Haier and Candy: what they ship with and what comes off

This site's directory holds 536 television brands across 390 platforms, and 415 of them do not have a single platform to themselves. Haier is not in that group, and that is why it gets its own page: it is the mirror image of JVC.

A manufacturer with a name and an address#

The twenty product sheets we downloaded from Haier's Spanish shop all carry the same line in their technical specification table:

Fabricante    Qingdao Haier Optronics Co. Ltd.

All twenty, from the 32 inch H32K702FG to the 98 inch H98S900UX. Our page on JVC tells the opposite story: names rented from a licensing company, no factory behind them and nobody specific to complain to. Here there is a factory, and Haier Europe's corporate site lists its three brands plainly: "Candy, Hoover, Haier". The same site describes Haier Europe as "part of Haier Smart Home, the number one Company globally in home appliances".

In fact, the footer of Haier's own Spanish shop names the operator as Candy Hoover Group Srl, based in Brugherio (Monza e Brianza). And the "Datos del producto" PDF for the H85M92FUX, linked from the television's own page, is served by a domain that is not Haier's: docgenerator.candy.it. Same house, same document server.

Seven names on a single platform#

The directory records, for every model, the device the set reports. On the hanyang platform, seven different trade names are attributed to Haier. These seven rows are literal:

Haier,CANDY Android TV,candy android TV,hanyang,tv
Haier,EVVO 4K Android TV,EVVO Android TV,hanyang,tv
Haier,Haier 4K Android TV,Haier 4K Android TV,hanyang,tv
Haier,Haitech Android TV,Haitech android TV,hanyang,tv
Haier,HEC Android TV,HEC Android TV,hanyang,tv
Haier,INNOVA 4K Android TV,INNOVA android TV,hanyang,tv
Haier,MAGELITE Android TV,Magelite android TV,hanyang,tv

That same platform carries 15 brands in all: besides Haier, there are Blaupunkt, Hyundai, Linsar, Aqua, Bauhn, Durabrand, EKO, KONKA, Polaroid, QBell, S Vision, Soniq, Unionaire and Zephir. The seven names repeat, one by one, on nippori, which is the 2K version of the same thing.

On daan there are only two brands, Haier and Aqua, and Haier's six rows split between the Haier and Candy names. On dupont and broadway you get Haier, Candy and HEC.

Three platforms it shares with nobody#

Hardly any brand in the directory has an exclusive platform. Haier has three, and all three sit at the top of the range:

Haier,Galaxy TV AEL,Galaxy TV AEL,irvine,tv
Haier,Haier OLED TV AE,Haier OLED TV AE,irvine,tv
Haier,Haier OLED TV AS,Haier MatrixTV AS,irvine,tv
Haier,Galaxy TV FE,Galaxy TV FE,burrard,tv
Haier,Galaxy TV FR,Galaxy TV FR,nanaimo,tv

irvine carries the OLEDs and one Galaxy TV; burrard and nanaimo carry one Galaxy TV each. No other brand in the directory appears on them.

The other extreme is there too, and it is worth saying: building your own sets does not stop you sharing. On SW6H, Haier sits alongside 26 more brands, among them Sharp, Thomson, Daewoo, Akai and JVC. And on dangni, which carries 60 brands, Haier's row declares a model that 108 other brands in the directory also declare: AI PONT. A factory behind the set does not make it exclusive. It makes somebody identifiable answerable for it.

Which system each model actually runs#

This cannot be assumed. Haier's Spanish catalogue holds 80 televisions: 59 sit in the "Google TV televisions" collection, 13 in "Android TV televisions" and 8 are in neither.

And the labels contradict each other. The H85M92FUX is filed in the shop as Android TV, yet its table says "Smart TV: Google TV" and, two lines below, "Sistema: Android 14". Its 65 inch sibling, the H65M92FUX, has no "Sistema" row at all, while the marketing text talks about "Android 14 con Quad-Core". The user manual covering both, along with five other models, says at first-time setup: select "Set up Google TV" on the home screen.

What is clear: the K702, K705, P800 and S800UG declare Android 11 in the table, and almost everything else declares Google TV. Those are two different menu trees, and it pays to know which one you have before hunting through Settings.

Shops add noise of their own. MediaMarkt and PcComponentes both list the H32K85GFX, the first also the H55S80GUX and the second the H32S80GFX, and none of the three appears on Haier's Spanish site. For those three there is no official table to read, so their system cannot be confirmed without switching the set on.

The regulated sheet: who signs for each television#

In EPREL, the European energy labelling register, a supplier-or-trademark search for "HAIER" declares 130 records of electronic displays. That search ignores pagination and always returns the same block of 25, so we could only download 44 unique sheets out of those 130. Of those 44, 40 are filed by HAIER IBERIA, SLU.

Here is the part that matters to a buyer: the register forces suppliers to declare how many years software updates will be available. Most of the Haier records we pulled declare 8 years, and five declare 10. The exception is the H65S9UG PRO, which promises 10 years of support and only 2 of updates.

Candy is there too, barely: 2 records, both downloaded. They are the 43C6GFX and the 32C6GFX, filed on 13 January 2026 by CRANE YAXU LIMITED. That same registrant, on that same day, filed two Haier sets, the H43K85GFX and the H32K85GX, of the same diagonal and with the same standby draw. Searching HEC, Haitech and Magelite returns zero records. And EVVO's five are not Haier's: they are filed by Vestel Holland BV Sucursal en España.

Note what that means in a shop: searching "candy televisor" on MediaMarkt returns "¡Ups! No hemos encontrado ningún resultado", and candy-home.com has no television category in Spain or in Italy. The Candy television exists on paper and in Google's device list, but it is not on sale in either of those two markets. If one turns up in yours, the platform codes below are the way to work out what it really is.

Memory, which is what decides the useful life#

Of the 80 televisions in the Spanish catalogue, exactly one publishes its RAM in the copy: the H43S80FUX, with "2GB de RAM". The H85M92FUX publishes it in a loose block on its page, "4 GB de RAM y 64 GB de almacenamiento", and none of the twenty specification tables carries memory or storage at all. With ADB connected it takes two commands:

df -h /data says how much storage is left.

cat /proc/meminfo | head -1 says the total memory.

How to tell which one you have#

Stop reading the badge on the front and ask the set instead:

adb shell getprop ro.product.device

If it answers hanyang, nippori, daan, irvine or any of the others, that is what to look up in the directory. And that is the practical point of this whole page: a package list for a Haier works on a Candy and on an EVVO that share the same device, because the software does not come from the badge. Without ADB to hand, Settings → System → About shows the model and the Android version.

What comes off and what stays#

Comes off without thinking: the streaming apps you do not use and the demo modes. The M92 remote has dedicated YouTube and Live TV buttons, and disabling com.google.android.youtube.tv leaves that button dead, so decide first.

Look before you touch: the recommendation engine (com.google.android.tvrecommendations) tidies the home screen, but it also empties the "continue watching" row.

Do not touch: Google Play services (com.google.android.gms), the launcher (com.google.android.tvlauncher on Google TV) or anything starting with com.android. you cannot identify.

All of it is reversible: a disabled package comes back with one command, and a factory reset puts the television back in the box. The general method is in cleaning up an own-brand TV.
