Google TV Streamer review

A good streamer with a great predecessor and even greater competition

Natural and balanced picture ; Good detail ; Improved remote

Uninspiring sound ; Lacks picture dynamism

The Google TV Streamer is a mostly solid way to access and enjoy streaming apps, but its price tag puts it in an awkward position, especially in light of its sonic pitfalls

Google TV Streamer review: Chromecast's awkward pre-teen era | Digital Trends

Google TV Streamer builds on the long legacy of Chromecast with a device that's set to forge the way for the next several years, at least.

Priced at a sweet spot ; Google TV is smoother ; Improved remote control ; Includes smart home features

Can't hide behind a TV ; Smart-home features a little rough

“Google replaces Chromecast with a worthy streaming platform.”

Google TV Streamer 4K Review: Smooth Streaming

The long-lived Chromecast has evolved into this plug-and-play streamer with Dolby Vision support and smart home controls.

Easy setup. Button to find remote. Dolby Vision support. Works as a Thread router for smart home devices. Decent voice search. Virtually every app is available. Built-in cast for easy streaming.

Somewhat large. HDMI cable not included. No backlit remote. No Wi-Fi 7 support.

The Google TV Streamer is so good that I won't ever miss the Chromecast

Google may have had to kill off the Chromecast line, but during my Google TV Streamer review, I found it easy to see why it did.

Affordable ; More RAM and more storage ; Great new processor ; Google Home integration ; New, better remote ; Thread/Matter baked-in

No expandable storage ; No HDMI cable in box ; Only two colors

After playing with the Google TV Streamer, I am convinced that this is worth seeing the end of the Chromecast. While I appreciate how tiny and simple a Chromecast is, it can’t compete with the big boys, and the Google TV Streamer can. It has all the...

Google TV Streamer review: A streaming device for the AI era

Bigger, smarter — and pricier

Enhanced smart home controls ; Redesigned remote ; Clever use of AI for screensaver

Pricier than Chromecast with Google TV ; Can’t fit behind TV

The Google TV Streamer is a completely redesigned streaming device, but the changes are more than aesthetic, as it boasts a new interface to control smart home devices, and uses AI to help you make more informed decisions on what to watch. But, it’s...
