Google Introduces New TV Streamer

Replaces Chromecast and adds an improved processor, double the memory, and 32 GB of storage.

Google has announced the launch of its latest streaming device, Google TV Streamer, which replaces Chromecast. Google TV Streamer doubles as a smart home hub for your Google Home and Matter devices. It also has a new sleek design that fits right into your home’s decor without standing out.

Google TV Streamer

Google TV Streamer offers access to 700,000+ movies and shows through streaming apps like YouTube TV, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, and more, in addition to live TV with 800+ free channels. To make it easier to find what to watch, Google TV Streamer uses Google AI and your preferences to curate content suggestions across all your subscriptions, organized in one place. You can even build watchlists with recommendations for every member of your home. And thanks to Gemini technology on Google TV, you can now get full summaries, reviews, and season-by-season breakdowns of content.

With ambient mode, you can turn an idle TV into a work of art by using your voice to pull up favorite memories from your Google Photos or create one-of-a-kind screensaver art with generative AI.

Google TV Streamer offers an improved processor, double the memory, and 32 GB of storage for faster app load times and smoother navigation than previous generation Chromecast. And with 4K HDR with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, every detail, sound, and image feels like a cinematic experience.

You can connect your Google TV Streamer to a Wi-Fi network or use an ethernet port for faster, buffer-free streaming with snappier navigation and app loading or switching. The Google TV Streamer is designed to sit in front of your TV, rather than tucked behind it, to improve connectivity across your smart home devices.

Google TV Streamer has connectivity support for Matter, along with a built-in Thread border router, a technology that allows you to quickly and safely connect smart home devices like locks and motion sensors. Together, this allows your smart home devices to work as a team with faster response times and improved reliability.

The Google Home panel has now been brought to the biggest screen in the home. The home panel lets you check your cameras (see who’s there when your Nest Doorbell rings), adjust the lights and temperature, close the blinds, and more — without leaving your couch. It automatically syncs with your Google Home app, so it works with millions of devices, like the new Nest Learning Thermostat.

For an even better-connected experience, Google TV Streamer allows you to cast media from your phone, add it to speaker groups, and control music in your house directly from your TV.

Google TV Streamer is available in two neutral colors: Porcelain and Hazel (exclusively available only in the U.S. Google Store). Its low-profile form is sleek and stylish so you can tuck it neatly between your TV and the media console, and to allow for that handy ethernet port.

Based on user feedback, Google has redesigned the voice remote, making it easier and more comfortable to hold with improved ergonomics, like a textured back for better grip and an optimized button layout to fit hands of all sizes. You can also program its new customizable button to immediately open your favorite app, switch inputs or launch the Google Home panel with just one click.

Google TV Streamer is available for pre-order now. It will be available on September 24 for $99.99 from the Google Store and other third-party retailers.
