» Meet the new Chromecast


The prevalence of the Chromecast in Google’s bid
to takeover your living room is clear for all to see.
While the original device sold a whopping 20 million
units, Google is aiming to double that number with
the new revamped Chromecast.
It’s undoubtedly a tough ask for the HDMI stick
to complete, especially considering the now
increased competition from a whole array of other
Android products. The likes of the Roku 4 and the

AmazonFireTVStickhavebeenfairlysuccessful
additions to the market since their launch and they
have snapped up many of the users who may have
been in a quandary over whether to purchase a
Chromecast or not. While the new range from
Google has some fantastic new features to behold,
which we’ll come on to later, it’s the launch of the
Chromecast Audio that will be a mouthwatering
prospect for many Android users.

It’s important to remember that not all speakers
have all the modern features we have become
accustomed to, but the Chromecast Audio brings
these ageing speakers into the here and now. Keep
reading and you’ll find all the information you need
on both the new Chromecast and the Chromecast
Audio, as well as a handy guide on the recently
updated Chromecast app, available for free from
theGooglePlaystore.

All new Chromecast, but still the same amazing


products thanks to Google’s latest wave of devices
