Chromecast with Google TV (4K) may finally get a successor


The current model is going on four years old and desperately needs a refresh.

The company may address the streaming dongle's performance woes with a new chip offering more RAM or storage and a potential OS upgrade. According to a report from 9to5Google, a source confirmed that a Chromecast with Google TV 4K successor is in development, and the company is gearing up for a launch. Prior reports indicated that Google was working on an Android-equipped Chromecast device, but it wasn't known for certain what functionality or price point it would target.
