Google Chromecast 2 review: does the new Chromecast deliver?
The original Chromecast is a nifty little device that let you wirelessly 'cast' what's on the screen of your smartphone, tablet or laptop to your monitor or TV. You simply connect the HDMI dongle to your TV and pair it with your portable device via a Wi-Fi connection.- Reliable streaming
- Easy setup and operation
- Greatly improved app
- No separate interface
- No 4K streaming
Chromecast 2 review: Make any TV smart, effortlessly
When Google launched the first Chromecast back in 2013, we quickly picked up the affordable HDMI dongle for several friends and family members. After all, it's an inexpensive and incredibly handy way to wirelessly "cast" content to a TV and access smart apps (even if the TV isn't smart), and...- Inexpensive
- improved design
- streams content from Netflix
- YouTube
- Spotify
- HBO Now and other popular apps from your mobile device
- 5GHz Wi-Fi compatibility
- updated Chromecast app with universal search
- Still no interface or dedicated remote (if that bothers you)
- support for 1080p rather than 4K
- requires an Android or iOS device for setup
- and can only stream Amazon videos from a PC
Chromecast review
With better Wi-Fi and far better performance, Chromecast 2 has ousted the original as one of our favorite devices of all time.
Along with the new flagship Nexus smartphones, the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X , Google also unveiled an updated version of the Chromecast HDMI dongle, boasting a new look, multiple color options, and of course, faster hardware and enhancements on the software side of things.
- Chromecast (2015): Though somewhat odd
- the design makes it easier to tuck back behind the television Faster performance
- though marginally compared to original New application is a hub for all compatible media applications Still really easy to use - just hit the button for Chromecast Enhanced...
- Chromecast (2015): A few missing applications for media - mainly
- Amazon Prime Games library is still bare
- needs to prove itself for gaming Chromecast Audio: Niche product - not an essential unless its functionality is specifically searched for Audio quality is pretty standard
- not really above...
Chromecast: recensione e videorecensione della chiavetta HDMI Google
Chromecast forse inizialmente è una periferica difficile da capire, ma per ora riesce a fare poche cose ma riesce a gestirle egregiamente. Questa chiavetta HDMI, aiutata anche da un prezzo eccezionale, potrà essere una grande risorsa anche in futuro, ma questo dipenderà molto dagli sviluppatori.
Google Chromecast review
It's surprisingly difficult to put a web browser on TV. It's difficult for regular people - the best option is often just plugging in a laptop - and it's been ridiculously difficult for the tech...- Inexpensive and simple
- Supported apps work well
- Chrome tab casting is very useful
- App support limited to Netflix
- YouTube
- and Google Play
- Tab casting video drops frames
- No central playback controls
Google announced its Chromecast media streaming device last week and immediately caused quite a stir amongst technology enthusiasts. Not only was the Chromecast seemingly easy to use, but its low $35 price point made it attainable by virtually anyone.

Simple, effective, and superb value, this is how smart TV should be done
Google Chromecast review (2015): not much new, but still worth $35
For just $35, you get a full-fledged media streamer that won't take up much space in your home entertainment center. It's simple to setup, and the new Chromecast app sweetens the deal even further with how easy it is to find new content.- Inexpensive

- Supports dual-band 802.11ac for faster and more reliable WiFi

- Still just 1080p
- Needs a separate device to act as a remote control

Review: Google Chromecast (2015)
With 20 million Chromecasts already sold, there's a fair chance you've already got one. Google's dinky streaming dongle has proved a hugely popular alternative to more expensive set-top boxes like the Apple TV and Amazon's Fire TV.
