Chromecast with Google TV is finally set to get an Android 12 update, and the new Chromecast (HD) gives us an early look at what the platform will bring to Google’s big-screen experience.

As we’ve said before, system updates aren’t a major source of new features or changes for Google TV and Android TV.

Still, there are a good number of new features that come with Android 12 for Chromecast with Google TV, and they’re live first on the Chromecast with Google TV (HD), which ships with the update installed.

While this Android 12 feature probably won’t be noticed for its camera half on Chromecast with Google TV, it’s definitely a welcome change for showing microphone access.

Another option you’ll find in Google TV 12 on Chromecast is text scaling.

You’ll also find a new network setting in Google TV 12 on Chromecast called “Quick Connect.” As Google confirmed to us last year, this is designed to make it easier to connect your Android TV device (in this case, a Chromecast) to Wi-Fi from your smartphone.

This change is very likely exclusive to the Chromecast with Google TV (HD), but we found that TikTok was one of Google’s included apps on the device?

So that’s everything new in Android 12 for the Chromecast with Google TV, but when will the update be coming to the 4K model.

Right now, there’s no confirmed timeline for when Chromecast with Google TV (4K) will get its Android 12 update, but it should arrive in the not-too-distant future via a traditional OTA upgrade.

When will that update come to Google TV.

Early hands-on time with Android TV 13 revealed there’s not much new, and Google has yet to release the final version of the update as of late-September 2022.
