The new Google TV Streamer is a major shake-up of the tech giant's TV streaming hardware. It replaces the Chromecast series and takes on boxes like Apple TV 4K with a mix of Gemini-powered AI smarts and integration with other Google services like Google Photos and Google Home.
While dongles like the Chromecast with Google TV 4K, which launched way back in September 2020, were designed to be cheap and largely invisible, the Google TV Streamer takes a different route. At $99 / £99 / AU$159, it's still relatively affordable, but costs twice as much as a Chromecast.
