– Missing some apps and could be faster
Chromecast with Google TV offers much of what you would have hoped for while you’ve been longing for a fully-fledged Google streaming stick – from support for a range of standards to a pleasant user experience. There are some strange hiccups that...

Chromecast with Google TV review
Google's mini streamer finally gets a remote
Remote control (finally!) ; Slick design ; 4K HDR ; Dolby Atmos support
Somewhat pricey for a mini streamer ; No Apple TV+ or Now TV apps ; No Google Stadia support ; Recommendations aren’t great

Chromecast with Google TV review
Chromecast finally has a full TV user interface & remote control. Is that enough?
Good evolution of Chromecast ; Full user interface & remote ; 4K Dolby Vision & Atmos support ; Inexpensive device ; App library ; Energy-efficient
Weak hardware, performance ; No frame rate matching ; Lacks Google Stadia, gaming apps ; Ads disguised as 'recommendations'

Google Chromecast 2020 review: What we always wanted
Google's history with making a streaming device with a remote and on-screen interface has been rocky at best. Did they get it right this time?
Affordable ; Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support ; Slick UI ; Responsive ; Integrated Google Assistant
Dolby Vision always on by default ; Recommendation algorithm still learning

Chromecast with Google TV review: A worthy rival to the best from Roku and Amazon Fire TV
With a real menu system and remote control, Google's $50 streamer can go toe-to-toe with the two kings of streaming.
Useful remote ; Large app selection, including HBO Max, Apple TV Plus and Peacock ; Makes excellent use of the Google Assistant ; Ties in well with YouTube TV, Google Photos
Can lag when switching apps or using voice ; Assistant doesn't always give the best option to play back content
