let's unbox a chromecast shall we
0:20
look there's no reason to beat around
0:21
the bush here we've all known that this
0:23
new chromecast is coming out we all know
0:25
that it's got a ui it's got a remote
0:27
control
0:27
and everybody honestly has just been
0:29
excited to
0:31
see what it's like to use it and so what
0:33
we want to do is
0:34
now that we have one here in the office
0:36
unbox it and let you kind of see it
0:37
really quickly there's not a whole lot
0:39
here it's a dongle and a remote
0:40
but get some idea about what it looks
0:42
like and feels like and then actually
0:44
plug it in and see the ui
0:46
in action so we're going to do exactly
0:47
those things but real quick around the
0:49
box
0:50
on the back simple setup plug connect
0:53
and
0:54
stream so very clear very concise
0:57
messaging from google
0:58
while this thing can be and act as a
1:00
chromecast they're also wanting to push
1:02
the narrative that
1:03
they're hooked up with all of these
1:04
streaming services and they can help
1:07
kind of guide you through all of those
1:08
different services and help you find the
1:10
stuff that you need and stuff that you
1:12
want so on the other side
1:14
google tv puts all your entertainment in
1:16
one place it's easy to find what you
1:17
want discover 700 000 plus
1:20
movie and tv episodes get
1:21
recommendations see where they're
1:23
available to stream
1:24
hd 4k hdr and then you get quite a few
1:27
of the
1:28
actual services part of them obviously i
1:31
mean this thing is going to work with
1:32
just about any streaming service you can
1:34
imagine
1:35
so think like roku it's going to just
1:37
basically pull in services from just
1:39
about anywhere
1:40
for you to stream and actually navigate
1:42
on the ui so
1:43
it's a lot more than what we've seen in
1:46
previous uh
1:47
chromecasts and you know that's cool
1:49
because
1:50
ultimately you know they're branding
1:52
this thing a little bit differently it's
1:54
not just chromecast it's chromecast with
1:56
google tv
1:57
and we're gonna have to see how that all
1:58
shakes out because ultimately google tv
2:00
is now gonna become
2:01
google's streaming service
2:05
thing so like play movies and tv is
2:07
gonna be taken over with google tv so
2:08
it's
2:09
it's at one time you know the service
2:11
that's gonna come
2:12
compile all this stuff in one place for
2:14
you but it's also
2:15
the kind of uh skin for the os so
2:18
underneath the fact that it's running
2:20
google tv there's also
2:22
technically android tv here so the bones
2:24
of it
2:25
is an operating system they've had for a
2:27
little while but they're just rebranding
2:28
this thing and so
2:30
you can see right at the outset this
2:31
thing is very googly very googly branded
2:34
um nice packaging here remote is nice
2:38
and small
2:39
uh get underneath here and
2:42
nothing that's in there like crazy uh
2:45
you get a usb type-c
2:46
cable some batteries look they even have
2:48
white batteries how cool is that so some
2:50
batteries for
2:51
the device for the uh remotes and you
2:54
get a usb
2:55
type-c connector here and from what we
2:58
understand
2:59
you're going to have to actually hook
3:01
this thing
3:02
into power so it won't work just from
3:04
your television uh as old chromecast did
3:07
because there's a little bit more going
3:08
on here this is a
3:09
full-fledged operating system thing
3:11
going on so it's not just as simple as
3:14
the old
3:14
chromecast setup was so let's pull this
3:18
bad boy out
3:20
anything else in there nope
3:24
and here it is after all this time
3:28
very googly very pebble shaped nice and
3:31
rounded so if you've seen a third gen
3:32
chromecast so not the ultra
3:34
but the kind of rounded standard third
3:37
gen
3:37
google chromecast it feels very similar
3:40
to that do we
3:41
no magnet thing is gone it was kind of
3:44
pointless but it was a nice touch in the
3:45
older ones it would magnet itself here
3:47
it looks like you got a hard reset
3:49
button there across the bottom
3:51
and then usb type c here and again
3:53
