Google has announced its new product called Google TV Streamer. It serves both as a streaming device and as a Smart hub for smart devices. With the announcement of the new Google TV Streamer device, Google has also discontinued the production of Chromecast.
Chromecast is a boon for both smart TV and non-smart TV users. Non-smart TV users can experience Smart TV with the Chromecast stick, while users who have a slow or old Smart TV can get a better and smoother experience with Chromecast. Letโs talk more about the new device that replaces the popular Chromecast.
The Google TV Streamer comes with a different design from the Chromecast. Unlike the Chromecast, the TV streamer is designed to sit in front of the TV. It is big but slim and looks great if you are into the aesthetics.

The TV streamer comes with various upgrades over the Chromecast, which include a better processor, double the memory, and 32GB of internal storage. It supports a 4K HDR with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.
The smart remote that comes with the device is slightly bigger and easy to handle thanks to its improved ergonomics. There is also a new customizable button that you can program to open any app, switch inputs, and open Google Home panel. If you can’t find your remote, you can also make it chime by asking Google Assistant enabled device or by pressing the back button on Streamer.
As for what it can do, the streamer works as Chromecast as well as a Smart home hub. This means that along with giving you the Google TV experience, it also lets you connect and control Google Home and Matter devices directly from your TV.
Along with access to thousands of content via streaming apps, and free channels, the device uses Google AI to provide better content suggestions across all your subscriptions and list them all in one place for easier access. Users will also get full summaries, reviews, and a breakdown of the content before diving into the marathon.
The device comes with Ambient Mode, which makes your TV a display of art when it is not in use, by showing your memories from Google Photos, AI-generated screensaver art similar to Firestick.
Weโre all switching to smart home devices, and Google TV Streamer makes it easy to organize them in one place. It lets you connect and control all devices directly from your TV. For example, you can see your cameras, adjust the lights and temperature, close the blinds, and more from your TV.
Google TV Streamer works as two devices in one package. What are your thoughts about the new Google TV Streamer device replacing Chromecast? Let us know in the comments.
