It looks like Google is bringing the magic of your favorite smartphone to the big screen with a new Google TV Streamer in the pipeline. And boy, does it sound promising! The Google TV Streamer, recently spotted in the wild, promises to bring a sprinkle of Pixel 9 magic straight to your living room.

Last week, our friends at 9to5Google gave us a first look at the sleek, new device. Now, we’ve got some juicy details to share. Ready to geek out on some specs? Here we go!

First off, the Google TV Streamer is packing some serious radio action. Think Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n, Wi-Fi 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac, and Thread. Yes, you heard that right – Thread. Just like the Pixel 9 series, this bad boy will pack the same tech that’ll make it a whiz at controlling smart devices. Imagine telling your TV to dim the lights, adjust the thermostat, and cue up your favorite Netflix show – all with a simple voice command. Yep, with Thread, the Google TV Streamer is poised to become the conductor of your home symphony.

While we’re on the subject of hardware, the Google TV Streamer is shaping up to be a compact powerhouse. Early whispers suggest it might sport a couple of USB-C ports and an Ethernet connection, making it a versatile little gadget. No word on UWB yet, which would’ve been sweet for that tap-to-cast feature, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for future updates.

Intriguingly, the device seems to have made a secret appearance at the FCC under a different name. But don’t worry, the clues point directly to Google. It’s like a thrilling game of detective, and we can’t wait to see what Google has up its sleeve.
