The CC was a revolutionary product and Google has sold millions of units worldwide. In 2020 it is an interesting device, but with limited functions and that needs a good renovation. This year Google will not launch a new Chromecast, but a much more versatile product than it has been talking about for a few weeks. The name is unknown, but it will be similar, in design, to the latest Chromecast released by the company. This device is what many users have been asking Google for years.
A vitamin Chromecast with Android TV and remote control
The biggest drawback of Chromecast is that it can only be used with a mobile connected to the Wi-Fi network. It is not a separate device, but an accessory of your mobile to be able to watch content on television. Now Google changes the rules of the game with a completely independent device that runs Android TV inside it and has a remote control to control it. Yes, Google is going to launch something similar to the Amazon Fire Stick or the thousands of Android TVs on the market.
This device is not yet official, but two key images that reveal its design have already been leaked. The body of the device is very similar to the latest Chromecast from the company and will be available in various colors. It seems slightly larger than a Chromecast Ultra, although this is not too important, as the device will always be behind your TV.
The most important thing about this new product is that it includes a remote control to be controlled. It can be done from the mobile, but also independently. This remote has a pad to navigate, several buttons to control playback and also direct access to Google Assistant.
It is a simple command with which to control the entire interface, which will be based on Android. You can install applications such as Netflix or Amazon Video to play content, all without having to share your content on your mobile. You can also install social networking applications or browsers, even games.
It is expected that Google will launch this device in the near future and that it will not differentiate between FullHD and 4K versions. Of course, Google could sell two versions with different storages. Unlike Chromecast, this device does need an internal memory chip to store all the content of applications and files.
