Not only is Chromecast not a box or large device, it also serves a different sort of purpose. In years past, Google failed at this task with devices like a set top box, and services like Google TV. With Apple being the company's biggest competitor, Google had to try and come up with something that could compete with Apple TV and Apple's AirPlay.

Google has been trying for some time to break into the TV market. Clearly, Google finally developed a TV product that consumers want. At the time of this writing, the Chromecast is sold out. The small dongle sold (and will continue to sell) for $35 via Amazon and other online retailers (it was also sold in the Google Play store). By connecting the dongle to a television's HDMI port, users can stream media instantly. In case you missed the announcement, Google's Chromecast is a new streaming accessory that lets users stream mobile content to TV. Another major difference is that it was compatible with both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz WiFi.As soon as it hit markets, the Google Chromecast sold out. It was the first streaming device to display 1080p.

The 2nd generation Chromecast was launched in 2015 and it was a significant upgrade from the 1st generation Chromecast. However, you can still get it on Amazon and other eCommerce devices. Just like the ultra, this model was discontinued. It has multiple apps available on Play Store like Netflix, Youtube, Amazon Prime Video, Google Photos, etc.

For example, it’s very ideal if you prefer to stream from your phone. We recommend this model to streamers who have simple needs. However, you can still use voice control on Youtube via Google Assistant. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a remote control. It is the perfect Chromecast if you’re on a budget especially since it’s the cheapest you can currently get in the market. Unlike the other models on this list, this model has a short HDMI cable and a micro USB port attached to it. This third-generation Chromecast is a high-quality streaming device. But you can always get the renewed version for less on Amazon and other eCommerce stores. Unfortunately, it was discontinued in 2020 and replaced with the TV version.

If you need to do more, you can always achieve this with the Google Home app. The only downside is that the voice controls only work for Youtube. So it’s a pretty standard device with super clear video. It was also the first to support Dolby’s vision. This Chromecast ultra was the first Chromecast device that provided 4k streaming and an ethernet port. However, it’s also the most expensive Chromecast model. And although the processor isn’t as fast as the Chromecast with Google Tv, it loads faster than other models.

This means that you have Android TV support, Playstore an intuitive user experience, and complete voice control. So it gives you all the functionalities of the 4k version we outlined above but in HD. The Chromecast HD is particularly designed for users who haven’t upgraded their TVs to 4k yet. What we love the most about this is that you can use the Google TV app on your mobile device to browse and save content. At the moment, there are three colors available in the market – snow, sunrise, and SK. This version comes with a voice control powered by Google Assistant.