that's going to deliver the power to the
3:54
device
3:55
but from what we've already seen online
3:57
since this is running an operating
3:59
system you can actually
4:00
hook in a dongle usb type-c dongle and
4:02
hook like keyboards and
4:03
mice and all their kind of peripherals
4:06
up to it it also has bluetooth so if you
4:09
want to hook up
4:09
a joystick so something like an xbox
4:11
controller or something like that
4:13
apparently that works we're obviously
4:15
we've been reading about this stuff
4:16
we're going to be doing all kinds of
4:17
weird experiments to see exactly what we
4:19
can get away with with this little guy
4:21
but the important thing to note is
4:23
there's no reason to
4:24
expect this thing to run all sorts of
4:27
crazy stuff because ultimately
4:29
it's a low powered processor it doesn't
4:31
have a whole lot of storage or ram
4:32
it's not like it's trying to compete
4:34
with the shield tvs of the world
4:36
you can look at the branding on the box
4:37
and realize google is just trying to say
4:39
hey here's this thing
4:41
with a remote we're gonna get that out
4:42
in just a second that you can control
4:44
and you know point this thing at your tv
4:46
and get to your content if you want but
4:47
you can also cast it as well
4:49
so obviously this part will go into the
4:50
tv uh and then hook the power in
4:53
and or some sort of peripheral or
4:55
whatever it is you want to connect into
4:57
it so
4:57
kind of cool to see there but keep that
4:59
in mind as you're setting up your
5:00
televisions and thinking about getting
5:02
this
5:02
i did love the ability to just hook to
5:04
that usb on most tvs it was enough power
5:07
to push a chromecast but
5:09
ultimately again this thing is going to
5:10
require a little bit more than what the
5:12
old chromecast
5:13
did and the main star of the show i mean
5:17
i know the chromecast is doing all the
5:19
work
5:20
but the remote we wrote about chromecast
5:23
getting a remote
5:24
and all that kind of stuff gosh it's
5:25
been over a year ago i think and that
5:26
article still gets traction
5:28
because people have loved the chromecast
5:30
but wish there was some sort of remote
5:32
and
5:32
if you know anything about the way
5:33
chromecast used to work like there's no
5:35
way for it to have a remote there's no
5:37
way for it to
5:38
actually use a remote because there was
5:39
no ui on the screen it was all based on
5:41
your device and casting to the screen
5:43
all of that still there but now you get
5:45
all this google tv stuff so you get
5:47
buttons like home
5:48
and back and the google assistant button
5:50
dedicated youtube and netflix buttons
5:52
that will launch those apps
5:54
you actually get a source button so this
5:55
thing actually has an ir blaster on the
5:57
top here
5:58
and apparently you can set this thing up
6:00
to control tvs and sound bars and all
6:02
that kind of stuff too which is a nice
6:04
touch because ultimately
6:05
if you set it up right it seems like
6:07
this can be the majority controller you
6:09
just have to have the one you know this
6:10
will turn on your tv
6:11
and all that kind of stuff so again
6:13
we're going to have to mess with all
6:15
that stuff and see how
6:16
nimble this controller is as far as
6:18
getting that kind of stuff set up but
6:19
there's nothing really
6:20
crazy going on here it's nice and light
6:22
matches the color here so it's going to
6:24
match whatever color chromecast you get
6:26
you've got some direction buttons and
6:28
then you've got a select button so
6:29
that's going to move you around the
6:30
interface
6:31
and there are a handful of very
6:32
simplistic android tv games
6:35
that that will probably work with this
6:36
just fine you'll be able to play a
6:37
couple simple games on your
6:39
on your tv with this remote and you've
6:42
got a volume rocker here on the side so
6:44
not sure if that's going to be able to
6:45
be mapped to like a sound bar the
6:47
television or if it's just going to turn
6:48
the volume of the actual chromecast up
6:50
and down again
6:51
