A television with Android TV allows you to stream thanks to the built-in Chromecast function, and you can find a lot of custom apps in the Google Play Store. With its Chromecast with Google TV, Google already launched a stick to make televisions smarter, and Anker is now also doing it with the 4K Nebula Streaming Dongle, 9To5Google knows that.

You connect the dongle via the HDMI port of your television, and there is also a micro USB port with which you can connect the device to the mains. Then you use the remote control to navigate through the interface of Android TV 10. You will find buttons there to easily open the most popular streaming services: YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+. There is also a button with which you can start the Google Assistant.

If you play a movie or series, you can do that in a 4K resolution. Anker’s dongle also supports HDR and Dolby Digital Plus audio. We also get very brief information about the specifications of this TV accessory, as it works with 2 GB RAM and 8 GB storage. It is not known which chipset Anker uses.
