Vhhbbbhnnbbbnnbnnnnnnnnnnnn nah nah nah
That was an awesome and very thorough side by side comparison. Based on your review of each I've decided to buy the Amazon Fire Stick. Thank you
Great choice and thank you!
how was it? I’m hesitant to but these afraid that it will overheat and lag.. I’m coming from good old super stable AppleTV that’s a dinosaur with LAN port 😂
@@onzkicg I purchased the Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max about 2 months ago and it is Awesome. It's super easy to use and super fast. But I think speed has to do with how strong your Wi-Fi source is. Mine has a fast download speed. So much stuff to watch. I no longer miss cable. Would I recommend the Fire Stick.? Absolutely!
Thank you a lot I needed this for Black Friday 🔥🔥🔥🔥
No problem!
Good video, probably worth noting that the Roku and Fire Max support AV1 codec which is future proofing since Netflix is already streaming with it. The Chromecast does not support AV1, also FireOS also has the Roku channel as an app, Android tv however does not.
Thanks! Yes I should’ve mentioned that, I did mention it in my newer video when comparing the fire stick 4K max to the fire cube. Generally speaking, sometimes I have to skip stuff just because the video would be too long, it’s a battle lol. I also forgot to mention that only the Roku from this comparison supports airplay but since you can cast to all three, I just skipped it but I probably should’ve just mentioned it.
Thanks! This steered me towards the Fire stick away from the Chromecast
Can i install iptv apps in both firestick 4k max and chromecast with google tv? And which of these are better for iptv streaming
I have google and I'm happy with it. Completely updated my TV.
Yup
Fire TV Pros -
- Best performance
- Alexa if you use it
- Best button layout
- WiFi 6
- Better game streaming performance
- Can sideload apps
- Supports VPNs
- Supports AV1
- Can be found on cheapest deals
- Best SoC
Fire TV Cons -
- Worse for privacy
- Too much ads
- No universal IR remote, depends on HDMI CEC
- Crappy streaming
Google TV Pros
- No intrusive ads
- Google Assistant is better
- Doubles as a Chromecast
- Can sideload apps
- Supports VPNs and more apps
- Remote doubles as a Universal Remote, can control a VERY BIG range of IR devices
- Works with most home automation systems
Google TV Cons
- Bad for privacy
- Poor performance for game streaming
- No AV1 support
- Older SoCs
Roku Pros
- No intrusive ads
- Cheap
- Good home automation support
Roku Cons
- Not good selection for game streaming
- No universal IR remote, depends on HDMI CEC
- Bad app selection
- Poor sideloading game
- Crappy streaming
- Older SoCs
Fire Stick is a better device hardware wise, just the stick. The ultra is even better. But for best utility, Google TV can't be beat. It has Chromecast built-in. Fire Stick Miracast implementation is horrible while Roku's implementation is very acceptable, but it's no Chromecast. When I use AMD Link or Steam Link, Fire TV or Nvidia Shield performs the best. Google TV and Roku just doesn't pack a punch.
If you need game streaming on budget - Go Fire TV
If you need most convenient streaming - Go Google TV
If you have AV Receivers, Soundbars, Old TV without HDMI CEC and mixed bag setup - Go Google TV
If you want good voice assistants - Go with either Fire TV or Google TV
If you want the easiest and best home automation integration - Go Roku
Thanks for the detailed info
Why does fire stick and google tv had bad privacy
I would just like to mention that the CCwGTV doesn’t have overscan compensation. If you do have a TV with overscan that can’t be turned off and doesn’t have/don’t work well with HDMI-CEC, get a Xiaomi TV Stick 4K.
roku itself doesn't support bluetooth, but you can open the app on your phone and make the audio from the TV come on your phone or the Bluetooth phone connected to your phone, it also allows multiple different headphones to be connected at the same time, if each person has their own phone and bluetooth paired. I've tested up to 4 people each listening to a TV show using a mobile phone each with a bluetooth headset, it works via the WIFI network between ROku and the mobile devices, and from mobile device to headphone it is bluetooth
Good to know, thanks
What he meant was make your own fkn video!!! Hahaha
Can u download espn+ on all of these?
