Google has silently unveiled its Chromecast 3 streaming device in India. Surprisingly, the new device appeared on Flipkart carrying a tag of “Sold Out” but however it is now available on the same Flipkart website from today 24th October starting mid-night.
Just for a reminder, the Chromecast 3 was showcased by Google along with the other Pixel devices in New York. The Chromecast 3 is designed similarly like its previous iteration and now this time it is furnished with a matte finish, the ‘G’ logo at the centre and a built-in HDMI cable. Unfortunately, the device does not contain a USB Type-C which was expected and the company has decided to manufacture it with the micro-USB cable.
