Two week impressions with the Moto 360 2nd gen
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Motorola’s Android Wear-toting Moto 360 smartwatch is the watch the started it all about a year and a half ago. It was easily the watch to lust over and own. Now we have the much anticipated 2nd gen, or 2015, model from Motorola. While the changes are light years ahead of the competition, the changes with internal hardware, external looks and options certainly make it the next big Android Wear success from Motorola.
Over the last two weeks I have been given the opportunity to give the new Moto 360 a test run. To see how it performs, how it feels and how it fits into my life. Also, up until now I personally saw Android Wear, and any other platform that put a touch screen on my wrist, as unnecessary. That didn’t mean I didn’t think it was pretty cool. I also read plenty of complaints from end users over battery life, cracked backs, sluggish performance and various other issues that kept me at bay from wanting to get one. That also means the the Moto 360 2nd gen (2015) is my first true experience with Android Wear.

Critical design changes:
Not owning or using the first gen Moto 360 leaves me at a bit of a disadvantage compared to other reviewers out there. I do work in a retail store with a dummy unit and a number of associates have been kind enough to chime in with a few images for reference. The two most notable changes to the design from the 1st gen to the second gen are size options and how bands attach.
The Moto 360 now comes in two different housing sizes with three different watch band sizes. You have the Men’s 46mm housing which uses 22mm watch bands, a Men’s 42mm housing which uses a 20mm watch band and a Woman’s 42mm housing which uses a 16mm watch band. I chose the larger 46mm housing for my experience, even though I have smaller, more girlie wrists.
The physical size changes are accompanied by a more traditional watch band attachment set of arms that taper down off the housing. The previous model tucked the band up under the watch which resulted in a number of complaints and issues of stress fractures on the backside of the watch. The arms not only remove this issue, but make it extremely simple to change out bands.
Motorola also relocated the physical button that is found on the right hand side of the housing. Instead of sitting dead center it is now off set towards the top. Pressing the button when you need to feels natural with your index finger.
They also moved the mic hole closer to the bottom instead of dead center on the opposite side as well. I am sure this helps with recognition of your voice, but it also just makes more sense as it now faces your mouth directly.
Battery life:
Battery life is always a major concern for end users. Be it on your phone, tablet or smartwatch. We want our hard earned money to spent on products that not only do what we need or want them to do, but that can also keep up with our daily lives. The battery issues that plagued the first generation watches were resolved, for the most part, by software updates. However, they were still very much at the back of my mind when I gave the watch its first charge as my days are typically a lot longer than many. Motorola claims the 46mm variant will deliver 2 days of mixed use Ambient mode off and up to a full day of mixed use with Ambient mode on. Generally my days start at 6:30 a.m. and end between midnight and 1 a.m. Naturally I was concerned with the Moto 360 getting me through my day.
The first full day of use was on a Saturday and it started a bit later than usual, about 9 a.m. I left everything on, ambient mode (always-on screen), motion gestures, auto brightness and Wi-Fi. I also left all my notifications on. Well, at least calls, texts, hangouts, emails, G+ and whatever else is on by default. To my surprise I went to bed that evening around midnight with 68% battery remaining on the Moto 360.
The trend continued over the last two weeks. Many weekdays starting at 6:30 and ending around the same time, midnight or 1 a.m. There was not a single day that I ran into a dead watch before I was ready to call it a day. The most depleted I ever say the battery was 38% and that was because I showed it to a ton of people and did a ton of searches, commands and some navigation.
My battery concerns dropped to near zero when I placed it on the charging cradle and saw how fast it charged up. Going from 50% to 100% in just over an hour. Granted, the device uses a wireless charging cradle which could still leave you in a pickle if you didn’t bring it with you, or don’t have a second wireless charging cradle, or pad at the office or your friends house. Still, it is small enough to be portable. The added perk, it is Qi compatible so you could use just about any other Qi wireless charging pad in a pinch.
While it charges it also offers up a digital clock along with its power level. There is a battery level ring that goes around the face so you can see how how power you have as well as a percentage listed. Makes for a nice little bedside clock while powering up for the next day. Motorola also offers up the docked clock mode in a variety of colors. Simply swipe across the screen to flip through other color options. You can also change it through Moto Connect if you would rather. I personally like the blue, but there is green, red, yellow and purple.
I can see it easily lasting the mixed use claim of 2 days with Ambient mode off, pulling back to priority notifications only and disabling the gesture mode like turning the screen on when you bring it up to look at it. Often times it will light up simply by turning the wheel when driving.
User experience
