Google has launched its second-generation Chromecast dongle in India, alongside the new Chromecast Audio dongle, both priced at Rs. 3,399.
Chromecast Audio is a small device that plugs into your speaker for streaming music over Wi-Fi.
Once set up, simply use your iPhone®, iPad®, Android phone or tablet, Mac® or Windows® laptop or Chromebook to cast your favourite tunes to the best speakers in the house.*
It is easy to cast music, without the hassle of pairing devices. Tap the Cast button from music apps to hear the music instantly on your speakers. Search, play, pause, queue songs and turn up the volume right from your phone—anywhere in the house.
Enjoy over 30 million songs from music services like Saavn, Wynk Music and TuneIn radio. We're constantly adding new apps, so there's no end to the music, radio stations and podcasts that you can enjoy. The company is offering a free Saavn Pro subscription and free Hooq subscription – 6 months each – with both dongles. To recall, the company had refreshed the Chromecast dongle and globally launched it with the new Chromecast Audio dongle September last year.
The second-generation Chromecast’s design is significantly different from the original’s. The new dongle has an HDMI cable looped inside a circular Chromecast logo-shaped unit. Connectivity has also improved, with three onboard antennas and dual-band 5GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi for stutter-free high quality streaming. It comes with Fast Play, allowing the Chromecast to start a video or audio streaming much more quickly once the Cast button is pressed.
The new Chromecast dongle also enjoys the Feeds feature, which can be controlled via the Chromecast app, letting users choose what content the Chromecast will display on screen when on standby – from social media feeds to image feeds. Unlike the first generation Chromecast dongle, the new media streaming device will be available in three colours – Black, Red, and Yellow.
The media-streaming dongles will be available from several online marketplaces including Flipkart, Snapdeal, Paytm, as well as retailers like Reliance and Croma. At ₹3399, Chromecast Audio is an affordable way to enjoy the music you love on your existing speakers.
