admin Two latest Google hardware devices have presented in FCC filings, and as 9to5Google notes, it looks like that they’re related to the new Android TV product that’s apparently been in the works for a while. If so, the filings could suggest that Google is finally set to release it soon.
Google was preparing a TV dongle codenamed “Sabrina” that would use Android TV and a traditional remote-driven UI, unlike smartphone-controlled Chromecast devices. One of the new FCC filings refers to an “Interactive Media Streaming Device” with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, while the other is for a “Wireless Device” with Bluetooth and a power cover, which 9to5Google speculates could be Sabrina and its remote control respectivel, according to the XDA Developers report stated in June.
Android TV now comes with your Google Assistant built in software. There’s the high-end Nvidia Shield range, which starts at $149.99, or the $59.99 Xiaomi Mi Box S that Google itself promoted a few years ago, but that’s about it. Xiaomi did also just release a $40-ish Mi TV Stick in India and Europe, which is presently the only way to get Android TV in that form factor.
Let’s see whether Google has something more compelling on the way. XDA Developers initially stated that the launch was planned for this summer, so there’s still time for Google to come up with its latest device.
