The third generation of google chromecast arrives with improved connectivity

The “Made by Google” event that ended just a little ago has given much of itself. The internet giant has presented a new generation of smartphones, the Pixel 3 series, has entered the tablet segment with the Pixel Slate, a new member of the smart speaker family, the Google Home Hub, has brought accessories such as the Pixel Stand, and many other new hardware and software, including the third generation of the Chromecast.

The third generation of the Chromecast does not bring any notable novelties in terms of design as it is, in fact, the only novelty in this field in a matte black finish.

It also does not incorporate incredible and new functions because with the new Chromecast you can continue transmitting videos from mobile devices (smartphones or tablets) to your TV, although now the new accessory offers Bluetooth connectivity so you will be able to connect external peripheral devices such as a keyboard or headphones, as well as speakers or controls to play video games.

And it is precisely in the field of connectivity where the new Chromecast takes an important leap, and not only because it offers bluetooth, but also because Wi-Fi connectivity has been improved, now allowing connection to 5GHz networks, which undoubtedly it will improve the quality of the transmissions.

On the downside, 1080p support is maintained but does not add 4K support. Of course, the price has remained intact at $ 35 from the previous dislike.