I assume Google and Roku came to an agreement because my Roku tv has TH-cam tv. Works flawlessly
They did
The FireStick seems like it's snappier. Also pretty awesome is supports Wifi 6.
They’re all good but I personally prefer the firestick mostly cause I’m in the Amazon ecosystem. It is nice that it has WiFi 6 and is fairly snappy
Why fire stick 4k max is unavailable on amazon US?
Apart from 1 (which can't be ship to my location) all the others in the list on amazon listed as currently unavailable.
Excellent review comparison, thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
Which one would you pick to use with TH-cam TV and which one has best remote for fast forwarding through dvr commercials?
Chromecast
There's one problem on Google TV Chromecast on Tubi: I tried to find a subtitles or close captions, because of anime series or special with English Subtitle?
That was a great review !!
Thank you!
With the fire stick you can also use the remote to change and Sources by saying switch to HDMI two
didn't know that. thanks for the heads up
Thanks for going over the UI (user interface) which is huge to some of us. Great review.
No problem
Thanks for the review
No problem 👍
Iam an amazing prime member and bought a roku ultra to use with my hue gradient light tv strip. I have not set it up yet. Is there any advantages of getting amazon fire stick instead since am an amazon prime member or should I stay with roku ultra? Just need a streaming service for my apps so hue lights can sync with them. Tv native apps don't work with hue gradient lights that's why I need a streaming device. Right now I have external chromcast but the downside is that I have to use my phone to stream to tv.
I prefer the firestick if you have Amazon prime but they’re all good at the end of the day.
Great video. I previously used 2 Chromecasts w/Google TV and they both performed well for about 3 weeks. Then the Chromecast on the main TV started freezing and crashing inexplicably. I was always clearing cache on a daily basis so storage wouldn’t be an issue. I ended up replacing both Chromecasts w/ Google TV with a Roku Ultra & a Roku 4K Stick. Both Roku’s have never freezed or crashed. Yes, the Roku 4K Stick is a little slower but it’s much more stable in my opinion.
Interesting, I haven’t had any of these freeze. I’m assuming you tried restarting when it did happen? Either way good to know, thanks for the info
@@landpet Yup. I would switch off the power strip the Chromecast was plugged into to reboot it. I’ve read on some forums these devices do have freezing issues.
@@landpet Also, much to my dismay, the Chromecast w/ Google TV does not have the DirecTV Stream app available.
@@greghull3189 so you're saying Roku does have the directv streaming app? I've got the app on my phone and it's great to watch on wifi when I'm away from home. If my mom has directv can I stream it at my apartment on my TV through the app with a Roku Stick? Thank you!
@@SoulSearcher247365 Yup, DTV Stream is available on Roku devices.
Not sure if the roku or chrome cast do, but the fire tv remote hooked itself up to my 10-15 year old tv and works for volume and power
I remember the chromecast and fire tv controlling my older 10 year old TV when I had it a few years ago.
What device is best for weak internet connectivity in a room that is far from the router. I’m live streaming TV and want minimal buffering.
I would consider getting a mesh system to boost your wifi coverage first but if that doesn't interest you if you have a wifi 6 or 6e router, I would opt for the firestick. If not, supposedly the roku is supposed to have pretty good range. I have not tested this claim since I have strong wifi signal throughout my place.
Chromecast not having a framerate match option pisses me off.
Which sticks supports password manager? My tv built in app store does NOT support password manager (at least I could not find it). So I need to manually sign in each and every app. It is easier to have password manager on phone/tablet and auto sign in to apps in phone/tablet and run/cast app from phone/tablet? My TV does not have chormecast so which one will work best?
All of these remember your passwords once you sign in
Thank you very well compared. I am going for the Amazon now.
Good choice!
Yea me too.
One thing you missed is that the Roku has Airplay. Neither of the other sticks do. So if you want to Airplay from your iPhone or iPad or Mac, a big feature. That's why for me the Roku is the best option.
