A new Chromecast with Google TV could be featured on the Google Home app. A new leak points to this feature just months after its release. The new dongle was featured in a preview update for the Google Home app.
The new Google Chromecast dongle, according to the app preview, includes a new Google TV device with the YTC moniker. As a trend, the original Chromecast with Google TV was codenamed YTV, while the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) had the YTB codename. The inference to draw from the leaked codename is that the product will be another iteration of the Chromecast with Google TV.
Little is still known about the upcoming dongle outside the Google Home app preview. It could still be under development and is expected to be a high-end product higher than the HD variant of Chromecast. Moreover, there is a need to refresh the current Chromecast released in 2020. It is speculated that the new dongle will support AV1 decoding as a new Google standard. The device will also likely come with a more powerful chipset than its predecessor. There will also be improvements in storage and other features.
Google hasn’t made any announcement yet on the leaked Chromecast with Google TV. This is not the first time when a Google product will leak before its release. We, therefore, expect more release details for the upcoming dongle in the coming weeks. The price and availability details of the new device will also be available later. The mystery however remains that the specific release date for the product is not known. In addition, this could well be a rumor that the company doesn’t have any plans to pursue.
