First impressions
The new Chromecast is a small dongle not much bigger than the previous Chromecasts. It must be connected to a TV’s HDMI input. While HDMI (and USB) is technically capable of supplying power to energy-efficient devices, Chromecast has been designed to be connected to a power socket via an included power cable and brick.

It is meant to be hidden and it is small and lightweight enough to hang behind a TV.

The big change of course is that Chromecast is no longer a just a passive receiver. It now has a full TV user interface (Google TV) and comes bundled with a remote control – a change that we welcome. It is powered by a quad-core 1.9GHz ARM-based processor, Mali-G31 GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of built-in storage. Specifically the Amlogic S905D3G SoC.

Google’s small remote control has left/right/up/down buttons with an OK button in the center along with a few other buttons plus two sponsored buttons for YouTube and Netflix, which is unfortunate if you are not using these services. It is possible to remap the buttons (with a third party app) but it takes a little effort. On the side of the remote, you have volume up/down that can control your TV’s volume. We will get back to that in a moment.
