TCL's UK pages list "Hands-free Voice Control: Yes" and "Hands-Free Google Assistant", but its product information sheets for the 43, 50, 65 and 75-inch V6C-UK say "Voice recognition sensor available: No". The UK manual describes hands-free "Hey Google" through a built-in microphone switch, but says this is only available on selected models. Where the maker's own specifications and the EU product information sheet differ, this site follows the maker's specifications.
