  • Our take on the Google ChromeCast (3rd Generation)

    The third-generation Chromecast is a small HDMI streaming dongle that plugs into a TV and casts video from a phone, tablet or laptop. It streams up to 1080p over dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and is controlled entirely from the casting app, with no remote or on-screen menu of its own. It suits people with an older 1080p TV who want to add streaming cheaply and already use apps like YouTube, Netflix or Spotify. Against the Chromecast with Google TV it lacks a remote, an interface and 4K, so it is the simpler, more limited option.

    What reviewers say

    Owners treat it as a cheap, reliable way to get apps onto a TV, and most praise how quickly it sets up and how rarely it drops the cast. The common complaints are the lack of a remote, the 1080p ceiling and the need to use a phone for everything.

    What people mention
    • ResolutionCriticisedOwners note it tops out at 1080p, so it is a poor fit for 4K TVs.
    • RemoteCriticisedReviewers miss a remote and an on-screen interface, since everything is driven from a phone.
    • SetupPraisedBuyers say it is set up in minutes through the Google Home app.
    • Streaming stabilityPraisedUsers report steady HD playback, especially on the 5 GHz band.
    • Wi-FiMixedSome see buffering on weak or distant networks, and there is no Ethernet option.

    Questions and answers

    Does the 3rd-gen Chromecast support 4K?
    No. It streams up to 1080p. For 4K you need the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) or another 4K device.
    Do I need a remote to use it?
    No remote is included and there is no on-screen menu. You start and control playback from a phone, tablet or laptop using Cast-enabled apps.
    Does it work with an iPhone?
    Yes. Cast-enabled apps on iOS can cast to it, and setup uses the Google Home app.
    What is in the box?
    The Chromecast dongle, a USB power cable and a power adapter. You supply the TV's HDMI port.
    How is it different from the Chromecast with Google TV?
    The Google TV model adds a remote, a browsable interface and 4K HDR. This model is 1080p only and relies entirely on casting from another device.
    Does it need Wi-Fi?
    Yes. It connects over 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi and has no Ethernet port, so a strong signal near the TV matters.
    Where is the Google ChromeCast (3rd Generation) cheapest?
    At Bookstop, for $60.00, as of our latest check.
