You know a product’s about to launch when the leaks start to come from retailers. And that’s now the case with theGoogle Chromecast with Google TV (HD), which is about to go on sale.
A new leak fromSnoopytechon Twitter reports that the US price is set and that many retailers already have the device in stock, so a launch is clearly imminent.
The Chromecast withGoogleTV (HD) is the slightly lower spec and more affordable version of theChromecast with Google TV, which we said is “as good as affordable video streamers currently get”.
Should you buy the Chromecast with Google TV (HD)?
I wouldn’t rush if I were you. I’ve just chucked the current model into a price checking website and I’ve found multiple versions coming in at around 20% to 30% lower than the RRP, so it’s coming in cheaper than the new model’s price – and for the same money you’re getting the full-fat 4K version, not the HD version.
And of course, there’sAmazonto consider here too. At the time of writing Amazon UK is charging £49 for theFire TV Stick 4Kand £54.99 for theFire TV Stick 4K Max; in the US the 4K Max is $46. Those prices are without discounts, and I’d expect to see much better deals in the coming weeks and many more onBlack Friday. I’ve owned several Fire TV sticks and while the first few generations were rather underpowered that’s not the case any more: they’re fast, fluid and have all the key streaming apps.
If you’re not too bothered about which smart assistant your TV dongle has, I’d hang on for discounts and then go with whatever’s cheapest. Functionally there’s not a huge difference between a Chromecast and aFire TVStick now that Amazon has loosened the restrictions on streaming to its devices: both platforms enable you to stream from local devices to your TV and both have stacks of streaming apps in addition to their own services.
