On the heels of the anticipated new Nexus devices, Google could also reveal a new Chromecast. According to a report from 9to5Google, the company is gearing up to release an all-new version of the streaming device, complete with better Wi-Fi connectivity, new home screen features, and Spotify support.

The new Chromecast will reportedly support 802.11ac, which would be an upgrade from the original's supported 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. Google has tried in the past to solve the problem of slow streaming over Wi-Fi by creating a hardwired ethernet adaptor for the Chromecast earlier this year. It sold out quickly after its release.

In conjunction with this, the device will have a feature called "Fast Play" that takes advantage of faster Wi-Fi to establish a connection more quickly and more seamlessly stream content. The new Chromecast may also support different types of content in the form of feeds on your home screen or the device's backdrop. While you can already customize the backdrop with your own photos and weather updates, you may be able to add social media feeds such as Twitter or Facebook to the home screen.

"Chromecast Audio" is another feature that will no doubt make audiophiles happy. The new Chromecast will reportedly be able to connect to external speakers via an auxiliary cord to support high-quality audio. It's no surprise then that Spotify is rumored to be releasing a Chromecase app that will debut with this updated device.

Images from the report show the new Chromecast as a disk-like dongle that actually looks smaller and slimmer than the original. While it's not much of a deviation, it does appear to come in multiple colors as well, including black, pink, and neon yellow.

While no official invites have gone out, we could see the new Chromecast debut at Google's rumored September 29 event alongside the release of its two new Nexus devices.
