Google is gearing up to launch a new streaming device, the Google TV Streamer, as reported by 9to5Google. This successor to the 2020 Chromecast with Google TV 4K will bring a fresh take on home entertainment. Here’s what we know so far:
– The Google TV Streamer will feature a set-top/table-top design, deviating from the traditional dongle style. Images suggest a sleek, pill-shaped surface that stands out with its wider form factor.
– This new device may support Ultra Wideband-powered Tap to Cast, offering seamless connectivity and casting capabilities.
– The Google TV Streamer comes with a stylish base resembling a miniature Pixel Tablet Charging Speaker Dock. With minimal cables for power and HDMI at the back, it ensures a clean setup under your TV.
– The redesigned remote sports subtle changes, including an elongated shape and updated button layout. Notable features include dedicated shortcuts for YouTube and Netflix, along with a new “Magic” or star button for added convenience.
As we await the official release of the Google TV Streamer, it’s unclear if the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) will still be available. This move aligns with Google’s shift from “Google Cast” to “Chromecast built-in” branding earlier this year.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new addition to Google’s lineup!
