![]() ![]() I like the angular shape of Fire stick over the circular design of Chromecast, but honestly, the design doesn’t matter as both of these sticks are going to sit behind the TV anyway. With that being said, let’s begin.īoth Chromecast 3 and Fire TV stick 4K look pretty much the same. Before we begin, make sure you subscribe to this channel, we make videos on how to get most of your streaming device. So, if you are looking to buy a new streaming stick like the new Chromecast 3, or the Fire TV Stick 4K, then I’ve got your back. The biggest highlight perhaps is that the Chromecast 3 can now do 1080p at 60 frames per second. On the other hand, not much has changed in the 3rd generation of Chromecast. A much-needed upgrade over the previous generation Fire stick. So, the Fire TV Stick 4K, now not only supports 4K, HDR and Dolby Atmos but the new Alexa remote has also come with volume controls. Well, to get to the crux of it, let’s see what's changed first. So, this got everyone thinking including me, which one has the edge of the other one? The new Fire TV stick supports 4K and comes with an Alexa remote, while the new Chromecast is still the king of screen mirroring. It has some added advantages shown below -Ģ) Google Assistant is available at the push of the buttons.Last year, Google launched the Chromecast 3, alongside the Pixel 3, priced at $35, and after a few months later, Amazon released the next gen Fire TV Stick 4K priced a little bit more, at $49.īoth of these streaming devices have their own perks. Both of them have adapted smart features to attract the customers.Ĭhrome cast with Google TV has captured market even if it is mostly playing catchup to Amazon but even then in terms of design, features and new user interface, this makes this feature well worth of the money. Originally these devices were supposed to have introduced smart features in the average televisions but due to upgradation of of snarf speakers like Google Home and Amazon Echo these features have gained popularity. If either of the feature is used, the TV would behave like a smart TV. Google and Amazon are aggressively posting refreshes of both Amazon Fire Stick and Chrome Cast devices for sometime. I feel the availability of Alexa and the responsive user interface gives a little advantage to the amazon fire stick over Chrome cast. ![]() Chrome cast may cost a little less but not very abnormal difference. Price: Price is almost the same in both cases. Amazon Firestick sound output is up to Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 whereas Chromecast output is up to Dolby Digital Plus 5.1.ģ. HD resolution capacity is the same in both devices. Through Google home devices we can control Chrome also by voiceĢ. You have to select a video, song or web page through phone or tablet and then cast the content to the TV. The set up is very simple and we can handle the fire stick easily. This facility will be useful only when you want to see the content available in Amazon Prime. You can find the content you want quickly by using your voice. Amazon fire stick will have the voice Remote. These two are very famous video streamers and these two are the cheapest streamers available in the market. There are some other similar devices in the market like NVIDIA Shield TV Streaming Player (price about Rs 12800) and Roku Ultra (price not mentioned as stock is not available right now). For those who are accustomed to Google home and using it, Chromecast would be easy to operate and its functional range would increase further. If we see all the functionalities of these devices then Chromecast is having more functions than that of the Amazon stick and moreover Chromecast integrates well with the app one uses while Amazon stick is having lesser number of functions. Now coming to the differences - Chromecast connects to Google Home and being bigger in size connects to TV with a chord and does not have an optional remote while Amazon fire stick is pluggable and is having Alexa remote. Let us see some of the common functionalities which both have to almost same degree of ease and these are - easy set up, play contents from mobile device, view ones camera on TV with voice etc. There are subtle differences here and there and I would summarise them for taking a decision for buying one of them. Both the devices are well comparable and very capable in their own ways. Basically, these devices are for converting a normal TV into a smart TV. ![]()