some of that stuff we're just going to
6:52
figure out as we actually spend time
6:55
with this device but
6:56
here's the chromecast here's the remote
6:58
everything you get in the box
6:59
and so now we're going gonna get a
7:01
monitor of some sort up here on the desk
7:03
and actually plug it in and just move
7:04
around the interface real quick
7:05
so you can kind of see that on camera
7:08
all right so we are loading in
7:09
uh we've gone through all the setup
7:11
stuff there's some updates you gotta
7:12
take obviously you've gotta sign in with
7:14
your google account and
7:16
get all that kind of stuff set up and we
7:17
opted even to do all of that setup with
7:19
the remote
7:20
i don't know that i would recommend that
7:21
it's just cool that you can do that
7:23
and you can see all these neat
7:24
animations as you boot in a much nicer
7:26
overall experience
7:27
uh from what you normally see on a
7:29
chromecast but like i said
7:31
we use this to actually poke around the
7:33
keyboard to put in wi-fi passwords and
7:35
google account passwords
7:37
it's time-consuming and aggravating just
7:38
like it is on any other
7:40
uh setup where you've got to push you
7:42
know move and highlight letters
7:44
but it works so out of the box we did
7:46
the entire setup with just the remote
7:48
so that's that's an important fact that
7:50
since this one includes a remote and
7:51
there's some setup processes needed it's
7:53
nice that you can do everything with
7:54
just the remote
7:55
i would say use your phone it offers you
7:58
to do that right up front i would say
7:59
that would be a much easier way
8:01
to go about using this thing but what we
8:03
wanted to show you is just a quick
8:05
overview of what the ui looks like
8:07
because again this isn't just a
8:09
chromecast we're not just talking about
8:11
uh being able to cast up on the screen
8:13
we're talking about being able to move
8:14
through an interface and so this is the
8:16
for you
8:17
uh section so you're gonna see a bunch
8:19
of stuff in here we're using our chrome
8:21
unboxed account so there's no real
8:23
content tied to this this particular
8:25
gmail account and yet
8:27
we're already populated with all sorts
8:29
of stuff to go check out and and look at
8:31
because
8:32
ultimately it's pulling from services
8:33
i've never used all them
8:35
i don't know oh that's the name of the
8:37
the movie so some of these are showing
8:39
yeah so the service vicky viki i'm not
8:41
sure
8:42
so it's saying dramas hey here's some
8:43
dramas to watch 2btv
8:45
i don't have any of these accounts set
8:47
up but you know i do have a hulu account
8:49
but i don't have a hula account with
8:50
this particular google account so it's
8:52
already starting to pull
8:53
and trying to figure out kind of what i
8:54
like there's not a whole lot of info
8:56
on this account for me personally so
8:58
it's it's kind of guessing at this point
9:00
but you can already see down here
9:02
recommended videos it put a chrome unbox
9:04
video there so let's let's just click it
9:05
and see
9:07
again we've signed in our account here
9:09
so it should just take us to the video
9:11
and i'll apologize oh there we go get an
9:14
ad because we don't have premium on this
9:15
account either
9:16
skip ad um i think that works
9:23
click the thing once and it looks like
9:25
we can
9:26
yeah you can scrub and then we can move
9:29
around
9:30
closed captioning look at the channel
9:33
4k um do different qualities here i
9:37
think this is a 1440 monitor
9:40
thumbs up thumbs down all that kind of
9:41
stuff
9:45
but we hit it again and you just get to
9:46
play pause we can jump forward in the
9:48
video
9:51
pretty nice again if you're sitting down
9:52
on the couch and you're wanting to watch
9:54
something
9:54
bring this up boom go into your
9:56
interface hit home
9:58
good to go so let's try this out
10:02
show me videos from chrome unboxed
10:09
and boom there we got videos from chrome
10:11
unboxed now i can just navigate and
10:12
choose which one i want to see
10:14
pretty awesome there presumably you'll
10:17