My understanding of Android Wear is that it is pretty much the same experience across all devices. They have access to many of the same apps and even watch faces. Motorola has the distinct addition of Moto Body as well as Moto Connect. The Moto Connect app offers up additional watch faces, Dock Mode, location settings and other related apps for your watch. The watch faces are designs from Motorola and are the same ones you can choose from when you create your watch through Moto Maker. Each one can be customized from the watch or from the app on your phone. you can alter colors and other aspects like clickable dials and things. It is very easy to use and user friendly.
Glancing at notification, swiping around the various screens and using actionable commands takes a little getting used to, but is fairly convenient. Android Wear is really all about the voice, not so much the touch interaction. While it still exists, much of what you will end up doing will require you to speak out loud to it, or open something on your phone from the watch. The speaking aspect is what takes the most getting used to if you don’t do it frequently with your phone now. I rarely used voice to search for anything, respond to messages, set reminders, play music or anything else. I am still “that” guy who does it all on my device. Since the Moto 360 is so voice centric to do things, I was forced more to start giving commands. I still feel a bit silly talking out loud to get things done, set and started, but it works damn near perfectly. More so the experience of seeing calls, text and other notifications at a glace is pleasurable and non intrusive to your daily routine.
Laggy?
The first gen Moto 360 was said to have a large amount off lag when doing various things on the watch. Some described it as unbearable, others said it was tolerable but left a bad taste in their mouth and prevented them from using the watch to its full potential. The new version of the watch has been met with less complaints and is said to be drastic improvement over the first edition. Not having the first one to compare against, I can only assume that the majority of users out there are speaking the truth. I can’t say here is no lag at all as there are times where I see it stutter or slow up on a transition. it isn’t 100% smooth as butter, but it doesn’t make things unusable. I do find myself jumping the gun on the “OK Google” command and not giving it enough time to start recognizing what I want to say. Mostly because I am used to hearing the tone on the phone that lets me know Google is listening and you don’t get that with the watch. Once you get the timing down though, it isn’t an issue.
Overall thoughts from two weeks
From all the reviews and thoughts I have read from multiple sources, the conclusion seems to be the same: The new Moto 360 is more powerful, manages battery better, is snappier, looks amazing and offers up more design options to personalize how it looks than any other competitor. While this is my first Android Wear experience long term, I have to say, when I look at photos and dummy units of what else is out there, I am inclined to agree.
The watch looks great for any occasion and certainly draws some attention. Having a second screen that doesn’t require you to hold it frees up your hands to do other things. Having access to things like Google Keep, your agenda, your fitness and more keeps my phone from needing to be pulled out which alleviates screen on time and unnecessary battery drain. I think, while Motorola didn’t drastically change things, that they did a great job with the things they did change. It really is a compliment to your daily digital life.
If you are hesitant on buying into the smartwatch game because you don’t see the purpose in your life, you are really missing out on the convenience factor that one can bring to you. Especially one that looks this good and is so easy to use.
Personal notes:
- Be prepared to touch it ALOT. I find myself constantly staring at my wrist now and just ‘looking’ at the screen for no real reason. I also find myself flipping through the same notifications and not dismissing them just to do it.
- Be prepared to show it ALOT. While most people won’t immediately notice that you are wearing a smartwatch, the instant you get a call, text or notification the eyes will drift to your wrist. You could be a jackass and ignore the looks and interest, or you could stike up a conversation. I tend to strike up a conversation and set myself useless reminders to show how it works.
- Grab some different straps. I opted for the bare bones basic configurations of the Moto 360 with a black on black look. The black leather strap that comes as part of your purchase is nice, but isn’t ‘me’, if you know what I mean. It looks fine, keeps the watch on your wrist and works, but the way it flexes and creases drove me batty. You can opt for metal bands from Motorola for $50 in 3 colors.If you aren’t looking to spend the extra there are plenty of other options out there. Since the watch sports a standard 22mm watch band your options are only limited by your budget. I ran a search on Amazon and picked up an inexpensive black metal band that still offered the quick release system to make switching easy. It might not be the best one on the market, but it looks good with the black watch and fits well.
- Pay attention to your apps. Just like apps for your phone, some Android Wear watch faces or apps will do more harm than good. Don’t go hog wild the first week installing every watchface you see. Some don’t offer good looking Ambient display modes, some don’t offer ambient display modes at all and others are battery hogs that will give you a bad experience. Install 1 or 2 at a time and see how they look and run. If they drain quicker then uninstall them immediately and reboot the watch to get rid of it entirely.
I am certain that I am missing out on a lot more uses and capabilities. Hopefully I touched on things that others might have wondered about or questions though. I will do a few other small posts in the near future on how easy it is to change watch bands, change watch faces and check your activities with Moto Body. Until then, go get your order placed for the new Moto 360 through Moto Maker. Unless you are anti-watch, you will be pleased.

