Technology giant Google on Wednesday launched the new version of its Internet streaming device Chromecast in India for Rs3,399. The company has also introduced Chromecast Audio in India at the same price, which was launched in the US last year.
“With a sleek design, fresh content and an updated app, the new Chromecast will make streaming faster and easier,” Chromecast Partnerships Head Asia Pacific Mickey Kim told reporters here. Chromecast Audio is a new device that plugs into speakers to stream and control radio, podcasts and music over WiFi.
Using Chromecast, users can add smart TV functionality to their television to stream content from video services like YouTube and Netflix. Chromecast is available in 31 countries and about 20 million users globally.
However, the company did not disclose any country-specific data. The devices will be available through marketplaces like Flipkart, Snapdeal and Paytm as well as retailers like Reliance and Croma.
