Google may already be making another Chromecast with Google TV
claim the company is already developing a new Chromecast with Google TV. Documentation and code sleuthing have reportedly revealed the codename"Boreal," whileThe purported leak doesn't mention specifications, although newer processing power with broader video support might be necessary.Android TV will require AV1 video format support after March 31st, and that's conspicuously absent on the existing Chromecast with Google TV.
Provided the leak is accurate, the question is whether or not this is a straightforward replacement for the existing Chromecast or a higher-powered separate model. Given that the existing Chromecast already supports 4K HDR, though, a replacement seems more likely. It's clear any changes would be substantial enough to warrant a new internal nickname — Google doesn't typically hand out names for minor revisions.