be able to play video
10:18
music all that kind of stuff just from
10:20
using the assistant but you can see up
10:22
top here
10:22
you also have a breakdown of just movies
10:24
of just shows
10:26
then you have apps this is android tv
10:28
skinned android tv after all so
10:30
when we start going down we'll probably
10:32
went into some games
10:33
uh yeah so let's uh let's give red ball
10:37
four a go
10:38
[Music]
10:44
and again red ball 4 isn't pushing any
10:46
extremes when it comes to
10:48
uh running video games so again don't
10:50
expect too much we're obviously going to
10:52
test it and see what we can get away
10:54
with on this thing
10:55
but red ball 4 is something that runs on
10:57
like the the fire tv sticks and stuff
10:59
like that it does not require a whole
11:01
lot of processing power
11:02
so i wouldn't uh i wouldn't read too
11:05
much into this here
11:06
but you know runs like you'd expect
11:11
so for fans of uh of red ball you can
11:13
get your red ball on
11:15
with google tv uh and it runs like you'd
11:18
expect
11:19
so we'll go back home and again you're
11:21
just in this oops
11:23
did not mean to click that sorry uh you
11:25
know you're in this interface that you
11:27
can move around so quickly
11:28
uh and so fluidly it's it's running
11:31
really really well
11:32
and so that's a very encouraging thing
11:35
um one other note i've noticed already
11:37
is moving around
11:38
so the volume rocker buttons and stuff i
11:40
think all of that stuff is going to be
11:42
tied to the ir blaster until we go
11:43
through and you know kind of prepare
11:45
this for a review
11:46
i won't i won't be able to tell you that
11:48
for sure but uh like the source change
11:50
button down here and power button and
11:51
all that stuff
11:52
i think that stuff for in the early
11:54
setup you can choose to set up some
11:55
other things like your tv your sound bar
11:57
stuff like that so
11:59
as it stands right now there's no system
12:01
audio it doesn't seem on the chromecast
12:03
which
12:03
some people love that some people hate
12:04
that i know it can be really frustrating
12:06
if
12:07
you've got your tv turned up but the
12:08
chromecast wasn't turned up and
12:10
the cast session was down and the tv
12:12
like it can get confusing so
12:13
it seems like the chromecast is
12:15
outputting one signal here's our audio
12:17
at full blast it's a flat signal and you
12:20
know your your television or whatever
12:21
can handle the volume i think that's
12:23
probably a better way to go about it but
12:25
obviously as we go through and spend
12:26
some more time with this thing and try
12:27
to figure out okay how do all these
12:29
buttons work
12:30
how's it going to work with televisions
12:32
and sound bars
12:33
what games can you get away with playing
12:35
on it what's it going to be like trying
12:36
to side load stadia on here
12:38
until it's official and g-force now
12:40
there's a ton of questions and a ton of
12:41
things that
12:42
i think we might be able to do with this
12:44
thing but ultimately what google wants
12:46
you to do is pick this remote up
12:47
move around your interface pick stuff
12:49
and watch it and use the assistant to
12:51
call up things and
12:52
we can go and tell you already right now
12:54
it does a great job of those things and
12:56
for that
12:57
the chromecast with google tv looks like
13:00
it's going to be a really really
13:01
promising piece of hardware from google
13:03
and i think at a 50
13:04
price point they're really going to kill
13:07
it uh this
13:08
this fall as we move into the holiday
13:10
season but for now
13:11
that's it for this one if you liked it
13:13
give it a thumbs up go down there and
13:14
hit that subscribe button make sure and
13:16
hit the notification bell as well if
13:17
you'd like to be alerted when we make
13:19
future videos
13:20
like the full review of this thing or
13:22
all kinds of other stuff that we're
13:23
going to try
13:24
and test with the chromecast with google
13:26
tv but guys that's it
13:28
until next time we'll see
13:34
you
