The editors didn't like
Google still doesn't have a remote control for Chromecast
Which makes it the only streamer I can think of that doesn't have one. You have to use your phone
Tablet
Or computer
Which can be a pain in the arse
Especially if you have to enter a password
Browsing for content is a chore
Competition has more content
Some connection quirks still exist
Mirroring smartphone display can get buggy for games and some apps

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 t...

The Chromecast 2 is one of the simplest and cheapest ways to turn your dumb TV into a smart one. Tons of apps support it, so finding content isn't a problem if you know what you want to watch or listen to. But browsing for content and controlling media fr...

If you dont already have a Chromecast, then yeah, you should. $35 is so cheap for a device as capable and simple to use as this. But if you already have the original Chromecast, is it worth upgrading? Id say that depends on how your current system is pe...
Abstract: Google's Chromecast is one of the cheapest, most popular streaming devices, but hasn't been updated since 2015.Today that changes. Google's 2018 version Chromecast is official, and available now in black or white for $35.So what's different? The finish is...
Tallying up the scores, the Amazon Fire TV Stick is the overall winner in this epic four-way streaming stick battle. It's brilliant for a whole host of reasons; given its personal voice-control assistant in Alexa and a fantastic range of apps, it represen...
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
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,
As much as I love the new Chromecast, it may not be worth replacing an existing old Chromecast if you already own one. That said, the new version is the most affordable choice for anyone who hasn't bought into Google's streaming platform yet.Alternatively...
All three of these media streaming sticks makes for a good purchase so it really depends what you want. However, objectively, the Roku Streaming Stick stands out slightly with its remote control and superior list of available content services.Tags:Smart H...

In terms of performance and capability the Chromecast Ultra is a big improvement on its older sibling, especially if you've made the leap to a 4K Television set. Upgrading the tech has also seen an increase in price, which feels a little high at the momen...
At just £30, the Chromecast would appear to be a no-brainer, but it's not quite that simple. Although support has become a lot better, there's still not a lot of support for catch-up TV beyond BBC iPlayer. That means no All 4, no Demand Five, no ITV Playe...
