Move over, Chromecast. Google has a new streaming device that makes is easier to watch what you want, when you want — and it retails for under $100.

The Google TV Steamer, announced on Tuesday (Aug. 6), boasts two times the memory of Google Chromecast and 32GB of storage for faster app loading and easier navigation. Google TV Streamer also features AI capabilities, powered by Google’s Gemini technology, and an updated design that you’ll want to keep on display.

The device is available porcelain or hazel and retails for $99.99. It’s currently up for pre-order and will be released on Sept. 24, according to Amazon.  

It’s also slender enough for a minimalist set-up. If you’re in a small apartment, bedroom or dorm room, the Google TV Streamer will fit comfortably in tight spaces and you get access to over 700,000 movies and TV shows on Prime Video, Netflix, Max, Peacock, YouTube TV, Disney+, Apple TV+ and other streaming apps, in addition to live TV with 800+ free channels.

Thanks to Google’s Gemini, Google TV Streamer offers a full rundown of what to watch — from complete summaries to reviews and “season-by-season breakdowns.” Other features include a better processor, 4K HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and you can sync it to your Google Home app to control Google products such as the Nest Learning Thermostat, Nest Doorbell and thousands of other devices.

The device has a redesigned voice remote, improved ergonomics and a textured backing with an “optimized button layout to fit all sizes of hands,” per Google.

Plus, Google TV Streamer allows you to cast music from your smart phone and play it in on your TV.

Google TV Steamer works with WiFi but you can also hardwire it to an ethernet port. The device is available for pre-order online at the Google Store, Amazon and Best Buy.
