Despite being the best value for money for a Chromecast, you should be aware that this new Chromecast is a slightly dumbed-down version of the original Chromecast. According to Express, it is worth noting it is unable to stream in 4K, does not support Dolby Atmos audio, and only comes available in snow white color rather than the three colors of its more expensive siblings. As per the report, this Chromecast is superior to Fire TV and Roku. 

These missing key features may actually give some users an advantage. Some of us might be better off keeping our perfectly functional HD TVs rather than upgrading to the more expensive 4K-capable models on the market. This is a pro tip from Gadgetsnow: you actually have an unlimited number of TV shows and channels with an FHD, whereas most 4K TVs have limited content availability. 

Chromecast Key Features

Let us now discuss the features and benefits of this new Chromecast. According to the official Google Store, one of this new device's best features is its extremely efficient UX. On its homepage, you can see all of the available movies, TV shows, and streaming platforms at a glance. This means spending less time pointlessly scrolling through endless lists and more time watching your favorite movie.

The device also includes excellent movie and television show recommendations. Never miss out on the latest Netflix buzz and watch from a selection of really good content with the new Chromecast. Not only that, but the Chromecast includes voice commands via the Google Assistant button to assist you in finding specific shows.

According to a previous Tech Times report, the original base variant only functions as a streaming stick, allowing users to stream videos from their smartphones. The all-new version, on the other hand, knows its old tricks by simply pressing the Chromecast button on its remote.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, this new Chromecast could be an excellent addition to your living room entertainment system. Have fun with friends and family while selecting from a nearly limitless selection of exciting movies and TV shows.
