Google working on new Amazon Fire TV stick rival: Report

Google has Chromecast to counter Amazon Fire TV Stick but the device is now facing much more competition from Amazon and other brands like Apple to provide a more streamlined viewing experience. It seems the company has an ace under its sleeve. A new device codenamed ‘Sabrina’ has been leaked multiple times.

A recent leak in the firmware, spotted by XDA Developers has provided more information about the casting device. The gadget is expected to provide a complete Android TV experience along with a new remote to access the interface. Earlier versions of the Chromecast did not provide a remote and the user had to completely rely on their smartphones to move through the Chromecast interface.

The latest leaks suggest that the firmware shows support for 4K streaming at 60fps and support for HDR and Dolby Vision. The casting device will be powered by an Amlogic S905X2 chipset which will be paired with 2GB of RAM.
