Overview
A small HDMI dongle powered by its own adapter turns almost any TV into a Google TV smart set. The home screen pulls shows from all your services into one place, and the voice remote searches by title, mood, genre or actor.
One home screen for every streaming service ends the hopping between apps, and casting from a phone works out of the box. It depends on Wi-Fi, a Google Account and a power outlet near the TV.
Who it's for
Families get unified recommendations, kids profiles and voice search on an existing TV. People who want to stream without accounts or internet will find it limited.
Pros and cons
- All services on one home screen
- Voice search with Assistant
- Kids profiles with bedtime limits
- Casting from phones
- Needs a power outlet near the TV
- Requires Google Account
- Resolution listed inconsistently in specs
Performance notes
Picture quality depends on your TV and broadband, since ultra HD playback needs both a capable set and a reliable connection. The stick handles decoding, so apps run from it rather than from the TV. Voice commands go through the remote's Assistant button.
