Google TV Streamer vs Chromecast with Google TV: Should you upgrade?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 03:31:12

The Chromecast with Google TV was a major evolution for Google’s media streamer. While it retained much of the design language of the original Chromecast series, the new device had remote support and the full power of the Android TV-based Google TV platform. Years later, Google is ditching the Chromecast brand altogether with the new Google TV Streamer. Is it worth upgrading, or is the Chromecast still worth sticking with or finding one on sale before it’s retired in the Google graveyard? Let’s
