Google has introduced its new variant of the Chromecast with Google TV platform known as the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) which gives a 1080p resolution content. The company has announced the product globally, including India.
According to Google, the new Chromecast “brings more capabilities and intelligence to the Chromecast experience that people have loved for years.” The design of the product is similar to the 4K variant.
The biggest upgrade in the device comes in the form of software, as the new Chromecast runs on Android 12 version-based Google TV out of the box. Google has also added a few software optimizations behind the scenes for a hassle-free experience no matter what TV it is paired with.
The device also offers Chromecast features like the ability to chat from phone, share Google Photos to TV, or cast Google Meet video calls to TV. The voice remote holds a Google Assistant button and access buttons for popular streaming services-YouTube and Netflix.
With the help of the virtual assistant, users will be able to access and control several streaming and other smart home devices. For kids, parental controls can be placed which will let children view only family-friendly content.
The Chromecast with Google TV (HD) will also let users organise their profiles with customisable recommendations. It offers 1,000 apps including Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+ Hotstar, MX Player, Voot, YouTube, and more.
Google has launched the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) at Rs 4,499, however, it is available at a much lower cost of Rs 4,199 on Flipkart currently. Google has mentioned that the device will soon also be available for purchase at other retail outlets in India.
