Google Chromecast 2018 Listed on Flipkart for Rs 3,499

Google unveiled its 2018 version of Chromecast dongle for media streaming alongside the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL at its hardware event yesterday. While the company is yet to reveal the availability details of the new Chromecast in India, e-commerce portal, Flipkart has listed the product at a price of Rs 3,499. This isn’t a surprise considering both the original Chromecast and Chromecast 2 arrived in India sooner after the launch. That said, the listing currently says the product is out of stock at the moment and Google India Store too did not list the product as of this writing. In the US, the 2018 edition of Chromecast will retail for $35, which is exactly the same launch price of Chromecast 2 device.

Google Chromecast 2018: Features

The 2018 version of Chromecast is a decent upgrade compared to the Chromecast 2 that was launched a couple of years ago. However, it doesn’t match the Chromecast Ultra in terms of features because it’s the search giant’s top-of-the-line media streaming product right now. The new Chromecast has support for 60fps streaming at 60fps but lacks 4K resolution which the Chromecast Ultra offers. Google has also added support for Chromecast Audio technology support to the newly updated device.

Google claims the third-generation Chromecast offers 15% better performance compared to the Chromecast 2. That being said, it’s a minor improvement over the second generation Chromecast. Talking about the Chromecast Audio, it will allow a user to control playback music in sync with other speakers connected to Google’s devices.
