Google’s Chromecasts have been revolutionising the way we share broadcasts on our television screen and over time the Mountain View company has introduced new features to improve the user experience. Apparently, it has been a long time since it remodeled its current device, so the launch of a new model is predicted that will apparently have similar characteristics, but that there will be a radical change in its functions .
Good news for technology lovers and especially for those who usually use the Google device to be able to see all the content they have saved on their mobile phone and project it on the big screen. On this occasion, a leak has been detected indicating that a new version of Chromecast is on the way and will land imminently.
The latest model dates back to 2020, so it is not surprising that Google begins to show signs of its next launch, which is supposed to bring exciting new features, reaching a new design and functions that will further immerse the interaction with the peripheral. . Below, we detail all the additions and the possible release date of the new Chromecast 4K .
Price and possible release date
Like any rumor, you always have to take it with a grain of salt. This time, the 9to5Google portal has echoed that the current Chromecast 4K with Google TV will have a review this very 2024. And the best of all is that its release on the market could be imminent, since it is speculated that it will be presented in the Google I/O 2024 conference , which will take place on May 14 . If so, it would arrive 4 years after its predecessor and two years after its younger brother, the HD model, which is positioned as the best-selling globally.
It is also said that this new device will have the same price, 69.99 euros , so we may see a reduction in the model that is currently on the market or that it may simply be replaced to accommodate its new update. . However, there is little time left to find out.
Remote control changes
But one of the most striking aspects is that it will have a new, more modern remote control with more immersive functions. As indicated in the leaked information, a multimedia document on Android 14 shown last year reflected the appearance of a new controller with a design very similar to the current one, although housing more buttons on its chassis.
One of those buttons seems to be the most revolutionary and would be located at the bottom of the controller. It is a magic button with a star icon that users could use to customize various actions, such as assigning their favorite application to open with a single touch, as if it were a shortcut. There have also been other changes to the button placement, such as a larger volume control that is located on the right side.
As for the Chromecast 4K device, improvements can be seen in its internal components , with a more powerful and efficient chip, an increase in RAM and storage, as well as updates to its operating system to adapt it to the one currently available on mobile phones. Google, Android 14.
