Google’s Chromecast Ultra arrives in November for $69

Alongside the Pixel and Pixel XL flagship smartphones, Google also announced a new Chromecast with 4K streaming and High Dynamic Range (HDR) support: Chromecast Ultra.

The Ultra version is similar to last year’s HD Chromecast in appearance, but it’s done with the Chrome branding this time. The processor inside is 1.8x faster than the non-Ultra model, and the Ethernet port integrated connects directly to a router, along with notable Wi-Fi improvements.

Google will begin selling Chromecast Ultra in November for $69, about double the price of last year’s device, from the Google Store, Walmart, Best Buy and Target, as well as from international retailers.
