Last month, there were reports making rounds that Google could launch a new Chromecast Ultra device in the market which will be based on the Android TV operating system. Now, more information about the device has surfaced online.
Dubbed as Google Sabrina, the upcoming device is an Android TV dongle. It has a pebble-like design which is a bit taller than the current Chromecast device. From the leaked images, there’s a big “G” branding on the device and it’ll be made available in three color options — Black, White, and Pink.
The device will also come with a new Remote Control and from the images, it seems like it’s very similar to the Daydream View. Apart from the ring-based navigation on the top, there are six buttons — back, Assistant, home, star/favorite, play/pause, and volume mute.
Another interesting detail leaked online is the revamp of the Android TV interface based on the content. Some reports point out that the Android TV could get renamed to Google TV which this new device gets launched.

The upcoming product, which is codenamed “Sabrina”, is reportedly powered by an Amlogic chipset and will come with support for Dolby Audio. While some reports suggest Nest branding for the device, the retail name still remains under the wrap.
The leaked images show that the home screen on the software has a top bar where the search field is present on the top-left corner. Then you get options like For you, Movies, TV, Live, Apps, and My Library. The layout looks quite similar to the current layout of the Play Store on Android TV.
