Chromecast vs Amazon Fire TV Stick UK review

Chromecast vs Amazon Fire TV Stick UK review, which is the better of the two?

[@ThisHolyCow]

Hey man! Really enjoying the videos. I love your method of reviewing, creating perfect summaries that give the information I want (not "get this because it's better" you actually say "get this for this and this is better for this"). Also production is excellent and I've definitely subscribed!

+Harry Johnson thanks man, new chromecast 2 and chromecast audio on the way once I get them delivered!

Casting (unlike mirroring) with the Chromecast allows you to use your phone or table for something else once video starts to play on your TV. Chromecast can also play and mirror stuff from a PC. Advantage of the The Fire is it is more powerful and some people may prefer a remote, although phones and tablets are easier to type on when searching for stuff on youtube etc.

[@thegadgetdude]

True some good points, both devices have their advantages, suppose it's just down to personal preference at the end of the day.

Actually, when steaming Netflix, KZbin, and the like, Chromecast doesn't actually pull from your device. It works independently and your device is just a remote for it.

i got the cromecast it was fine for like 3 days then starting kicking me out of movie and was shutting off now i have the fire stick hope it works better

[@EatThisGrenade]

Brilliant video mate, keep it up. Liked and subbed :)

I know I'm 5 years late but I'm thinking of getting a chromecast but the version 3

[@dancemusic70]

I was siding towards chromecast. Your review has made my mind up 👍👍👍

[@jeskasaska]

Great video! These things are really cool, because they basically convert your ordinary TV into a smart TV. I own a smart TV, and I realized that they both (mostly Fire TV Stick) do the same thing. Also, I love that they're very cheap...

[@thegadgetdude]

Yeah they're great for older tv's, but I agree I probably wouldn't get them if my th was already smart!

[@kevybhoy27]

Not a mention of the Fire Stick being able to run the likes of Kodi and the Google Play Store. But there you go.

[@finlat1238]

Does it have google play store?

[@itiselizabeth]

This is great but it hasn't helped me decide at all... Then again, maybe both will release new versions before I actually get around to purchasing one (not high on my priority list atm)

[@itiselizabeth]

+Danny McHale wow, that comment you replied to was from June! we ended up buying a TV that runs android so it came with built in Chromecast and Netflix, iPlayer etc!

[@Mineshack]

Great video as always

[@thegadgetdude]

Thanks!

do you know tbnrfrags? you look just like him if you had a little longer hair.

[@ukp42]

What do you mean by, 'cast' ?

[@thegadgetdude]

Just means to send from the phone so you can cast or 'mirror' your phone display onto your tv.

[@ukp42]

Thank you :)

I feel like a dinosaur

[@MyShowbizName]

Chromecast is wank. Couldn't do anything with it. Much rather have a remote. May get the fire stick.

[@thegadgetdude]

It's pretty good!