Best Nexus 6P cases
The Nexus 6P is one of the most anticipated phones of 2015. Featuring a big 5.7-inch Quad HD display, super loud front-facing speakers, Android 6.0 Marshmallow and an all-metal unibody design, this high-end Nexus phone is certainly an attractive device. Just because it’s made mostly of metal, though, that doesn’t mean the device is impervious to bumps and scratches. Thankfully, that’s where a good case can come in.
We’ve rounded up some of the best cases you can buy for the Nexus 6P and listed them below in no particular order. It should also be noted that since the Nexus 6P just came out, not many cases are available for the device at the moment. We’ve listed the release dates for each case and attached Amazon links as well, so you can get your hands on these accessories the day they become available.

There may not be any fancy features here, but you do get a solid case that helps protect your Nexus 6P from drops, scrapes and scratches. Pricing isn’t on the lowest spectrum, but $20 isn’t a bad asking price by any means.
Verus High Pro Shield Case
The Verus High Pro Shield case offers tons of protection and doesn’t sacrifice looks in any way. It’s made of high-grade TPU and polycarbonate and features a TPU lip to protect the device from short drops and scratches.

The TUDIA Ultra Slim case is a pretty simple looking case, though it is still a reasonably attractive one at that. It’s made of a high-quality TPU material and gives the case a nice soft touch feel.

Check out these 9 Qi wireless chargers to keep you powered up

Samsung recently announced that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ would be the first to support a new, faster wireless charging standard. This new technology can charge your Note 5 and S6 Edge+ at twice the rate (10W vs 5W)! If you don’t have a phone that supports the new standard, this pad will still charge it as fast as possible. I have one of these pads and it’s a real game changer. Now I don’t have to choose between quick charging and charging ,y phone conveniently.
Choetech offers two different packages with it’s fast charging pad. You can buy just the pad and it’ll run you $34.99, or you can buy the charging pad and the quick charge 2.0 wall adapter for $44.99. You’ll need one of these adapters to get the most out of this pad, so if you don’t have one we recommend getting the more expensive package. If you want to spend another couple of dollars, you can grab this Omaker wall adapter that supports quick charge and has an additional USB port so you can charge a second device as well. All of these come with free Prime Shipping.

Oh look, DROID Turbo 2 accessories show some device designs
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Verizon has a knack for taking a perfectly good thing and twisting it into a carrier exclusive. I can say the same thing about a number of carriers. However, that device exclusive list has certainly shrunk over the years. The second generation of the DROID Turbo 2 is close at hand with an expected announcement slated for October 27th. While there have been a number of leaked images and specs regarding the device, it never hurts to toss out a few more when we come across them. Apparently accessory manufacturer Qmadix has a few accessory items ‘coming soon’ that show the DROID Turbo 2’s front again and a bit of the back mixed with button locations. Not super exciting, but something none the less.
The launch should be good for Motorola since the 2015 Moto X Pure edition is sticking to a direct to customer sales approach. With a monster sales force and a huge advertising budget I expect the DROID Turbo 2 to bring in a lot of sales for big red and Motorola.

