Quick guide
Earlier this week, the design and preliminary specifications of the Google TV player were revealed. The device arrived at the FCC on Friday, but instead of appearing under the name of a typical Google account, it was presented with the Quanta Computer logo (HFS-GRS6B). The GRS6B model complies with Google's naming conventions, with an FCC ID label laser-etched on the bottom of the device and illustrations that match other first-party products. The device is classified as a "wireless device", connects to the TV via HDMI, and may be equipped with USB-C and Ethernet ports. Tests show support for both "Full Connected Mode" and Standalone Mode, but it's unclear if there's a second USB-C port. The device runs Android and supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and 5GHz, as well as Thread wireless capabilities, enabling direct communication with compatible smart home devices.
Google TV player design and specifications
Earlier this week, we revealed the design of the Google TV player, and now some of its preliminary specifications also seem to be surfacing. According to the report, the Google TV player arrived at the FCC on Friday, but did not appear under the name of a typical Google account (A4R). Instead, it appears under the Quanta Computer logo (HFS-GRS6B), a company that previously made the Pixelbook, Pixel Slate, and Pixelbook Go.
Model identification and characteristics
The GRS6B model name matches Google's standard naming convention, which starts with a "G" followed by four alphanumeric characters. It's worth noting that there is no E-Label on the device; The FCC ID label is "laser etched on the bottom of the device" and the illustration matches other first-party products. The device is often categorized as a "wireless device", and the test setup involves connecting it to a TV via an HDMI cable, while also depicting Ethernet and USB cables. This could imply that the Google TV player will come with USB-C and Ethernet ports.
Connectivity & Functionality
In terms of connectivity, there is a mention that "Full connection mode (Ethernet port connected to WLAN AP and HDMI port connected to TV) as well as standalone mode have been verified." However, it's unclear if there will be a second USB-C port or if Google will use the round plug that has recently been adopted in the company's smart home devices. The device runs on Android, as evidenced by the use of "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) in testing. Regarding wireless capability, the device supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n, Wi-Fi 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac, and Thread. Similar to the Thread radio seen in the Pixel 9 series, this will allow the Google TV player to communicate directly with compatible smart home devices.
