So long, Chromecast: Google TV Streamer to launch with these new features

Doubling as a smart home hub, the new streaming device comes with Google TV Freeplay and a Sports Page. You can pre-order it now and buy it tomorrow.

GoogleThe new Google TV Streamer reinvents the idea of Google's Chromecast, going from a dongle that lives on the back or side of your television to a tabletop device that will sit proudly on display. When Google announced the new TV streaming device, the company explained it would double as a smart home hub, which is partly why it looks so different and more hub-like than the Chromecast. Google also announced it's expanding its list of partner brands, including art TVs from Hisense and TCLs, smart monitors from Asus, and Projectors by Epson, XGIMI, Vankyo, and Hisense Laser TV.
