Televisions are becoming smarter with every new feature that is being introduced. Most smart TVs these days ship with Google services including both Google Assistant and Chromecast built-in. Earlier both the features were limited only to Android TVs.
As the name suggests, Google Assistant is a voice assistant that lets a user perform hands-free tasks and provide a smarter viewing experience. With this feature, users can discover movies, tv shows by just giving voice command or saying ‘Hey Google’. They can also control the playback, check weather updates on TV and even control smart home devices. The Google Assistant feature can be accessed via a remote control that comes with a dedicated mic button.
Coming to the built-in Chromecast feature, it is similar to Bluetooth connectivity and Apple’s AirPlay. Chromecast is a feature that enables sending media files from a handheld device on to the TV screen. If the TV comes with built-in Chromecast, it can receive content sent by phone or tablet without the need for a dongle or connected cables. In simple words, users can stream or ‘cast’ content wirelessly
