With the Chromecast with Google TV in 2020, Google pivoted in the opposite direction with a much more traditional, lean-back entertainment experience. Casting took a backseat to carousels of content recommendations, and native apps returned.
The Google TV Streamer is designed to build on that strategy by infusing Gemini AI smarts into the software. It'll put smart home controls right on your TV screen. 'Blazingly fast,' says Shalini Govil-Pai, the VP and GM of Google TV.
Google decided to focus on a higher-end device, viewing the Nvidia Shield as a benchmark for performance. 'The Nvidia Shield was our gold tier price point as well as gold tier performance, and this is really what it's going to be with our Google TV Streamer.'
