More about Chromecast

The media player now comes with Google TV. This includes a better user interface and a separate remote control.

Google released it’s SDK in 2014. This allowed third parties to edit their apps to support the Chromecast. There are over 50,000 cast-ready apps available. In conclusion, this made it the best-selling streaming device. The most recent device costs about $35, with the model up being around $50. The latter supports 60fps at 4K and supports HDR.

You can also cast your device without a Wi-Fi connection. It’s similar to mirroring Android to TV with a connection. Your Android will search nearby Chromecasts that aren’t connected. Instead you’ll receive a 4 digit PIN to confirm the connection. You can then use your data connection to stream content to Chromecast.
