Google Chromecast Ultra Release Date, News & Update: 4K, HDR Features Strong Rival Vs Roku, Amazon? Google Assistant Opens For Developers

Google recently rolled out the new Chromecast Ultra during its Oct. 4 event. Based on reports, the new media streaming product is able to stream a 4K video with HDR image quality and a reasonable price.

The new Google Chromecast Ultra will be offered at a price point of $69, as it heads towards giving a tough competition to Amazon and Roku. Although the 4K video resolution is unlikely to render a notable difference in terms of picture quality as compared to other high-definition visuals, the HDR image quality is reportedly a neat improvement. Moreover, its HDR supports Dolby and HDR10 vision formats.

Google's new and Chromecast Ultra is reported to run the impressive HDR quality and 4K feature. Also, it will also rock an Ethernet port for the users to easily plug in the cable internet in order to have a stronger connection instead of streaming on WiFi. Moreover, the new device is reportedly 1.8 percent better and faster compared to the original Chromecast, given its enhanced WiFi to support the higher-definition streams.

Google Chromecast Ultra is set to go on sale in the US in November and will also be available in 16 countries worldwide. In addition, Google Play Movies will also be launching in November a 4K content that can maximize the function of the new Chromecast Ultra, which is expected to cast a 4K content from YouTube, Netflix and Vudu, Tech Times reported.

Meanwhile, Google's Home-voice controlled speaker is not only inspired by Amazon, it is also reported to challenge the electronic selling company on third-party software developer integration. Considering Amazon's more than 3,000 abilities for Alexa, Google will have to require plenty of buy-in from service providers, publishers and software developers to make the Google Home a better alternative.

Google has also confirmed the release of its project named Actions on Google in December that allows developers to create "Actions" for Google Assistant. Based on reports, these will be available in two types - the Conversation Actions and the Direct Actions, The Verge reported.  Watch Google Chromecast Ultra offers 4K and HDR video streaming for $69
