So far, Google has a handful of Chromecast devices that are available for purchase now. While devices cover a nice range of quality and affordability, it appears that Google may be planning on adding another sibling to the line. According to a new report, a mysterious Chromecast with Google TV device was spotted in the Google Home app.
It’s important to note that this comes to us from an APK deep dive. As such, you’re going to want to take this news cautiously. There was code discovered within the Google Home app which hints at this device. However, this device has not been officially announced. So, at any point, Google could change or cancel this device.
A mysterious Chromecast with Google TV device was spotted
Chromecast dongles are some of the best options for streaming devices. They offer one of the best TV operating systems, a wide range of resolutions, and some affordable prices. Currently, there are two models available. The HD version caps out at 1080p resolution, and that one costs $29.99. There’s a 4K model, and that costs $49.99.

It appears that Google wants to add even more models to its roster. In an APK deep dive performed by 9To5Google, it appears that Google references another model in the code of the Google Home app. The model is referred to as “YTD.” This model appears right along with both the HD and 4K models of the Chromecast. So, this leads one to believe that this is also going to be another Chromecast With Google TV device. At this point, we are not 100% sure. Nothing in the code refers to it as a Chromecast with Google TV dongle. So, we will just have to wait and see.
Last year, we saw something similar. There was a device referred to as “YTC” within the code. However, that device never came to fruition. So, it’s clear that Google wants to bring more Chromecast devices to the market, and more could be in production. We’re just going to have to wait to see what the company launches.
