Is Chromecast Ultra worth buying or not?

Chromecast Ultra has been the talk of the town since it’s launched. Google has recently, started shipping its new Chromecast device known as Chromecast Ultra. It has similar chromecast set up procedure like its predecessor. So, if you are planning to buy Chromecast Ultra or are getting a bit skeptical about the device then to clear your confusion, we are here to help you to get to know this device in detail.

As you might be aware of the key role of the Chromecast Ultra, that it is capable of streaming 4K content and High-dynamic range videos. As far as, its price is concerned it costs $69 which is almost double the value of the Chromecast that was released last year and also its original model of 2013.

I got the chance to get my hands on the amazing device. It tried it on 4K TV and 1080p TV and figured out some things about this device which will be helpful for you in choosing the right device.

The moment you take it out of the box you will notice it has become more charming than its predecessors. You will find “G” logo on its glossy black plastic. It comes with a power adapter which contains Ethernet port. This comes in action when Wi-Fi is not very strong. In addition to this power adapter has a very distinctive look and to know more about it navigate to Google official site and get chromecast set up guidelines on WwwGoogle com ChromeCast Setup.

As 4K content is not that popular so, if you buy this Chromecast you will still have very limited 4K content that you can watch. This situation will definitely change with time as Google is planning to come up with Google Play and movies &TV with 4 K content before the end of this year.

Is Chromecast Ultra better than Chromecast? I know this question will be hovering your mind as Mario Queiroz provides “an even crisper picture” and loads content 1.8 times faster than its predecessors. 

So, let me tell you when I tried Chromecast Ultra with 4K TV and watched the same video with Chromecast 2 and  found a little bit difference in the picture quality like video appeared bit sharper and played more smoothly on Chromecast Ultra but there was not a major difference that I can share.

However, still people who are fascinated with 4K should definitely try Chromecast Ultra and if you are less interested then you can stick to your previous Chromecast 2. But if you have an old version of Chromecast then you definitely need to upgrade your device if you have a 4K TV. If you haven’t got Chromecast yet then this new product is worth buying and a great way to stay ahead of others.

Moreover, for the best value for your money is last year’s Chromecast but with newer version you might notice more details and bit smooth videos but all the videos will load at the same speed in all the Chromecast generations.

But if have the first-generation Chromecast then the best device that you can upgrade to last year’s chromecast without worrying more about 4K content and further Chromecast Support is there to help you in case you get stuck.

So, in my opinion, it is best to stick with second –generation Chromecast or buy last year’s Chromecast model that will solve your purpose to a great extent.
