In recent weeks, we've heard rumors of a new streaming device from Google that could come with its own remote, making the proposal much more attractive than the Chromecasts already released.
If we stop to think about it, it's about time, since competitors like the Amazon Fire Stick have been on the market for a long time and their differential is the remote control, allowing it to work without the need to send commands via smartphone or another secondary device.
Now, developers at the XDA forum have surfaced what appears to be the official image of Google's upcoming streaming device, which will be based on the Android TV platform and bear the codename Sabrina.
Google's new streaming device is slightly larger than chromecast and will bring a basic enough remote to make the device standalone.
The image shows the new device in 3 different colors, black, white and light pink similar to what we saw on the Google Pixel 3.
There is information that the device will have an Amlogic chip and will also bring Dolby Vision support. Rumors also say that its price should be around US$69, this information is somewhat contradictory, since the Chromecast Ultra is currently sold at this price, so I risk that the price will be a little higher than that. Unfortunately we don't have details on a possible release date.
As for the remote control, it has a minimalist design, with rounded buttons, although we only see the top part in the leaked images. The upcoming streaming device may also arrive under the Nest brand and may also introduce some interface changes, such as YouTube TV integration in the Live section, a new Google Assistant interface, and support for Nest home security camera and doorbell alerts. .
