I've thoroughly enjoyed everything else about Google TV. It began with about three dozen apps and has been steadily expanding over the last year, but it's still missing more niche services.

Thankfully, Google's done a good job of integrating all of the major streaming apps into this Google TV experience. If you see something that's only available to rent or purchase, you'll see a small lock icon next to it and its rental price. Virtually all of the recommended shows you see on the For You page (except for the Trending on Google section) come from apps/services you've indicated you subscribe to.
Some people might hate having branded buttons like this, but I'm personally fine with it.

Asisstant works much faster here than it has on previous Android TV boxes, and the contour of the Assistant button makes it easy to feel for even in the dark of your living room movie marathon.īy now, you've also probably noticed the YouTube and Netflix buttons.
Just like all modern Android TV boxes and televisions, you'll also find a Google Assistant button that you can hold down to talk to the Assistant at any time. All of the buttons are very clicky, it is comfortable to hold (albeit a touch slippery), and you have power, input, and volume buttons for your TV thanks to HDMI-CEC and IR blaster configurations you can configure in Settings. Google did a phenomenal job with the remote. And this is the first-ever Chromecast with an explicit visual interface and a remote. Not only does your color choice determine the color of the Chromecast itself, but it also changes how the included remote looks, as well as the included batteries. Google offers three colors to choose from, including Snow, Sunrise, and Sky (aka white, pink, and blue). There's support for 4K streaming up to 60fps, HDR10 and HDR10+ are both supported, and you'll also find Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
A USB-C port on the back connects to the included power cable, which then plugs into the AC adapter that powers the thing.
The Chromecast itself is made out of matte plastic and connects to your TV with the attached HDMI cable. This isn't something you'll be actively looking at all the time, but Google did a good job of ensuring it looks nice and has all of the specs/features you could ask for in a 2021 media device. Let's start with the boring stuff first - the Chromecast's hardware. Source: Joe Maring / Android Central (Image credit: Source: Joe Maring / Android Central)
