A few years ago, Google stopped manufacturing and selling Chromecast the original, a device that will soon be ten years from its launch and is still being forgotten by Google, most likely due to the huge success it enjoyed. As an example, the last update the device received.

This first Chromecast was followed by a second model, also very successful; and then followed another more refined model; Later came the Ultra version and another Audio that went through more pain than glory for various reasons; then another one came, the 2020 model already with 4K support; and this year 2022, just a few months ago, the current Chromecast did the same with Google TV, first in 4K and then in HD.

Well, all Chromecast models without exception, including those that are not yet sold, which are the most received updates these days. Also the original yes. With updates, of course, we are talking about software updates, with fixes and other little things, which may seem like just a small detail, but it is not.

It all started with this little one

That all Chromecasts have received an update, including the original one that Google did not remember for more than three years, is a gesture with more than one meaning, such as recognizing how relevant a small gadget that already exists has been on the market. , but with Google’s design and influence, it went everywhere and turned many millions of “dumb TVs” into the exact opposite.

Speaking of which, If you have any TV with an HDMI input and you have Wi-Fi, you only need one of these Chromecasts turn it into a “smart TV” in an instant better than most, because if there’s one thing that virtually all smart TVs are guilty of, it’s fair performance, derived from honest components. Rest assured, Chromecast works much better.

Who says Chromecast says Amazon Fire TV Stick or a thousand similar devices, but since the topic of the post is Chromecast and Google has worked hard with support, you know that the latest model is still on sale on Black Friday / Cyber ​​Monday, the HD version and 4k.
