Google Chromecast with Google TV remote

Product and brand overview

The pictured item is the official voice remote supplied with Google’s Chromecast with Google TV / Google TV Streamer devices. It’s a dedicated TV-streaming device remote with a circular D‑pad, Google Assistant (voice) button, dedicated YouTube and Netflix shortcut buttons, volume control and power. The remote is sold as part of Google’s Chromecast with Google TV product family.

Manufacturing and production

Chromecast hardware and its remotes are manufactured through contract electronics partners in Asia. Historically the bulk of production and final assembly has been carried out in China, while Google has also shifted some manufacturing and assembly to other regional facilities (notably Vietnam and, in some listings, Thailand) depending on production batches and supply‑chain strategy. As a result, units in market may carry different "Made in" markings depending on where that particular batch was assembled.

Brand origin and ownership

The Google brand and Chromecast product line originate from Google LLC, which was founded in the United States. Since Google reorganized in 2015, Alphabet Inc. is the ultimate parent company. Google LLC continues to design and market the Chromecast hardware and the remote, while Alphabet Inc. is the corporate owner headquartered in the United States.

Practical notes

If you need a definitive country of manufacture for a specific remote, check the "Made in" or assembly label on the product packaging or the device itself—final assembly location can vary by production run and region. The remote pictured matches the official Google Chromecast / Google TV voice remote design, including the two dedicated streaming-service buttons and the Assistant (mic) control.