Magellan announces eXplorist TRX7, an off-road GPS system running Android
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
GPS/Navigation system manufacturer, Magellan, has announced a new unit for consumers who prefer the off-road experience via ATV’s, UTV’s 4X4’s and other off-road vehicles. Running Android 4.2, the eXplorist TRX7 brings the power of the trail community to palm of your hand. The TRX7 comes preloaded with 44,000 designated OHV routes from forest and public lands. You can also roll in freestyle mode with “Track Me” to blaze your own trail and easily find your way back to where you started.
Magellan’s detailed off-road maps feature:
• High resolution 3D Terrain
• 2D Topo base map & contour elevation lines
• National and State Parks and Recreational Vehicle Areas
• National and State service roads and trails
• Ever expanding crowd-sourced Trails
• Food, Gas, Lodging, and General Service POIs
• 3rd Party Trail Guides
Magellan added in a number of features and functions that dedicated trail riders are sure to find useful. Those who like to share their rides on social outlets, the TRX7 has your back there too. The device connects to Wi-Fi, which includes using your phone as a hotspot if accessible, and allows you to share your ride to Facebook or Twitter with a tap of a # tag.
“Magellan’s new eXplorist TRX7 is the most fully-loaded, affordable and purpose-built off-road navigator for adventuring,” commented Stig Pedersen, associate vice president of product management for Magellan. “Whether you want to navigate the classic trails, or want to create your own adventures, the Magellan eXplorist TRX7 stands ready to help you traverse some of the most rugged terrain.”
Hardware wise the TRX7 measures in at 5.2″ x 8.7″ x .67″ inches and weighs 21.16oz. It packs in a rechargeable battery that keeps you on track for up to 8 hours at a time and is IP67 water-resistant rated. Internal storage is set at 16GB, but it carries a micro SD card slot to add upto 64GB more. Most of which will be for your trail ride data, tracks and saved/planned excursions, but also leaves lots of room for more outdoor map updates in the future. The screen measures in at 7-inches with a resolution of 1024 x 600. The unit is powered by a dual core cortex-A9 processor and 1GB of RAM. Along with the aforementioned Wi-Fi connection the TRX7 also offer Bluetooth connectivity. Which is probably great for pairing with your helmets internal speakers. Although, I am not sure the TRX7 has a way to play any tunes to your brain while you ride, it most likely will give your verbal directions.
Magellan has the device listed with a complete run down of features and specs on their website with a retail price tag of $599.99.

