you agree to it, and can be turned off in System Preferences > Samba Interactive TV (the location may differ on your model). Checked 23 Oct 2026.
