The Google Chromecast with Google TV was introduced in late 2020. Earlier this year, a report revealed that the search is planning to debut a 1080p version of this product. A few months later, this upcoming device was certified by FCC. Some of its specs were also leaked recently. Now, we even know the design of the product, thanks to leaked renders.
Roland Quandt of WinFuture has shared a bunch of renders showcasing the design of the upcoming Google Chromecast HD with Google TV. Going by the pictures, the new model will be identical to the original product.
One of the images also discloses the box contents. The streaming device will ship with a remote control, 2 x AAA batteries, a USB Type-A to Type-C cable, and a power adapter. All of them will be white in color, just like the product itself.
Though the appearance will be the same as the older model, the new model will come with a different set of specifications. First and foremost, it will be limited to 1080p (FHD) streaming.
Also, it will feature a slightly lower 1.5GB RAM (compared to 2GB). It will be powered by a less powerful Amlogic S805X2 chipset. But this SoC carries support for AV1 decoding, which is not available in the Amlogic S905X3 chip present inside the original 4G model.
As far as software is concerned, it will boot Android TV 12 with Google TV interface. It will also have support for virtual A/B partitions for seamless system updates. On the other hand, the original 4G model still runs Android TV 10.
This latest Google-branded streaming device is expected to go official at the company’s ‘Made By Google event on October 6.