Valid point, I should've mentioned that. You can cast to any of them though without Airplay, that's something I use often with TH-cam.
That's the same thing as image mirroring though.
@@bigburn5 literally 💀💀 mfers just be sayin bs
I can airplay w my old fire stick just fine 😅
@@bigburn5 so can you cast and/or screen mirror on all of them? I use Android, not Airplay or whatever, so that'd be good to clarify. Thank you!
Great review. Question, so if I want to watch live sports, do I have access through the free TV channels? Would I have to subscribe to each of the multiple networks ESPN, CBS, Fox sports, etc?
I don't know how many choices you have but there should be a few in the free live channels. You can also subscribe to ESPN to get more
Just trying Amazon 4K had Roku, I like the Roku interface better, but still learning
Roku is definitely a "cleaner" interface.
I don’t know how you can prefere Roku interface… It's awful, looks like it was developed by a high school kid, very similar to that awful Now TV app
Goated comparison, thanks
Thanks!
How about downloading apps on the streamers.
Which is best to download apps?
I live in UK and we don't have hbo max,
Which is better for downloading 3rd party apps?
Look into a fire stick, they support VPNs. Which would allow u to use hbomax.
This is very helpful review
Thanks
Great review, new subscriber 💥, going with the Fire 📺 now instead of Google.
That's my preferred one as well mostly because most of my stuff is on Amazon. Thanks for subscribing!
@@landpet Yea me too ✋
So the fire stick is best when my router is far? Is it the same with the non max version??
If your router is far and you have a wi-fi 6 router, than the firestick should be better than the other two. It's not the same with the non max.
Please which of the roku streaming device is the best? Thanks.
They’re all good in different ways. I like the fire stick the most
@@landpet Okay, thanks a lot.
np
I have never had a device like these. Does Amazon's and/or Google's device have built-in internet browser app? Or do they have an app store and can I download a browser and other apps?
Thank you.
ik for the fire stick there’s a web browser you can use
I think you could get the puffin web browser, I believe that's what I used a long time ago but using browsers on these sticks are not amazing. It's nothing like a computer or tablet that's fast, smooth, easy to type, etc.
My new TV does NOT have built in Chromecast. If I want to cast from phone (android) which stick to buy? Many apps or a video in browser has CAST icon. If I want to cast that video which stick will work best?
Chromecast would be ideal
I’m torn between Roku and Fire stick. I read a comment saying Roku is the only one of the three that can do airplay. Also Roku overall just looks the best in my opinion. But, on the other hand with firestck, it gets way more apps and I’m a sucker for anything Alexa.. I’ll have to do more research. Thanks!
Roku sucks. You can't expand the storage and you can't side load apps.
Roku looks terrible
@@riot9179you’re trolling right ? Fire stick is filled with ads Roku is easier to navigate also you can customize the Menu and use a different wallpaper.
Which one is best for streaming live ball games?
I do believe all three support espn+. They all have free live tv channels as well like the tubi app. I will say that roku is more restricted when it comes to apps compared to the fire tv or google tv.
Roku is the best easy no freeze up it work so good 😊 I'm well happy with Roku
Thanks for your feedback, Roku is definitely good, they all are honestly
is NBA live available in these sticks?
Can you watch prime video in 4k on the chromecast?
Yes assuming you have a 4k tv
which of the three streaming device can you install Brave browser ?
i need to know this!
When i press a button on my old fire tv stick first gen it takes seconds until something happens, I hope this one is faster XD
It's much quicker now. I did a test versus the previous versions here th-cam.com/video/1RFnzIAdpv8/w-d-xo.html
I also filmed the new fire stick vs the new fire cube which Im hoping to post by tomorrow
can I Cast to Roku and Fire as I do to Chromecast 2 ?
yes. Roku also supports AirPlay where the other two do not.
Can you please tell me that which one suport 4k hdr streaming of netflix hbo max amazon hulu disney ? or they can only play HD 1080P , my pc amazon app cant play 4k content but only shows hd 1080p sign , same on other apps disney and hbo max
Can they all support vpn nad apk ?
ihave all premium accounts but cant play 4k on pc except netflix
These all support up to 4K however your TV (or monitor) needs to be able to support 4K. If your TV doesn't support 4K, then these will default to 1080p or less. I forget the specifics with HDR and Dolby Vision. Maybe I mention that in this video or the individual videos.
