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
