| The new Chromecast comes with Google TV |
Google officially announced the new Chromecast at the event (Launch Night), and the company is adding (Google TV) as an interface compatible with the Android TV operating system on which the new Chromecast works.
The official name of this new Chromecast (Chromecast with Google TV) has had its most needed features since the first remote controlled Chromecast appeared on the market seven years ago.
Chromecast with (Google TV) costs about $ 49.99 and comes in three colors: gray, pink, and blue. It is available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. Make your first order.
The new device has almost all the functions of (Chromecast Ultra) as it supports (4K HDR) and (Dolby Vision) up to 60 frames per second.
The device is mounted to the back of the TV rather than the small box below, and it still supports all of the same streaming functions.
With (Google TV) and (Android TV) the device has its own screen surface and you can navigate using the remote control.
The remote control is relatively small, uses infrared and bluetooth, and includes an on / off switch and volume buttons to control the TV and audio system.
There is also an input button on the remote control that lets you switch to (Chromecast) without accessing other controllers.
There is also a Netflix button on the remote control, and Google has refused to reveal details of the negotiations that led to the button's existence. The button is next to the YouTube button and there is also the Google Assistant button.
Regarding sponsored content, Google said: Live TV providers have equal access to the Live tab through the same API, but the device doesn't appear to be supported (Apple TV). .
The Google Assistant is an important part of the product as users can ask assistant questions by pressing buttons on the remote control, search for content and control their smart home devices or get information from the Nest camera.
