A new Google wireless device has appeared on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website. It is rumored to be a low-end Chromecast HD streaming device with a 60Hz refresh rate. The FCC listing could indicate an imminent launch for the device with model number G454V.
As per the FCC listing, the new Google
device features Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. Although there are scant
details about the new Google hardware, some points are very visible. It is
rumored that the new Chromecast HD will have a 1080p resolution. It also offers
video streaming capability and different operating modes. The device will also
have a USB cable as a charging accessory. Bandwidth speeds are up to 3Mbps
while multiple WLAN functions are supported.
The
previous naming convention for Google devices points in the direction of the
Chromecast HD with Google TV. This is further evidenced by the 1080p resolution
and 60Hz refresh rate of the device. The device was manufactured in Thailand
and is expected to be priced lower than the 4K resolution Chromecast with
Google TV. There are no specifics yet from Google on the release date and
pricing for the rumored Chromecast HD with Google TV.
