Chromecast 3 vs Chromecast 2: How is it different?
Compared to Chromecast 2, the Chromecast 3 has better Wi-Fi reception. The Antenna gain has been improved from 2.1 dBi to 4dBi, or almost 50 percent. The Chromecast 3 is also supposed to show 15 percent performance improvement over Chromecast 2.
Also, the glossy plastic of the puck has been replaced by a matte finish exterior.
Just as the second generation dongle, the Chromecast 3 supports Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4GHz/5Ghz) and can stream 1080p at up to 60fps. An upcoming software update will also enable the Chromecast 3 to sync music with other Google Home Devices. It has also been designed to work with Google Assistant
