Now that speaks to it possibly being a new Google device.

I don't think is by Google.. look at the home icon on remote it's old styled along side other issues with manual etc

Chromecast 2? Maybe this little device can essentially turn any HDMI compatible TV into a smart TV with Android

If this has the same processor as the Fire TV Stick, how will compare speed-wise to Nexus Player? Does it make sense as a replacement?
