If you can’t decide what to watch on TV, or can’t remember where to find your favorite show, sporting event or movie, there’s a new solution: Google Streamer TV 4K.
This newly announced Google device connects to your TV and offers tons of smart features thanks to the Android TV operating system, so it’s compatible with all the popular video and music streaming services you love. The latest Google Gemini AI tools provide personalized recommendations on what to watch and help you navigate on-screen menus manually or with voice commands.
Best of all, unlike Google’s older Chromecast devices, the new Streamer 4K is also a full-fledged smart speaker that puts Google Assistant at your disposal. So using voice commands or an on-screen smart home hub, you can control any compatible smart home equipment in your house – like smart lights, a smart thermostat, a video doorbell, smart locks and smart appliances.
And if you manage your photos with Google Photos, the Google Streamer TV 4K device can display them on your TV as an AI-powered, animated screensaver.
You can pre-order the Google Streamer TV 4K device right now from Amazon or Best Buy for $100. It starts shipping on September 24. The required HDMI cable and optional Ethernet cable (to connect the device to your home internet without using Wi-Fi) are sold separately.
