The rumored ‘Google TV Streamer’ might fall short at competing with the Apple TV

The specs, which may have been leaked in an FCC filing, don’t match a premium device.

There also isn’t ultra-wideband (UWB) support mentioned, which would prevent the Google TV Streamer from working with software features like Tap to Cast. That helps the Apple TV 4K play games, deliver solid software experiences, and support plenty of video and audio formats. Plus, the omission of modern Wi-Fi specifications and UWB support makes me wonder what kind of price point the Google TV Streamer will target.
