Google surprised with some interesting news at the event in New York and some updates of its most popular products. For example, we will meet the new generation of Chromecast. As we can see in the picture, there are some design changes and two colors to choose from:
In addition to aesthetics, they have also made changes to the hardware to add support for the 1080p through 60fps transmission and compatibility with Google Home. A feature expected in this third generation of Chromecast is Bluetooth compatibility, which would allow users to complement the experience by implementing peripherals such as remote controls or headsets. However, it doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the specifications.
On the other hand, the user can also try to use the hands-free feature, because with the famous Hey Google you can control the program or content you want to see, including from services like YouTube or Netflix. And of course, it can also be configured so that photo albums that we select from Google Photos are shown on TV while not in use as if they were a digital frame.
And a detail that the users will appreciate is that Chromecast 3 maintains the price, about 35 dollars, although there are various promotions. This proposal is already available in some countries, such as USA, Australia, Japan, Sweden, etc. And they promise to extend it to more regions by 2019.
