Google has launched a new device under its Chromecast lineup with the release of Chromecast with Google TV. The new Chromecast device comes with handy features such as a personalized home screen with recommended content from all your streaming subscriptions, an app store to download new apps and services, Google Voice assistant and much more.

In this post, we’ll cover everything new with Chromecast with Google TV, what it has to offer, how it compares to previous Chromecast devices, how and where to buy it, and whether or not you should buy it. Let’s get started.

The Chromecast with Google TV is Google’s latest Chromecast device that goes beyond mere screencasting and welcomes a new way to interact with your television using an Android TV-like experience that the Mountain View company is calling Google TV. That means that Google TV is Google’s take on an Android TV, but with a dedicated user interface that’s fully equipped with media streaming features.

Think of Google TV as Google’s version of Android TV. If Android TV is the default UI for all TVs running Android, like stock Android is on smartphones, then Google TV is like the Android UI that runs on Google’s Pixel phones. Like other Android TVs, Google TV also supports access to YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, Hulu, and Disney Plus. You can access content from other sources by installing apps, just like you would on your Android phone.
