Google has been rumored to be working on a Chromecast Ultra successor for months. Recently, we learned that the company was working on one with Android TV support, as well as a dedicated remote. The folks over at XDA Developers provide further proof of its existence by sharing marketing renders for Google’s upcoming streaming device and remote.

The biggest highlight will, however, have to be the dedicated remote. The Chromecast devices today require users to pair the dongle to the Google Home app and use their phones to control the device. This will change with Sabrina’s remote control, pictured below. It comes in a clean white colorway with a black color Google Assistant button.
XDA also got its hands on a pre-release firmware build for this streaming device. The same is from October last year, around the same time as the Pixel 4 series launch. The report further gives us a quick look at the new content-focused Android TV, similar to Xiaomi’s Patchwall UI with personalized recommendations, Movies, Apps, and other tabs on top.
