Google had unveiled the 3rd generation Chromecast at its Made By Google event in New York alongside the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL. Now, the tech giant has officially launched the Chromecast 3 in India with a price tag of Rs 3,499. The streaming device which you can connect with your TVs will be available for sale on Indian e-commerce platform Flipkart. However, the Chromecast 3 does not come with UHD or 4K resolution support and the company is yet to launch the 4K variant in the country.

Lets' quickly have a look at the features and specs offered by the Google Chromecast 3:

The Chromecast 3 comes with slight changes over the previous-gen Chromecast. The device features a matte finish body with only the Google logo on it. The device measures 52mm x 52mm and is available in a charcoal color variant. The other major upgrade which the Chromecast 3 brings over the previous-gen Chromecast is that it now supports Full HD video-casting at 60fps or 1080p.

The device is compatible with Android, iOS, Mac and Windows devices. Also, the Chromecast 3 comes with Google Assistant support; this will make it easy to control the device via voice commands. However, there is no built-in microphone, therefore, it must be connected to other Assistant-backed devices to utilize this feature. The connectivity aspects of the Chromecat 3 includes Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.5GHz/5GHz), HDMI port, and a Micro-USB port.

You can also avail various launch offers on the purchase of the 3rd generation Chromecast.
