Introducing Google TV Streamer: A Smart Replacement for Chromecast
After an impressive 11-year run, Google has bid farewell to the Chromecast line and ushered in a new era with the introduction of Google TV Streamer. This cutting-edge streaming device, unveiled on Tuesday, promises to revolutionize your entertainment and smart home experience.
The Google TV Streamer is set to elevate your streaming experience with its next-generation 4K capabilities, offering a faster and more premium alternative to its predecessor, the Chromecast. Pre-orders for the Google TV Streamer are now open, with the official release date set for September 24. Priced at $99.99 (approximately Rs 8,400), the device will be available for purchase on the Google Store and through various third-party retailers.
Enhanced Features
Google has upped the ante with the Google TV Streamer, boasting a 22% faster processor compared to its predecessor. While some may have hoped for a more significant performance boost, the device impresses with double the RAM (4GB) and quadruple the on-board storage (32GB).
Available in two sleek and neutral colors - Porcelain and Hazel, the Hazel variant is an exclusive offering available only through the US Google Store. The device comes with a redesigned voice remote for added user convenience. Users can now customize a button on the remote to instantly access their favorite apps, switch inputs, or launch the Google Home panel with just a single click.

The revamped remote also features a "find my remote" function, allowing users to locate their misplaced remote by triggering a beeping sound. This feature can be activated through a voice command, provided you have a Pixel phone or a Google Assistant-enabled smart speaker.
Google TV Streamer is equipped with an improved processor, increased memory, and 32GB of storage to deliver faster app loading times and smoother navigation. The device supports 4K HDR with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, ensuring a captivating viewing experience.
