Its expected to be the first model to support theAV1 codec.
Its also going to be just 1080p, which might seem weird in 2022.
But from where Im standing, a super cheap Chromecast makes a whole lot of sense.
Googles original Chromecast was one of the most influential pieces of hardware of the streaming age.
It was precisely the low price that made the Chromecast work.
But the streaming market is different now.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Over the years, Ive bought several Chromecasts on a whim.
Sometimes, it was to show friends and family a new favorite TV show.
It also made for a neat little stocking stuffer.
