It’s been four years since the last generation of Google Chromecast, the Chromecast with Google TV, was released. If you’ve been waiting for a new generation to get one, for now the revival we know it’s going to be totally differentat least according to what has been disclosed so far.
The next Chromecast He doesn’t want to be behind the TV.but it claims a seat at the table and won’t even be called Chromecast. 9to5Google, the media outlet that leaked all the information about it, says its name will be “Google TV Streamer.”
Chromecast doesn’t want to be behind the TV
Surprise, Google’s next Chromecast won’t exactly be a Chromecast, but rather a desktop TV box with a modern design. It will be called, if Google doesn’t change its mind, Google TV Broadcastergiving more prominence to Google TV and ending the Chromecast brand.
The design of the device is quite remarkable beyond the fact that it is no longer an HDMI dongle, with appearance of the charging basealthough we still don’t know if it will be used for anything other than just running Google TV on our TV. It’s still unclear whether it will also serve as a wireless charger or a dock for the Pixel tablet.
Something that remains unchanged is the remote controlin the same style as the Chromecast with Google TV, but with a few redesigned buttons: the volume control moves to the front and the Google Assistant changes the icon to a microphone. We only have a good quality front photo, so we still don’t know if the leaked magic button that debuted on a Wallmart device will arrive.
We don’t have any details on its specifications at the moment. In the photo we see that Two cables come out of the deviceone likely HDMI to the TV and the other to power, and it’s expected to have at least the same capabilities as the latest Chromecast with Google TV.
To know the rest of the details and its price We will have to wait for Google to officially present them or filter them in advance, which is also a possibility. For now, we do not know when they will be announced.
