The editors liked

  • I've said it once
  • And I'll say it 100 more
  • But the new wireless antenna is nothing short of astounding. It creates a near seamless streaming environment with less lag and less buffering time than almost anything – even full size set-top boxes – on the m
  • The Google Chromecast is a dirt-cheap wireless video dongle that streams Netflix
  • YouTube
  • Spotify
  • Pandora
  • HBO Now and thousands of other apps and games to your TV using an Android or Apple phone or tablet
  • Or a PC
  • As the controller. Its small size hid
  • Inexpensive
  • Improved design
  • Streams content from Netflix
  • HBO Now and other popular apps from your mobile device

The editors didn't like

  • As a fellow editor pointed out in our early hands on review
  • We're still looking for a native way to stream Amazon Instant Video from a phone or tablet to a Chromecast
  • Or mirror iOS devices to the TV with it. It's not wise to hold your breath for either
  • The lack of a dedicated remote means you always need a smartphone
  • Tablet or PC nearby to use it. Slightly more expensive boxes and sticks
  • With their physical remotes
  • Tactile buttons and onscreen displays
  • Are more convenient to use. The only way to wat
  • 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
  • No native Amazon Instant Video
  • No remote control
  • Not many games
  • Not completely catch-up TV compatible
  • Still waiting on some functionality
  • Some apps and games are yet to catch up
  • It Can't Do Your Tax Return -- That's Literally About It
  • Search could use a bit of work
  • Still can't control playback from main app
  • What's On could stand some more personalization
  • Many features not active in the UK
  • Gaming is weak currently

  • Zuverlässiges Streaming, Einfaches Setup und Bedienung, Stark verbesserte App
  • Kein eigenständiges Interface, Kein 4K
  • Besonders weil die Installation des Chromecast so lächerlich simpel ist, hat sich der erste Streaming-Stick 20 Millionen Mal verkaufen können. Er hat bewirkt, dass zahlreiche Streaming-Anbieter ihre Apps um das nötige Casting-Feature erweitert haben und g...

  • Abstract:  Moderne Fernseher sind smart. Wenigstens theoretisch. Wenn es aber darum geht, beispielsweise Fotos und Filme von Handy auf den grossen Bildschirm darzustellen, stellen sich noch immer viele TV-Geräte zickig an. Denn sie verlangen, dass ihr Besitzer smart...

  • Verarbeitung, Bedienkonzept, WLAN-Empfang, Preis
  • Wenig Neuerungen gegenüber dem Vorgänger
  • Der neue Chromecast-Dongle beinhaltet ein eher kleines Hardware-Upgrade, das sich aber gewaschen hat. Vor allem die neue Chromecast-App und das schnelle Buffern von Streams hinterlassen einen guten Gesamteindruck. Wer mit dem alten Stick WLAN-Probleme hat...

  • Streaming audio veloce, Prezzo contenuto
  • Se non utilizzate le funzioni evolute potrebbe essere sostituito da un semplice cavo audio

  • Economica, economica, economica, Design simpatico e colorato,  Praticamente tascabile, comoda da portare sempre con sè Possibilità di alimentarsi comodamente dalla USB del TV, Velocità di streaming migliorata, Supporto per WiFi 802.11ac dual band
  • La duplicazione schermo è ancora troppo lenta,  La forma e la porta microUSB non sono posizionate sapientemente
  • Dopo una sfilza di cose che potreste giustamente avere letto come critiche, raddrizzo subito il tiro ricordando che il Chromecast 2015 costa 39€ (trentanove euro), che non è più cara della precedente ed è comunque migliore dal punto di vista tecnologico...

  • Abstract:  Chromecast Video 2015 arriva dopo due anni dalla presentazione della prima versione mantenendo lo stesso prezzo di 39€. Il cambiamento sostanziale è sicuramente nella forma, ma anche nella sostanza qualcosa di nuovo c'è.L'estetica è ciò che risulta subito...

  • Abstract:  Due anni fa scrissi una cosa del genere nella recensione alla prima Chromecast : "È come un supermercato propone di portarvi le buste a casa se fate la spesa da loro". Adesso Google non ha bisogno di chiedervi il favore di tenerla collegata alla vostra TV...

  • é. Sim, esse artigo todo foi para te mostrar como Chromecast 2 e 3 estão muito parecidos, e que se você já tem a segunda geração e não é um early adopter que quer ter sempre tudo o que há de mais novo, não há razão para o upgrade. Porém, se você quiser ...