Check out these 8 great cases for the LG G4
The LG G4 is one of the best phones on the market this year. It’s fast, fluid and has a removable back and battery. Today we’re going to take a look at some cases for the LG G4 that make it look even better or add functionality (Qi Wireless Charging!) without adding a bunch of bulk to the phone. And you won’t have to worry about getting dinged for shipping since everything on our list ships free!
Yootech Quick Circle Case with Qi Wireless Charging
The LG G4 is feature packed, but one of the biggest missing features is wireless charging. As someone who loves Qi Wireless Charging, this was huge for me. At first I tried installing a Qi Antenna into my phone and it worked really well, although installation can be a bit of a pain. But if you’re looking for a folio case anyway, this Yootech case should be at the top of your list. Not only do you get Qi Wireless charging, but you also get the excellent Quick Circle functionality in the G4 that will let you do things like answer calls and look at text messages without opening up the case.
Not only does this case look good, it adds a bunch of functionality too. It protects the body of your phone from drops and falls and the folio cover protects the screen from scratches too. You can pick up this great case in one of three colors for only $13.99 with free Prime Shipping.
Product Link: Yootech Quick Circle Case with Qi Wireless Charging
i-Blason Halo Series
If you’re looking for a minimal case i-Blason has your back. The Halo Series bumper is a barely there case that focuses on protecting that beautiful leather backing or dimpled design battery cover while still showing off their design. There is a raised lip to protect your phone when face down and the anti-scratch material means that the case can take a licking and keep on looking great. The Halo case is slim and has a low profile, but is also incredibly light, coming in at .3 ounces.
You can pick up the i-Blason Halo Series case in one of one of four colors for only $12.99 with free Prime Shipping.
Product Link: i-Blason Halo Series
Diztronic Full Matte Soft Touch Case
Anyone who knows me can tell you how big of a fan I am of matte black. I think it looks fantastic without sticking out in a crowd. The Diztronic Full Matte Soft Touch Case is one of my all time favorite cases for exactly that reason. It comes in a sexy Matte Black but you can also pick it up in Matte Charcoal Gray or Matte Navy Blue. The Navy Blue has a distinct purple tint to it, but don’t let that scare you off guys, it looks great. The Matte covering helps prevent fingerprints from showing up on your case, and the case will fit both leather and ceramic battery covers that come on the LG G4.
The Diztronic Full Matte Soft Touch Case measures in at only 1.6mm which means it is incredibly thin and it’s made out Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) which means it’s flexible but durable at the same time. You can pick up this sexy case in one of three colors for only $9.89 with free Prime Shipping.
Product Link: Diztronic Full Matte Soft Touch Case
Caseology Daybreak Series
Caseology simply makes great phone cases and the Daybreak series for the LG G4 is no exception. If you’re not as big of a matte black fan as I am, but you want a case like the Diztronic Full Matte Soft Touch Case we talked about, this could be the case for you. The Daybreak series is a bit more of a glossy option that is made out of the same TPU material so it’s durable and flexible too. There is a lip over the front of the front of the screen to protect your screen in case of falls and a focus on making sure all ports and buttons are easily accessible.
You can pick up the Caseology Daybreak Series in one of 35(!!) colors and designs for $9.99 with free Prime Shipping.
Product Link: Caseology Daybreak Series
JD Slim Cushion
JD is a new company to our list, but from the looks of it, they know what they’re doing. Their Slim Cushion cases are a very slim TPU rubber skin. This design makes it one of the slimmest options on the list. The Slim Cushion case is more an option for those who want to add grip and protect against scratches and scrapes, rather than a case with lots of protection from falling. Like the Halo Series from i-Blason, the JD Slim Cushion case is only .3 ounces, so this barely there case adds zero bulk to your case while making it easier to hold and more fashionable.
You can pick up the JD Slim Cushion case in one of 4 colors for as low as $7.95 with free Prime Shipping.

CasesByLorraine Wood Print Hard Case
Wood cases are all the rage, but if you don’t feel like shelling out upwards of of $20 for a wood case, you may want to check out this Wood Print Hard Case by CasesByLorraine. I’m not sure who Lorraine is but she sure knows how to make a nice case. The hard shell case is pretty light since it’s actually a hard plastic case that is designed to look like wood. There are 20 different designs to choose from ranging from simple to complicated that will definitely make your phone a conversation piece.
This CasesByLorraien Wood Print Hard Case is only $8.99 and comes with free shipping. If you like the look of this case but want real wood, check out the Natural Bamboo Case by kwmobile.

