Not a lot different, but there are spec differences...

https://www.androidpolice.com/chr...-hd-vs-4k/

The new HD version also doesn't support Dolby Vision HDR, but it does come with support for HDR10 and HDR10+. You'll have to check which HDR protocols your specific TV supports to see if that matters for you.

There are also some differences under the hood, but they're not things most users will notice. Thanks to using a different chipset, the 1080p model supports AV1 video decoding — due to hardware differences, the 4K model does not. AV1 is a video codec known to be especially efficient, so the newer 1080p Chromecast might use less bandwidth to stream video. In addition, the 1080p version has less RAM: 1.5GB, whereas the 4K model has 2GB. That sounds like a downgrade, but in our experience, it isn't especially noticeable in normal use.

Storage space, a sore spot for many users of the original 4K Chromecast with Google TV, is also unchanged in the 1080p version. Both come with just 8GB, which can be limiting if you use a lot of different streaming services. Neither model has expandable storage built in, but either one will accept a compatible USB-C hub, so you can add additional storage using a USB-C hub if you need it.

Are the processors and RAM on these HD ones much less than the 4k versions? What's the difference in the hardware specs besides the resolution HD vs 4k?

They're basically giving away the HD versions and they're new. Not seeing any good deals on the 4k version. I don't get why the new version wasn't 4k. Google doesn't make sense a lot of the time.

There was a post for the 4k version for $29 at Walmart, it was bundled with some Funko Pop and was a Walmart exclusive but less than what other merchants were selling just the device for. I'm not sure if it is still going on but it's been going on a for a while and was valid a few days ago when I purchased one.

I think they made the HD version to get a bigger share of the market and cater to those who do not have 4K TVs that may feel they don't need all of that 4K stuff so didn't want to pay up for it ($50 at regular price).

I'm a 4K guy myself, but I've got to say this is an incredible deal.

Great deal just for the remotes, which are ordinarily sold separately for $20ea.

Those specs can be looked up using a search engine. Yes they are different.

Walmart still has their Chromcast 4K/Funko Pop bundle for $29 dollars. Basically cutting $20 off the price in exchange for you having to take a Funko Pop off their hands.

I agree with the Chromecast HD being an odd product though. The only positive is that it supports the AV1 codec. Aside from that it's normally priced higher than Onn's 4K streaming box which makes it a non starter in the United States at least. Google really should have just refreshed the 4K SKU with an Amlogic s905x4 chip to add AV1 support and called it a day.

Can you use Google Play on these and download apps/games that can be used on your tv? Would Youtube Kids work?

Amazon Questions section says just over 3 gig of usable space. So can't store lots of apps if you want to do that. Just as bad as a firestick.
