bulbul Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Not sure which thread to ask this but anyone here use Chromecast here ( in India)? Is it worth buying ?

Gambit Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Not sure which thread to ask this but anyone here use Chromecast here ( in India)? Is it worth buying ? Excellent device in my opinion. You can stream any video file format from your computer on to your tv through this. Much smaller than competitors such as Apple TV etc as well.

If yes, then it would not be a great experience as internet speed (at least in my area) isn't all that great :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detonator Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 ^ My suggesstion. LG - G3 Beat - It's is a very good choice. Can rival the flagships easily. Microsoft Lumia - Best phone under 10k. Samsung - S4 Lite, Grand Neo, Note 3 Neo - All with even more crappy exynos chipsets. No matter what the shop guy bluffs, please stay away.

Crookbond Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Not sure which thread to ask this but anyone here use Chromecast here ( in India)? Is it worth buying ? Since you use Netflix, YES. You can use proxy IF you stream content from your Android phone, tablet, iPhone®, iPad®, Mac® or Windows® laptop, or Chromebook i.e. you can play the content on your device and use the chrome cast to project it on the screen. The chrome cast itself has apps and a browser but I doubt the VPN/proxy would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalia_Test Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 camera and battery backup is really good. I don't find any difference in the UHD display' date=' as it looks like the 1080p resolution. The navigation buttons are in the backside below the camera as shown in the pic, they are a bit awkward. Need to get used to them.[/quote'] I have G3...agree that it looks like 1080p but that is because we don't have many higher resolution videos/pics available but check the sample videos provided with your handset ( will be in sample videos folder or something like that) - you will be bowled over by the UHD - way way better than full HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
