New Delhi: In a significant move away from its popular Chromecast dongle, tech giant Google is gearing up to introduce a new streaming device called the “Google TV Streamer.” This set-top box is expected to offer a fresh take on home entertainment, promising enhanced features and a sleek design.
According to recent reports, the Google TV Streamer boasts a unique pill-shaped form factor, a departure from the familiar Chromecast design. Its compact size and HDMI connectivity make it a discreet addition to any living room setup. While details about the device’s full capabilities remain under wraps, rumors suggest it could incorporate cutting-edge features like Ultra Wideband-powered Tap to Cast, similar to the recently launched Pixel Tablet.
The accompanying remote control has also undergone a redesign. The new remote retains its overall shape but features repositioned volume buttons, a dedicated mute button, and a rebranded voice input key. This suggests a potential streamlining of the user interface and a focus on core functionalities.

The rebranding from “Chromecast with Google TV” to “Google TV Streamer” hints at a broader strategic shift for Google in the streaming device market. This move follows the company’s earlier decision to replace “Chromecast built-in” with “Google Cast.”
Speculation is rife that Google could unveil the Google TV Streamer alongside its highly anticipated Pixel 9 smartphone on August 13. If true, this combined launch would generate significant buzz and potentially attract a wider audience for both devices.
As the release date draws closer, consumers eagerly await more information about the Google TV Streamer’s features, pricing, and availability. The device’s potential to redefine the streaming experience has generated considerable excitement among tech enthusiasts and casual viewers alike.
