Anticipation is high for the upcoming release of an all-new Chromecast with Google TV, exciting news for tech enthusiasts!
Rumors have been circulating about this new model for some time now, with recent hints such as a mysterious device spotted on the Google Home App, fueling the excitement among fans.
Currently, there are two versions of the “CCWGTV,” including the original 4K device from 2020 and a 1080p version launched in 2022. Fans have been eagerly awaiting an upgrade, and it seems that their wishes will soon be granted with an imminent release as reported by an undisclosed source to 9to5Google.
The original 4K model was the first to run on the Google TV Operating System and featured specs like a 1.9 GHz quad-core ARM, 2 GB RAM, and a modest 4 GB of internal storage.
An update later addressed the limited storage concern raised by users but with barely enough space for all their favorite apps, leaving room for improvement, which we hope will be tackled in the 2024 release.
Reports suggest that the upcoming release will also be a 4K model, boasting a new remote design and potential compatibility with Android 14 following Google’s move away from Android TV 13 in 2023.
The rumored new remote is said to relocate the volume buttons to the front and possibly introduce a customizable shortcut button, features that many users are excited about.
Though an official release date is yet to be announced, many believe that the anticipated unveiling might happen during the Google I/O Conference scheduled for May 14th, 2024.
This update was originally featured on 9to5Google.
