Google 4K TV Streamer With Voice Remote

Excellent unit. Not sure what other consumers talking about in reference to unable to add Plex. I have everything thing that is on my new video shield symmetrical with the new Google streaming player. It also includes Plex. Image quality outstanding. Fast and snappy. Make under performing apps such as the new Tablo app for the new version a pleasant experience.

This TV streamer works very well! First off, the device itself feels nicely made and doesn’t feel cheap. It is small and compact enough that it won’t take up a lot of space and fits in nicely with my decor. I really like the overall design and color. It looks and feels premium.

It is very easy to setup and it includes just about everything you need to get going. It comes with a very nice remote and uses 2 AAA batteries (which are included). It does not come with an HDMI cable which is required to use it. Once plugged in, it guides you through the setup on screen. Just follow the prompts. This off course, does run official Android Software and you have access to the Android TV store. It is also possible to sideload other apps, if you wish. I really like the official Android TV Software and it’s overall design and functionality.

I’ve used this with all the major streaming apps and had no issues streaming 4K and full HD video where available. It does play 4K video without any stuttering or freezing (just make sure your internet can handle it). I played a few games on it and it handled it well. I would not play any graphics intense games unless you do it through a cloud service. All of the games in the store should be just fine.

There is no lag that I noticed while using this and switching between apps. It’s quick and snappy and can handle a good bit of apps and games with it’s built in storage. It is possible to add more storage via the USB-C port with a hub if you need to.

All things considered, I really like this TV Streamer and it is quite powerful for the price. It is a nice, cheaper alternative to some of the more expensive boxes out there and I really like it! I will be getting more of them!

As a long time Chromecast user, I wasn’t sure what to expect with the new streaming device – but it is fantastic! Simple setup, faster than previous Chromecast versions, beautiful picture quality, the same UI you’ve come to know and love from Google, and having the Google Home App directly on my tv screen is a big plus – I love being able to see activity from the doorbell with a simple glance at the TV. The new form factor is sleek and chic, also much smaller than I expected. We’ve bought 2 so far (porcelain here on Amazon), which blends in seamlessly with the white woodwork where one of our TVs is located, and also the hazel (a dark gray color) from the Google store – which is perfect for our other TVs where speakers and other trim in that area is dark. Will likely upgrade our other CCs with this streamer as well. Oh, also of note – the new remote is nice! Slightly larger than previous CC remotes, which my partner says is a better organic fit for his hand, and nice to have the volume buttons directly on the face as opposed to the side. Added bonus is the find my remote feature. Overall, great update by the team at Google!
