Chromecast with Google TV makes your smart TVs smarter

The antagonist to Amazon’s FireTV…

If you happen to be one of those rare individuals whose smart TV just isn’t smart enough or simply the kind who wants to turn any screen into a TV, check this out. Google’s new Chromecast with Google TV is a way to bring all your movies, entertainment, OTT platforms, and apps to you via just an HDMI port.

The compact and thin design of the device comes packed with the latest technology to give people an outstanding viewing experience. Simply plugging into the TV's HDMI port, the device tucks behind the screen and makes your not-so-smart TV smart. Providing 4K HDR picture quality at up to 60 frames per second, the device comes equipped with Dolby Vision. It is also capable of supporting HDMI pass-through of Dolby audio content.

The all-new Chromecast with Google TV is paired with a voice remote that is simple, ergonomic, and full of new features. With a dedicated button for (you guessed it) the Google Assistant, you can simply tell your TV what to do and ask it endless questions instead of annoying your family. You even have the option to control your smart home lights to set the mood. The new remote sports designated hotkeys for YouTube and Netflix, wasting the least amount of time when it comes to viewing content (because binging is hard enough without a hundred remotes to slow you down).

The Chromecast with Google TV is now available for ₹6,399 on Flipkart, a pricey competitor to the FireTV stick.
