Chromecast 2 by Google is now available in Australia. Offering significant improvements over the original Chromecast. The original Chromecast was a beauty of a product. A sleek, compact, easy-to-use, easy-to-setup companion device to stream files from a compatible device or web browser.

Google's second generation Chromecast isn't that different to its predecessor. There's a new design and a few clever tweaks, but for all intents and purposes, it's the same product in a prettier shell. What has changed is the Australian media landscape.

Easy to setup and use; Improved form factor; Support for 5GHz wireless networks

No option for a dedicated remote; No support for 4K streaming; A little more expensive this time

Google's Chromecast is one of the biggest releases they've had in the past few years, since Google announced the original back in 2014 they've sold over 20 million of them. But the original model had some flaws and alongside the 2015 Nexus launch, Google announced a new generation of Chromecast to...

With better Wi-Fi and far better performance, Chromecast 2 has ousted the original as one of our favorite devices of all time.

Great new design; Easy to set up

Search needs improvement; More apps needed

Good design; Smooth streaming experience; Easy to set up and use; Well designed app and UI

Mirroring smartphone display can get buggy for games and some apps

Good idea but horrible piece of hardware. My Chromecast 2 either reboots or freezes at least 10 times for every 1 hour video I attempt to cast to my TV. I have tried resetting to factory condition & starting over numerous times. I have tried putting my laptop very close to my TV.

Great picture & sound when it works

it only works 10% of the time

Device good.
