Google's Upcoming Google TV Streamer: A New Design, Improved Performance, and Expected Affordability

Google is set to release a new streaming device, named the 'Google TV Streamer', which will succeed the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) that was launched in 2020. The design of this new device is quite different from its predecessor, featuring a slanted top and a more conventional set-top box shape. The remote for the Google TV Streamer also undergoes some changes, as it is longer than previous remotes and includes a volume rocker on the face.

The Google TV Streamer is expected to make its debut at the company's August 13 hardware event alongside several other products such as new Pixel phones, Pixel Watches, and possibly other surprises. The device is rumored to offer improved performance compared to previous Chromecast devices and could potentially be a formidable competitor to the Apple TV 4K.

Despite the excitement surrounding this new product, the price point for the Google TV Streamer remains unknown at this time. However, given Google's history of offering affordable streaming solutions, it is likely that it will maintain its usual under-$100 price point.

Google has been in the streaming device market since 2013 with its Chromecast dongle. The company has updated the Chromecast hardware several times since then and introduced a user interface that allows users to stream content without relying on a second device. Some models also support 4K video.

The Google TV Streamer is expected to ship with Android TV, which is the latest version of Android TV. It should also offer 4K streaming capabilities and may come in various colors like its predecessor.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new product from Google!

    The author makes several statements without providing any evidence or justification. These statements include: 'Google is aiming for a set-top/table-top design that has a slanted, pill-shaped surface.' and 'This would be great for Ultra Wideband-powered Tap to Cast that was announced for the Pixel Tablet earlier this year.' However, there is no evidence provided in the article to support these claims. Additionally, the author makes assumptions about the functionality of the design without any concrete information. This can be considered a form of speculation and an appeal to ignorance fallacy.