Verus Layered Dandy Series Wallet Case
Classy, simple, beautiful. These are the three words that immediately come to mind when I see the Verus Layered Dandy Series Wallet Case. This elegantly designed case looks like real leather, but won’t cost you real leather prices. The case is designed to be as snug as possible, so this won’t work with the leather backings that come on some LG G4s. If you want to pick up a replacement back you can check out this one for pretty cheap.
This Wallet Case has one thing that most lack: a magnetic clip. In my opinion, Wallet Cases should stay closed unless you intentionally open them up. What is the point of protecting the screen with one of these cases, if it’s just going to fly open if you drop it? Verus does it right here. You can also slip three cards in the case for going out on the town, or if you feel like going without a wallet for the day. This is one of the best wallet cases out there.
You can pick up the Verus Layered Dandy Series Wallet Case for $20.99 in Coffee Brown, Black or Wine Red. As always, shipping is free.
Product Link: Verus Layered Dandy Series Wallet Case
ULAK Shockproof Rubber Case
ULAK is another newbie on our list, but this case really stands out if you want a combination of protection and a design that will stand out. There are 9 color combinations and designs for the Shockproof Rubber case, but they all have one thing in common: fantastic drop protection. These cases will add a little but of bulk to the G4, but since the phablet is already a two hander, it shouldn’t matter that much. The 3-1 design features a soft inner shell, hard outer case and bumper to make sure your phone never even knows it’s been dropped.
You can pick up the ULAK Shockrpoof Rubber case is one of 9 designs for as low as $8.99 with free Prime Shipping
Product Link: ULAK Shockproof Rubber Case
Other favorites that didn’t make the list: Spigen Neo Hybrid, Caseology Wavelength, Maxboost Vibrance Series, SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle, OEAGO Rugged Case

The Pebblebee Stone wants to add IFTTT buttons into your life
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
The IFTTT (If this, then that) revolution has slowly been making inroads into lives around the world, and there are people that live and die by the convenience of such gadgets and apps. The latest gadget that wants to be added to that list is the Pebblebee Stone – not to be confused with Pebble of smartwatch fame. Like Pebble, however, Pebblebee is seeking Kickstarter funding for its Stone project which offers simple IFTTT functionality through a cute little remote dongle which has a single button, and rather intuitively, looks like a stone.
Using the Pebblebee app, you’ll be able to customize the function of your Stone (or Stones) to whatever you find most convenient. At the time of writing, the $10,000 USD target has already been eclipsed and currently sits at $36,646, a few thousand shy of the $40,000 stretch goal where everyone gets a sleeve for their Stone.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/192833321/pebblebee-stone-a-smart-wireless-shortcut-button/widget/video.htmlA single Stone can be had for $30 USD, whereas a pair of them will cost $50 – a slight discount. If you go up to 8 Stones, you’ll get even more of a discount at $145 (that’s about $18 a Stone). If that sounds like the kind of action you want in on, we’ve got the Kickstarter project link down below.

Chromecast 2015 and Chromecast Audio Review
Along with the new flagship Nexus smartphones, the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X, Google also unveiled an updated version of the Chromecast HDMI dongle, boasting a new look, multiple color options, and of course, faster hardware and enhancements on the software side of things. That wasn’t the only media streaming device Google launched either, with the company also taking the wraps off Chromecast Audio, which lets you make use of almost any set of speakers out there to cover your audio needs.
Do these new media products remain as compelling an option as the original Chromecast was? We find out, in this Chromecast 2015 and Chromecast Audio review!

Like the original Chromecast, the latest edition can also directly be plugged into your television or other display via the HDMI port, and requires only a quick initial setup before you are good to go. The Chromecast 2015 does look very different when compared to its predecessor, and at first, there were some concerns with regards to space, but those are all gone now thanks to the revamped design.
Although it may look a bit odd when compared to its predecessor, the new Chromecast does wonders for saving space behind the television. The new design now keeps the dongle away from any walls that could be right behind your TV, which the original Chromecast might have otherwise pressed up against. Additionally, if you have multiple cords plugged into the back of your TV and happen to be short on space, the new Chromecast was designed to fix this problem. The dongle portion of the Chromecast is pretty slim, so if things are at all cluttered, you’ll still be able to plug in your Chromecast without a hitch.
If you’re not short on space, though, the new Chromecast is also magnetic, so you can attach it to itself to stop if from dangling.
Chromecast Audio essentially features the same concept behind the Chromecast, but is an audio-only device. This is the kind of device that you can plug into almost any set of speakers that are lying around, which can then be used as a full-fledged audio streaming service, giving new purpose to any old, regular speakers that you may have. As mentioned, the Chromecast Audio has the same puck design as the Chromecast 2015, and doesn’t have anything sticking out of it, because the cable that you use for audio, can be adapted to other formats. What is included is a regular 3.5 mm audio cable, and of course, it has to be externally powered as well, via a wall plug, or any device with an USB port, like a laptop.
Setting up the Chromecast 2015 and Chromecast Audio requires only one thing, an Android or iOS smartphone. You will have to install the Chromecast application, which has also received its own update that introduces an updated design, and quite a few new features. Not only does this app serve as an aggregation system for all of the different applications that are compatible for use with the Chromecast, but it also comes with a robust recommendation feature, pointing you towards any content that you may be interested in.

