Google TV Streamer (4K) review

Google TV Streamer is the strongest Android-based box we compared. Google lists 4GB of memory, 32GB of storage, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.1, and Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos support, and says the processor is 22% faster than the device it replaced. The Google TV interface collects shows from all your services with personalized suggestions, and Gemini for TV now handles natural requests such as finding something to watch. A button on the streamer makes a lost remote ring, and the remote has a button to open the home panel or switch inputs. It doubles as a Matter hub with Thread built in. There are trade-offs. Wi-Fi is 802.11ac, the HDMI 2.1 cable it requires is sold separately, and at $149.99 it costs well over twice as much as Walmart's Onn 4K Pro, which also runs Google TV with Gemini. Choose it for the extra memory, gigabit wired networking and Google's own support.
