The Chromecast with Google TV HD is now official, replacing the original Chromecast (with no Google TV) launched 4 years ago. In this article, we will look at the specs, features, availability, and price in Nepal of the Chromecast with Google TV HD.

Chromecast with Google TV HD Overview:

Visually, it looks precisely like the Chromecast with Google TV from two years ago. However, it brings a few key changes to the game. First off, let's talk about the resolution, it outputs a maximum of 1080p which makes it not so ideal for 4K TVs. However, it still supports HDR and the difference is negligible on smaller screens. The Chromecast with Google TV HD is available in three color options: Snow, Sunrise, and Sky. Inside the box, you get a power adapter, a power cable, a voice remote, 2 AAA batteries, and the Chromecast itself.

Newer Chipset

The new Chromecast utilizes an Amlogic S805X2 chip and supports AV1 decoding codec. The 4K model lacks support for this codec. Furthermore, the streaming device comes with 8GB of storage and 1.5GB of RAM. For software, the Chromecast with Google TV HD boots on Android 12 right out the gate.
