We have reached out to Google for more clarification on where users will see improvement between the two models. I didn't really notice the 15 percent speed boost the 2018 Chromecast was roughly as fast as the 2015 model. I loaded YouTube and Netflix on an iPhone and Hulu on a Nexus 9 and the result was the same. In my testing, serving media from an app consistently took between 7 and 8 seconds to appear on the TV. With a remote in hand and onscreen menus, in comparison, the same process is much faster on a Roku or Fire TV. You control everything using the app.Ĭompared to a Roku, Chromecast isn't the fastest way to watch video on your TV: you'll need to unlock your phone, open the app, then press the Chromecast button and then wait a few seconds for it to appear on the TV. To stream content to the Chromecast you press the "Cast" button within the supported app on your phone, choose the Chromecast, and a few seconds later your video starts playing. Just about every major mobile app is compatible, including Netflix, YouTube, HBO Now, CBS, YouTube Kids and Starz. To use the Chromecast you need a compatible iOS or Android device, typically a phone or tablet, or a computer with the Chrome browser. Also gone is the magnetic clasp that held the connector to the body of the device when not in use. Now there's a smooth white or black finish.
The cosmetics are the biggest change from the previous version, as the grooved "7-inch record and adapter" appearance is now gone.
The dongle receives power via a micro USB port - which connects to either a USB slot on your TV or, even better, the included power adapter.

Video output is standard 1080p HD only to get 4K HDR, you'll need to go with the $70 Chromecast Ultra or the (better and cheaper) Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K or Roku Streaming Stick Plus. The Chromecast attaches to your TV via a flexible 2-inch HDMI connector. The Chromecast from 2015 (left, red) next to the 2018 Chromecast.
