Google unveiled the new Chromecast remote for Google TV and it has several buttons, including ones for YouTube and Netflix.
The new Chromecast Google TV remote can be used to control the volume, switch inputs, play music, and get answers on-screen. You can also use your phone as a virtual remote control.
According to reports, the Android TV 14 Beta may have shown off the upcoming Chromecast control for Google TV. Recently, the operating system became live and is now visible in the Android Studio emulator.

The Chromecast with Google TV (HD) is one of the first to ship with Android 12 preloaded. It has a Quick Connect mode for Wi-Fi, which lets you join Wi-Fi networks by scanning a QR code from your smartphone.

On the left side, there are three more buttons, which could be for "home", "mute", and for app shortcuts. There also appears to be a new star-shaped button.

It was observed that the new button displays a star icon at the remote's bottom. The system files for this icon are named "magic." This is one of the few details now included in the file, although it is pretty obvious that the custom shortcut actually first appeared in 2021. Although the device has supposedly been in the works for a while, there is still no concrete indication of it in the Android 14 building stage. When the new remote would arrive is not yet known.Leave a Reply
