It was reported earlier Monday that Google's future streaming machine is a full makeover of their dongle design of the Chromecast in favor of a set-top box similar to the Apple TV device. As you can see in our cover graphic above, the new device branded the "Google TV Streamer" has a clean new look without additional features or ports beyond a power cord and an HDMI cable. 

The 9to5Google report describes the unit as having "a pill-shaped base, with the entire thing vaguely looking like a miniature Pixel Tablet Charging Speaker Dock. Two cables — presumably power and HDMI — protrude from the back. Overall, it should have a minimal (height) presence underneath your television.

Further, the remote looks similar, but is longer. After the D-Pad, you have back and home buttons on the first row. The voice input key is no longer Google Assistant-branded with a generic microphone used instead in a sign of the times. It has a raised bump since the splash of color is used for the home key.
