Hold onto your streaming remotes! Google is reportedly gearing up to replace its 2020 Chromecast with Google TV model. A new 4K dongle could be unveiled as early as Google I/O 2024 in May.
What to Expect
- Same Affordable Price: Sources say the new Chromecast will stick with the budget-friendly $49.99 price tag.
- Remote Upgrade? A leaked video suggests a redesigned remote with more buttons, including a possible customizable “magic button” for quick app launching or input switching.
- Under the Hood: A more powerful Amlogic S905X5 processor could replace the older chip, boosting speed and efficiency.
- Fingers Crossed: Let’s hope Google also bumps up the storage and RAM from the current model.

The current Chromecast with Google TV is solid, but it’s starting to show its age. A refresh with better performance and a more feature-rich remote would be a welcome update for anyone looking to enhance their streaming setup without breaking the bank.
Stay Tuned! Keep your eyes peeled for updates and a possible launch at Google I/O 2024.
