Google Chromecast (Black, 2nd Generation)
You can get better solutions with more options from other manufacturers.- As described
- Nothing
Chromecast 2 by Google is now available in Australia. Offering significant improvements over the original Chromecast. The original Chromecast was a beauty of a product. A sleek, compact, easy-to-use, easy-to-setup companion device to stream files from a compatible device or web browser.
Chromecast (2015) - Same but different but same
Google's second generation Chromecast isn't that different to its predecessor. There's a new design and a few clever tweaks, but for all intents and purposes, it's the same product in a prettier shell. What has changed is the Australian media landscape.- Easy to setup and use
- Improved form factor
- Support for 5GHz wireless networks
- No option for a dedicated remote
- No support for 4K streaming
- A little more expensive this time
Google's Chromecast is one of the biggest releases they've had in the past few years, since Google announced the original back in 2014 they've sold over 20 million of them. But the original model had some flaws and alongside the 2015 Nexus launch, Google announced a new generation of Chromecast to...
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.
Best price on chromecast
I bought two additional Google Chromcasts from Staples. I use them to stream Hulu, Netflix and HBO now. It's very convenient to use my phones or tablets as a remote. I had them shipped to the store which is only a couple of minutes from my house.
Google Chromecast review: a super streamer you can't ignore
Google has once again proved that it has the smarts to make streaming work. The new design is fun but functional, the new app more responsive and, for the most part, a joy to use. But the best thing about the Chromecast is the price - at a snip under ￡30, it is one of the cheapest ways to stream and...- Great new design
- Easy to set up
- Search needs improvement
- More apps needed
Google Chromecast 2
At Rs. 3,399, the Chromecast 2 is a good buy, as long as you're streaming a lot of content from your smartphone. The performance is better than its predecessor, and it can turn your dumb old TV into a smarter one. You may not want to go back to watching traditional TV once you've used this.- Good design
- Smooth streaming experience
- Easy to set up and use
- Well designed app and UI
- Mirroring smartphone display can get buggy for games and some apps
Freezes & Random Reboots nonstop
Good idea but horrible piece of hardware. My Chromecast 2 either reboots or freezes at least 10 times for every 1 hour video I attempt to cast to my TV. I have tried resetting to factory condition & starting over numerous times. I have tried putting my laptop very close to my TV.- Great picture & sound when it works
- it only works 10% of the time
