Our quick take
Chromecast 2 - 4.5 / 5
Chromecast 2 review: What the puck is that?

Chromecast 2 review: No TV interface

Chromecast 2 review: Universal search is uh-mazing
Chromecast 2 review: Be social with split-screen gaming
To recap
The new Chromecast isn’t a set-top box replacement. You’ll just use it to quickly fling Netflix or YouTube videos from your mobile device to your TV in 1080p. And since that video data is pulled from the cloud and not your phone, you won’t have to worry about losing precious battery life.
