New Google TV Chromecast on the Horizon: Upgraded Features, Familiar Price Point

Rumors suggest that Google is preparing to release a new Chromecast with Google TV, potentially featuring upgraded capabilities and a familiar price point. Despite its impending arrival, it is unlikely to replace the current model released in 2022. The upcoming Chromecast 4K is expected to cost $50, maintaining the price point of its predecessor. While it may not experience a significant increase in RAM, there is speculation that Google will upgrade to a chip two generations ahead of the one currently used in the Chromecast 4K. This new chip could provide AV1 support, which was not available in the original Chromecast. The new Chromecast with Google TV is positioned to enhance Google’s competitiveness against streaming sticks from Roku and Amazon. Google TV’s unique features, such as built-in linear live offerings and seamless integration within a Google-led household, set it apart from its rivals. The launch date and availability details for the new Chromecast dongle remain unknown but are likely to be announced at Google I/O next month or later in the year when the Pixel 8 series launches.
