Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to another edition of the Android News Byte.
Today, we're going to talk about the successor to the Google TV 4K dongle that the company released back in 2020.
#googletv #googletvstreamer #androidtv
9to5Google reports this product will be called the Google TV Streamer, and we can see they're ditching the dongle form factor entirely.
This new device aligns more with the design style that we're used to seeing in their hardware as of late.
And will be a full on set-top box.
what we know
This product was initially reported on back in March.
Where an APK teardown revealed details of a placeholder that the company assigned within a Google Home app update.
Not much else was uncovered during that initial report, but then a month later the same website released another piece talking about the potential price point being $50 for this new Chromecast like device from Google.
Some have speculated that this will simply be a hardware refresh with an updated chip.
Possibly the Amlogic S905X5, which would be two generations newer than what we have in the current 4K Chromecast device.
But the limited RAM and storage could also be pieces that Google could improve upon, as well.
Google TV Streamer
In this new report, we're getting our first look at what we can expect to see.
This first image shows that Google will be ditching the dongle form factor. . .at least for this specific product.
And the report claims the company is going to be calling it the Google TV Streamer,
Again, the new design fits with what we've seen the company has released in the past.
But it's interesting to see how wide it is compared to other set-top boxes on the market.
This could be an attempt to improve thermals
But it could also be functional as Google did announce a Tap to Cast feature with the launch of the Pixel Tablet.
So I could see that being implemented in the Google TV Streamer as well.
We can expect it to have at least two ports on the back.
One for HDMI and one for the power connector.
But as of right now, we don't have confirmation about whether or not there will be any USB ports included.
There's also this image here, which gives us a glimpse at the new remote control.
Which fits with the previous leaks that we've seen around this new device.
It will be interesting to see if Google ends sales of the current Google TV devices as they look to be moving away from the Chromecast brand.
