Superior performance and design
The Google TV Streamer is equipped with a 22% faster processor and double the RAM compared to its predecessor. With 32 GB of internal memory, it offers enough space for numerous apps and content.
The sleek design in the color Porcelain blends seamlessly into any living room while offering versatile connection options for smart home devices. The voice remote control has also been optimized and, according to Google, is now more ergonomic and fits even better in the hand thanks to the non-slip back and optimized button arrangement.
The TV streamer displays content in 4K UHD resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) including HDR with Dolby Vision. Dolby Atmos-compatible speakers can be connected to achieve 3D surround sound.
Smart Home integration
Thanks to Matter support and an integrated Thread Border Router, the Google TV Streamer is a central point of contact for all smart home devices. Users can use the remote control to control their Google Home panel, call up camera feeds and operate various devices such as lights, temperature and blinds. The remote control has been redesigned and can be easily found by voice command if it has been misplaced.
Extended streaming functions
The Google TV Streamer offers access to thousands of movies and series on platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video. With personalized recommendations and the option to save content to a watch list, the streaming experience can be customized. In addition, the inactive mode can turn the TV into a work of art by displaying photos from Google Photos.
Conclusion
The Google TV Streamer is a versatile and powerful device that is ideal for both entertainment and controlling smart home devices. With a price of €119, it will be available from September 24 in the Google Store as well as from Amazon, MediaMarkt and Saturn.
