The search engine giant’s latest product arrives with a small set top box-like design. So you can expect to place it in front of your TV, rather than have it plug in somewhere in the back, which was the case with the Chromecast. However, apart from just performance improvements, the thing that sets the Google TV Streamer apart from the Chromecast is Gemini AI. Google’s new gadget is powered by Gemini AI, which is the brand’s generative AI that can help users with a variety of tasks. One can find answers or get full summaries, reviews, and more regarding the content they are about to watch with the Google TV Streamer.
This model also features an improved processor that is 22 percent faster than its predecessor, along with 4GB of RAM (double from last gen), and 32GB of internal storage. Google has also claimed that the TV Streamer has faster app load times and has overall upgrades in performance. As the name suggests, it supports 4K HDR and you also get Dolby Vision and Dolby Audio for a more immersive experience. Connectivity options include a USB Type-C port, an HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet port, Bluetooth 5.1, and dual-band WiFi. Notably, it can also be doubled as a smart home hub with support for Google Home Panel that lets you control your smart home devices.
Pricing and Availability
