Google is working on a TV Streamer set-top box | Infinium-tech

Google is working on a new Chromecast with Google TV device, and it looks quite different from what we’ve seen so far.

According to 9to5GoogleIt will be called the TV Streamer and will have a set-top box design instead of the oval dongle. The remote will also be slightly redesigned, but will retain its oval shape.

The Google TV Streamer looks similar to the Pixel Tablet Charging Speaker Dock, but it will be slightly oblong. It has two cables coming out of the back; presumably, one is HDMI, and the other is the power cord. It may or may not have some display or touch capabilities; the source has no information about such features.

The remote looks the same, except that the volume buttons are now on the top instead of the side. The home button is now color-coded, replacing the voice input button.

The Voice button now comes with a regular microphone image instead of the Assistant logo, which is an understandable move, as Google is working on merging its own AI engine, Gemini, with Assistant across all devices.

The Input/Source key is also getting a makeover – it now features a Magic symbol, which will allow users to reprogram it to one of a few functions, including device input or app shortcuts.

Google is going to hold a big event on August 13, in which the new Pixel 9 phones will be launched. A TV streamer may also be introduced, but we will have to wait for further confirmation.
