The company&#8217;s latest remote brings the same basic button layout as the default Google TV remote, but with a photovoltaic panel at the bottom which allows for self-charging of the battery.<\/p>\n<p>The panel uses light sources to convert that energy into electricity that can charge the battery within the remote.  The technology being used here is provided by Exeger, but isn&#8217;t really a new idea in the TV industry.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, we&#8217;ve seen self-charging remotes from brands such as Samsung \u2013 and Amazon is expected to be working on integrating the technology into its next Fire TV remote \u2013 but we&#8217;ve not yet seen it on Google TV devices. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, there&#8217;s no clear timeline for <em>when<\/em> this self-charging remote might actually launch with a Google TV product.  The G10 remote design from TW has launched quite widely on streaming boxes and dongles launched with Android TV and Google TV over the past year, but the G20 design is rarely seen.<\/p>\n<p>But as competition in the streaming space continues to heat up, some brands might be interested in using this self-charging remote, we just don&#8217;t expect it to become the standard option for all devices anytime soon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-more-on-google-tv\">More on GoogleTV:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> more.<\/p>\n<p><!-- post ad --><\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><i>Check out 9to5Google on YouTube for more news:<\/i><\/p>\n<p><!-- youtube embed --><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Essential apps for your Android phone for 2023!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U4t_ixW9Cc4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Google TV starts a new year with upcoming releases from TCL, Hisense, and others, a new remote option is also on the horizon with a self-charging battery.
