- Google’s Android TV-based Chromecast is already on sale at stores like Home Depot and Walmart.
- The unannounced $ 50 dongle uses a rebranded platform, Google TV.
- It may be available immediately after Google’s September 30 incident.
Don’t mind retail leaks – Google’s Android TV powered Chromecast already seems to be available in stores, at least if you want to search for it. Edge And Reddit users have been able to buy “Sabrina” dongles at some Home Depot and Walmart shops before Google’s expected debut at its September 30 event.
Purchases confirm what few secrets remain for the devices. The new Chromecast is using Google TV, a rebranded version of Android TV and should be affordable at $ 50. The sale also confirmed Saberi’s codename – receipts described it as “Sabina-Abby Rock Candy”. Retailers did not yet have an official naming for the products.

Don’t expect to buy a device online yet. Google’s device does not appear in Internet systems, and at this time it only appears to be available in person. Seeing that there is an epidemic, you can wait instead of traveling from store to store to find someone.
The updated Chromecast will not be extremely powerful. It should have a normal quad-core chip, 2GB RAM, about 4.4GB storage. It’s powerful enough to play video in 4K with HDR, and a Reddit user confirmed that Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision work properly. It’s still a big upgrade – Chromecast Ultra started at a higher price without HDR, and it depends on your phone.
You should hear a lot about Android TV-based Chromecast at Google Events. Find this store if there is any indication, however, that hardware may be available shortly after the presentation.
