Google is reportedly rebranding Android TV with rumoured 'Chromecast with Google TV' dongle

For the past few months, we've been referring to Google's rumoured new Android TV dongle by its codename Sabrina. Now, new leaks share the possible official name of the device and its price. Artem Russakovskii of Android Police discovered a listing on Target's retail system that calls the dongle "Google Chromecast with Google TV," and it's reportedly priced at US$50 (around CA$66).

The rebranding of Android TV to Google TV has been reported by 9to5Google back in May, with a new user interface supposedly heading its way, too. Google Chromecast with Google TV will reportedly be available in the colours Rock Candy, Summer Melon, and Summer Blue. Of course, the final pricing and model name can be entirely different when Google launches the device. But based on leaks, the dongle will come with a remote control, a Google Assistant button, and a UI focused on apps and services.

Google's 'Sabrina' Android TV dongle spotted on Canadian database

It has been rumoured that Google is developing a new Android TV dongle with the codename Sabrina. It was recently spotted on the US' FCC site. And now, it's been seen on Canada's certification site, suggesting the launch is imminent. The devices with codenames GZRNL and G9N9N are said to be the TV dongle and possibly its remote control, respectively.

An earlier leak reports the TV dongle will run on an Amlogic S905X2 processor, which uses four ARM Cortex-A53 cores and an ARM Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. It will supposedly support up to 4K videos, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision standards. It is also expected to support Auto Low-Latency Mode and Stadia gaming.
