We are lovers of the Google Chromecast, that's why at the time we brought you a Google Chromecast 2 review, and today we want to talk to you about the Chromecast Ultra. This device, launched just a short time apart from its "little brother", meets the needs of those who want to enjoy the best video and audio capabilities at all times. We are facing the 4K era, Sony has already presented its PlaySation Pro with capabilities in this resolution and multimedia centers are added to broadcast in 4K. Google wanted to satisfy 4K lovers, that's what the Chromecast Ultra has come forHowever, perhaps the price is not as attractive as it should be.
To the mess, the Chromecast Ultra has the ability to play streaming content in resolution Ultra HD (4K) with the possibility of adjusting to HDR parameters. This means that its processing capabilities have been improved, as well as its size. However, we are faced with the usual problem, WiFi connections in the vast majority of homes are an obstacle to streaming content at high resolutions, however, Chromecast Ultra has the solution, an RJ45 connection, the classic Ethernet cable.
In addition, this new version of the Chromecast is adapted to what in Spain we know as Wi-Fi Plus (offered by some telephone companies), which is nothing more than a router that broadcasts in 5GHz bands with the capacity to broadcast up to 300Mbps. Unlike its little brothers, the Chromecast Ultra will not be offered in different color palettes, it will come in strict black. As tight as its price, € 79 for a clearly overpriced device, and the reasons are obvious, since at that price or for a little more we can find multimedia centers that already reproduce content in 4K and perhaps offer us more possibilities at the software level.
