We’ve been waiting for a Chromecast update for some time now, but still Google TV Streamer leak comes as a surprise Well, as we will see in this news, Google has decided to reinvent its popular streamer, in a change that is mainly aesthetic. Let us remember that the first leak in this regard occurred last April, and that already then the sources indicated that its launch was close in time.
That leak, however, told us about a major change in the controller design, something that according to this new leak is not going to happen and, on the contrary, it did not tell us in advance. the great aesthetic changewhich is its traditional stick shape that connects directly to the HDMI port of the TV. As you can see in the images that have Posted on 9to5GoogleWith this generational change we will find a desktop design, although it is also quite small in size.
At the moment we do not know if this change in design responds solely to aesthetic criteria or if, on the contrary, the surface of its upper part will serve a particular purposesuch as offering wireless charging and/or playback of the content that is currently open on the smartphone. Personally, I am more in favour of the purely aesthetic option, to give the device a bit more visibility, but the second option would certainly be much more interesting.
One change that we did notice in the remote control of this Google TV Streamer is that the volume controls, which are currently located on one side of it, They are integrated into the main button panelwith a double combined button, similar to the one found on the controls of other devices of this type, such as the Apple TV. This change, for those who come from using a Chromecast with Google TV, will be a little disconcerting at first, but thanks to its unique profile (double button) it will be very easy to locate it by touch.
We do not know, at the moment, the potential changes inside, and It is also not entirely certain that its name will change to Google TV Streameras Chromecast as a name is well-established and easily recognizable. However, it makes sense that Google wants to differentiate the device from the technology for streaming content from a smartphone or other type of device, which would explain this change in name.
The fact that these images have now been leaked leads us to believe that the Google TV Streamer will be part of the very succulent menu that Google seems to be cooking up for next August 13, although at the moment there are no concrete signs or leaks that point in that direction.
