- A new, enhanced Google TV Streamer remote is now available separately for $20. It features a larger design, improved usability, and a customizable star button for quick access to favorite apps.
- The remote is compatible with both the 4K and HD Chromecasts with Google TV.
- Other notable changes include a microphone button replacing the Google Assistant button, repositioned volume controls, and the ability to make the remote ring if lost by asking Google.
Google just upgraded its streaming hardware big time with the new Google TV Streamer. However, it is more expensive than buying a Chromecast with Google TV. The latter has been around for a while, and if, like me, you don’t want to drop extra cash on the new device, you should at least check out its remote.
