New Chromecast dongle on Android 9 Sony; yes/no

Garnek — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 04:44:25 GMT

My Sony Android TV will not update past 9. Should I connect a new Chromecast 3rd Gen with 12? Is this just cosmetic difference or influences streaming quality?

It's a difference for sure, but don't get a 3rd gen, go for a Chromecast with google tv 4k , worth the price difference, has a UI, and is much more modern than 3rd gen.

hanks! My question was more about if there will be any difference in streaming quality between Android 9 and 12, UI was secondary. Is there a difference?

Ah, I mean the answer is "depending on your usage" really. Frame rate matching on the newer android is a big plus, this elimates stutter and improves the viewing experience. Also with the older android eventually apps will stop supporting streaming and cease working, so yeah I would say it will be quite a big improvement.
