The new Chromecast reveals its price and the possible death of Android TV

One of the most anticipated devices of the year in Spain is the successor to Google’s Chromecast, a device that promises a complete paradigm shift when it comes to the range of devices from streaming inside the company.

We have known a lot about this device in recent months, such as its code name (Sabrina), which would be the first device in its range to include a remote control and a new version of Android TV, in addition to having already been certified by the FCC, which which marked his presentation date as close. Today we get new clues about its price and what could be its final name.

Sabrina would end up calling herself “Chromecast with Google TV” and would have a great price

Each new piece of information that we know about the successor of the Chromecast leads us to a closer launch, and that is that although it was already certified by the FCC, it is now beginning to be listed by some US stores, which would already be preparing to sell said devices. .

These listings have revealed what could be the commercial name of this device, and it would finally be called Chromecast with Google TV. There were rumors about the end of the Chromecast brand for this launch, but they would have ultimately decided that the Chromecast brand has too much commercial traction to abandon it. On a personal level, I thought he would end up calling himself Nest TV seeing that Google is bringing all its home devices to this brand.

The name of Google TV within the product is also shocking, since it would mean a complete change in Android TV just as Android Wear disappeared a few years ago to become Wear OS. There were already rumors and the objective would be the same, that users do not consider the system as exclusive for Android users, no matter how much Android will continue to have inside.
