Google’s Next Streaming Player Moves Away from Chromecast Design

• Google is shifting from the HDMI dongle design to a more traditional set-top box for its streaming devices.
• The new product, named 'Google TV Streamer,' has been revealed through images published by 9to5Google.
• The device features a slanted top and aligns with Google's recent hardware aesthetics, while the remote is longer with a volume rocker on the face.
• The Google TV Streamer is expected to debut at the August 13th hardware event, alongside other products like the Pixel 9 series and Pixel Watch 3.
• This new device could potentially be a strong competitor to the Apple TV 4K, addressing the performance gaps left by the Chromecast with Google TV.
