We will call this a tie, mostly because the Fire TV stick is cheaper and still able to hold its own against the godfather of Android TV boxes. Performance-wise, both streamers are bang for the buck. You can scroll navigate just fine using Bluetooth, but to control volume, you need to be in the TV’s line of sight for the IR blaster.

Also, the 1080p picture output doesn’t do the Fire TV stick any favors either. What with the 2GB RAM to the Fire TV stick’s 1GB and Bluetooth and an IR blaster where the Fire TV stick has just Bluetooth. On paper, Chromecast with Google TV does have more souped-up specs than the Fire TV stick. The Chromecast’s boot-time struggles don’t impede its buttery smooth performance one bit.

These are third-world sign-in problems we face when we live outside the US.Īlso, it’s quite galling that Amazon has to email me every time I download an app. It was only on the second try and a strong mug of African tea that the powers that be deemed my information good enough to let me in. Perhaps owing to my clumsiness, but I got two Amazon accounts locked while trying to add my VISA card. On a smartphone, everything is much more streamlined and cuts down the setup process by more than half. I didn’t have to go clickity-clack on the remote to set up my password, set up my Amazon account, and what-not. Armed with the Google Home app, setting new devices is simply a breeze. The Fire TV stick stands no chance against the sheer scale of Google/Android’s ecosystem. When it comes to setup, the Chromecast takes this one hands-down. Winner: Amazon Fire TV stick Setup and Ease of Use Only the Roku Streaming Stick loads faster of the TV boxes I had on hand. At 35.83 seconds, the Fire TV stick loads faster, has a better animation booting up with accompanying sound, and populates its apps quickly enough to be impressive. The Fire TV stick fared much better in comparison. Of the Android TV boxes I have used and reviewed, the Chromecast is the slowest.
And true to form, the Chromecast took a whopping 50.6 seconds to boot up as we fiddled our fingers in anticipation. From what know of Android’s Go apps, they run on devices with entry-level specs.
I did get a message that installing Fire OS updates might require connection to a socket but it still went ahead and installed just fine.īoot time We noticed that on boot up, the Chromecast with Google TV identifies as Chromecast Go. The Fire TV stick is minimalistic enough that juice from a TV USB port is enough to power it up without issue. The Chromecast with Google TV is more power-hungry than its predecessors and hence draws power straight from a socket. The Fire TV stick one-ups the Chromecast when it comes to power usage. That said the flash drive shape offers more durability than the cable on the Chromecast that could sustain damage and ruin the role setup. The stick will undoubtedly decommission other HDMI ports that are often crammed into a small area on the TV unless you plug in the HDMI extender first. Given its clunky shape, the Fire TV stick comes with a separate HDMI extender. And you don’t get to store anything on it either, as its not its intended purpose.ĭesign-wise, it’s too close to call. It looks like an over large flash drive but instead of a Type A connector, you get HDMI in all its glory. The big G logo is engraved in the center keeping in line with previous Chromecast devices.Īs for the Amazon Fire TV stick, it went quite literal with this one. DesignĬhromecast with Google TV went with a palm-sized pebble design with a short HDMI cable attached along with a USB C port.
We have pitted it against the modest Amazon Fire TV stick and the results are in. Now that the Chromecast is no different from other Android TV boxes, let the games begin.
