Got my hands on the new Chromecast 4K today, ordered from Flipkart 2 days back and it arrived this afternoon.
I am opening this thread for posting my own impressions and for the subsequent owners
I decided to quickly test it with my go to scenes on OTT platforms, the setup was simply breeze.
Asked me to open the "Google Home App" and scan the QR code. Bingo, in couple of minutes it was setup using Phone. Passwords to the OTT platforms were taken from my connected Google ID so I wasn't required to go through the logins.
Lovely, smooth, intuitive Remote, very clean UI, default settings did not need any change, it even synced to my voice profile/data I have in my phone for voice searches and commands.
Netflix came pre-installed, I quickly jumped to some of my favourite scenes which I know by heart now.
Surprise, surprise ... I have always relied upon my Xbox One S for streaming OTT content and I wasn't satisfied for this using Firestick 4K, Apple TV and Shield Pro.
This guy gave tough competition to Xbox in terms of OTT streaming.
Dialogues were cleaner and sufficiently louder without running center channel hot, bass is tighter, Atmos effects are even better.
Picture quality, I find no difference so far.
Most of Indian content Apps are available of course, I still need to test Atmos on Prime Video. UHD is working on Prime Video though.
As I said, Netflix streams Atmos and 4K
Overall this is definitely a worth and promising streaming player, I will try Plex also soon
Google has delighted me ones again with the quality product.
I will post comparison from A/B testing of specific scenes soon. Please feel free to chime in if you also bought Chromecast 4K
Some pictures to raise your interest
