Multiple outlets report that Google is working on a new version of its Google TV Streamer. The devices, which are designed to improve smart-TV functionality, are reportedly due for an update after the current model has been on the market for more than two years.
Details across reports focus on potential changes to the remote and control experience. TechRadar and Android Authority both suggest the next Google TV Streamer could add hands-free control features, drawing comparisons to Apple’s approach to similar capabilities. Droid Life frames the update as “big upgrades” relative to the existing streamer’s pill-shaped design and its role as a simpler replacement for televisions with less capable smart software.
None of the sources provide confirmed specifications or an official release date. The reports are based on rumors rather than confirmed announcements, and outlets differ mainly in how they describe the scope of the improvements while aligning on the likelihood of an upgrade to control features.