There is a little bit more to it as well, with you now having the ability to change the backdrop on the Chromecast this time around, with options that only include pictures that you could get from websites like 500px, but also compatibility with Google Newsstand, to allow for a ticker across the screen to keep you up to date with the latest headlines from around the world. The background image feature is a very pleasant addition, and if you are someone who has their television on all the time, it makes for a nice look when you aren’t using the TV with the Chromecast.
There have been improvements on the performance side of things as well, which is expected, given the updated internals that the Chromecast 2015 packs under the hood. Mainly, the wireless signal has been updated from the 2.4 GHz variety to 5 GHz, which does happen to be a little more opened up, and should make things faster when it comes to buffering the content that you are streaming. In our testing, it does seem to do the trick, but while at the presentation during the launch event, it was mentioned that the content would be pre-loaded in the background as you are selecting it, allowing for almost instantaneous streaming, it’s not really something that we have observed.
When testing performance with HBO Now, as far as the original Chromecast was concerned, you’d notice that it had to try buffering again multiple times, and the content tended to get a little bit fuzzy when going to lower resolutions, to keep up with the speed. With the new Chromecast 2015 however, there have been absolutely no issues with HBO Now, with regards to speed or clarity. It is true that 1080p is the upper limit as far as streaming resolution is concerned, but that isn’t much of a big deal, with the majority of televisions other there are still not of the 2K variety at the moment.
Moving on to Chromecast Audio, it is a device that is a little bit more specialized in its usage, and may be something that will not pique the interest of every user. If there was something similar that you were on the lookout for, Chromecast Audio may just be the perfect device for you. If you do have a set of speakers at your disposal that aren’t being used all that much, this audio-centric media streamer is what will help make these speakers viable once again.
Chromecast Audio allows you to have a singular source for streaming music which won’t get interrupted by all of things that your phone would do on the side. You could still do things on your actual device, while the music is playing on the speaker that Chromecast Audio is connected to. The streaming capabilities with the Chromecast Audio also happen to be pretty instantaneous, especially if you are using a music streaming service. If it was only when playing podcasts, when using something like Pocket Casts, that there was some buffering involved, especially if your starting point was later in the podcast.

When using something like Bluetooth speakers, any notifications you receive will interrupt the audio that you are streaming through the speaker, but that is no longer a concern with Chromecast Audio. Audio quality from this device is otherwise standard, possibly a little bit above average. Considering the fact that you will be paying $35 for an audio peripheral device, you can’t really expect it to provide the same quality that a high-quality DAC will provide. It is however, a great option for anyone that has a good set of speakers, and needs them to be as smart as our televisions are, with Chromecast.
Probably the best part about the Chromecast 2015 is that it supports both Android and iOS, which means that most smartphone owners will be able to use it, and with an Android device, you can stream the entire screen to your television. If you don’t have either for any reason, you still have the ability to stream content from your computer using the Google Chrome browser, from which you can stream media from not only all of the different streaming services, but also just a Chrome tab, or even the whole desktop. As far as gaming is concerned, the library is still quite bare, but we still look forward to seeing how this second screen experience on Chromecast might be able to benefit the daily user.
So there you have it for this closer look at the Chromecast 2015 and Chromecast Audio! When compared to the other peripherals out there like Roku TV, Amazon Fire TV, and more, the Chromecast remains one of the cheapest devices available for this kind of content streaming, priced at just $35. Another big plus is the fact that it is pretty easy to use, needing minimal setup, and requiring you to just hit a button in the corner of the application to get going.
