It's assumed, however, that all of this is coming to the original Chromecast as well. Beyond the new Wi-Fi channels, which we'll be putting through more extensive testing soon, the technology remains broadly the same, and as the biggest improvements are i...
Faster, Better Looking Design, Awesome New Chromecast App, Did We Mention It Is A LOT FASTER
It Can't Do Your Tax Return -- That's Literally About It
Cheap. Easy to use. Useful. The original Chromecast was all of these things and more, so improving on this was always going to be a challenge. Fortunately, Google has absolutely SMASHED it with the Chromecast 2, leaving alone the core experience of Chrome...

Marginally faster streaming, Nifty, versatile new design, Same low price
No native Amazon Instant Video, No remote control, Not many games
With better Wi-Fi and far better performance, Chromecast 2 has ousted the original as one of our favorite devices of all time...
Abstract: Also in the box is a mini USB to USB lead and a 13amp connector to provide power this fits opposite the hard wired HDMI lead on the Chromecast.The fold round lid of the box has the only instructions, Plug into Power and TV. Switch TV input. Set it up and...
It's fast and has superior Wi-Fi, Simplicity, great app, Cheap as chips, Tons of apps work with it, Looks nice
Still waiting on some functionality, Some apps and games are yet to catch up
So, should you get one? If you already own a Chromecast and you're wondering if you need to upgrade, then the answer is no. If you want to play Android games on your TV then you'll have more fun with the Nexus Player. If you can't stand the eight seconds...
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
The new Chromecast is an easy way to get content to your TV via your phone, tablet or PC without any hassle. Whether you want to playback from apps, mirror browser tabs (or local media playback within), or even play split-screen games - Chromecast 2...
Starting with the design of the New Chromecast we have a device which is a definite improvement over the older version. It does look nicer overall however from a functional point of view...
New design fits any port, Slightly faster load speeds, New app is a huge improvement, Cross-platform search at this price is impressive
Search could use a bit of work, Still can't control playback from main app, What's On could stand some more personalization
In the end, the new design features are a step up, but not enough to make us trade in our old Chromecast — especially considering all of our favorite new features work just fine on the old version. But for those who still haven't checked out a Chromecas...
