IT Home reported on January 10 that Google will launch its Pixel Tablet tablet at the CES 2024 exhibitiontap to castfeatures, the goal is to make the Pixel Tablet a hubFor all your smart home and** needs.
When a user uses a compatible Pixel phone and is near the Pixel tablet, they can switch their phone's audio to the tablet. The feature is available for Spotify and YouTube Music.
Google says the Tap to Cast feature relies on a range of technologies such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth Low Energy, and Wi-Fi for the Pixel 6 Pro and later.
This new trick is exactly the same as Apple's "handoff" feature. Handoff lets iPhone users transfer** to HomePod speakers. Now, Pixel users can get similar benefits. Tap to Cast will be available later this year. Eventually, it may be extended to the Nest smart display.
IT Home learned from the report that Google has also upgraded Chromecast, and Google said that the 2024 **LG TV already has a built-in Chromecast, and users can cast content from the app directly to more big screens.
Google has also partnered with TikTok to develop Screen Cast, a virus** app that now supports screen casting to Chromecast devices, allowing users to stream funny pet clips from their phones to their living room TVs.
Fast Pair enables fast Bluetooth pairing by detecting nearby devices. Later in 2024, more Google TVs will receive Fast Pair support.
