Google unveiled the Google TV Streamer, a next-generation streaming device that promises a personalized entertainment and smart home experience.

Replacing the Chromecast, the Google TV Streamer boasts a faster processor, more storage, and a focus on user convenience.

The Google TV Streamer integrates seamlessly with Google TV, offering access to over 700,000 movies and shows across popular streaming services like YouTube TV, Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV. But Google TV Streamer goes beyond just content access. It utilizes Google AI to curate personalized recommendations across all subscriptions, eliminating the need to jump between apps.

“Streaming has exploded in popularity, and finding what to watch can feel overwhelming,” says Christina Cao, Product Manager at Google Nest. “Google TV Streamer uses AI to make recommendations based on your preferences, so you can spend less time browsing and more time enjoying great entertainment.”

Gemini technology, a recent Google innovation, takes personalization a step further. With Gemini, users can access in-depth summaries, reviews, and season-by-season breakdowns, making it easier to find the perfect show or movie.

The Google TV Streamer delivers premium streaming quality with 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos support. This translates to crisp visuals, immersive sound, and a truly cinematic experience at home. Whether you’re connecting via Wi-Fi or the built-in ethernet port, the Google TV Streamer is designed for smooth navigation and buffer-free streaming.

The Google TV Streamer doubles as a smart home hub, featuring built-in support for Matter, the new smart home connectivity standard. This allows for faster and more reliable connections between smart home devices like locks, thermostats, and lights. Additionally, the Google Home panel brings smart home controls directly to the TV screen, allowing users to adjust lights, see who’s at the door, or control the thermostat without leaving the couch.

The Google TV Streamer comes in two stylish colors – Porcelain and Hazel (exclusive to the Google Store). Its low-profile design allows for discreet placement near your TV, while still providing access to the ethernet port.

Based on user feedback, Google has redesigned the voice remote for improved ergonomics and ease of use. The remote features a textured back for better grip, optimized button layout, and a customizable button that can be programmed to launch favorite apps or access the Google Home panel with a single click.

The Google TV Streamer is available for pre-order today for $99.99 and will hit stores on September 24th. It can be purchased from the Google Store and other major retailers.