Which one has better cloud games and more games too?
Simply put, Amazon Luna (requires a paid subscription). Google Stadia had games as well but it looks like Google is going to discontinue it.
Great information video
Thanks
Roku live channels ..are any of those sports channels or do you have to buy espn
I don't have the Roku anymore to check but I don't recall any specific sport channels so ESPN is the safe way to go
One thing you missed is that the 4k Roku Stick does support dolby atmos but your tv has to support it in order to use it on the roku stick.
There are Roku’s that do support Dolby Atmos but this version doesn’t support it. You can check the Roku site when you compare the Roku stick vs another and go to the Audio section.
www.roku.com/products/compare
Hi, i am looking to buy streaming service which can support dolby atmos. I do have dolby atmos speakers but not sure which one to buy fire stick or google tv. Can you help me out here.
They both support Atmos assuming the content and app you are using within them support it
The thing is. I'm between two rocks here with Amazon's firestick and Google's chromecast. It seems both devices can do 4K60fps and have all the apps you could want (netflix, prime video, youtube, disney+, apply tv, etc etc) but the things scaring me away from both and making it hard for me to choose is that Amazon's interface is horrible and those ads are just yuck, I don't want ads on the tv whilst I'm scrolling. However, google's is great but the controls being on the side is disgusting and I'm not exactly sure you can get apple tv on it. On top of this I've seen other comments saying how the firestick is more future proofed meaning it's probably best to go for it but again the ads are yuck. It would be nice if google released a new version of the chromecast with google tv that has the newest encoder and a better remote.
Valid points, you can always wait for another update from Google
Apple TV is really good. It’s expensive and within the ecosystem, but besides that it is the best streaming device I’ve used.
Have you tried contacting amazon customer support to remove the ads ? Its free
U seem like a hard-to-please person, but my suggestion is to pony up for Nvidia Shield Pro or get a great 3rd party remote for Google.
@Thomas The chromecast with google tv stick supports the Apple TV app
This would be a great video if you were comparing like "boxes". The Roku ultra is similar to the Firestick max. So you've kind of put the Firestick in an advantage from the get go.
Valid point but I was just comparing the newer of the two and more similarly retail priced items.
You must have Roku. Lol let me tell you since Verizon Fios tv is better then spectrum and Roku has spectrum and not Verizon tv and fire stick has Verizon and not spectrum, fire stick is a GO period. 👍🤣😂
I've tried all of the three.. liked ROKU the most
Thanks for your input, Any specific reason?
@@landpet found that Roku is smoother than FireTV, and got Airplay which's very important to me and Firetv doesn't. Google...ummmmm
Can I actually install new apps on fire stick like I do in my Samsung smart TV? And is firestick gonna be like!! You know! More pro Amazon?? Cuz I wanna use other OTTs and products available on online stores. How's the net surfing and stuffs on Firestick?
Also, Last question!
Does chrome cast automatically disconnects from the net or laggs? As I had heard from a lot.
You can install apps on the firestick. I don’t recommend net surfing on any of these streaming stocks, it’s not pleasant. My chromecast doesn’t disconnect
@@landpet Thanks man. 😊 Appreciate it. I'm buyin firestick
I had a chrome cast and that thing was a piece of shit that never worked right, I replaced it with a roku stick and I'm much happier with it. I think they put the wifi antennas in the cable to give it better connectivity, I remember the older sticks had built in antennas.
Sure makes sense but the fire stick and the chromecast have no WiFi issues either at least for me
Will these work for a 2014 Samsung TV?
As long as your Samsung has an HDMI port
@@landpet Thank You!
Thanks!
No problem!
Hi There, Can we use with A HDMI projector?
Yes in theory
perfect video my doode
Thanks
Roku has TH-cam still as of December 2022
Def going with firestick 💯
Good choice
I like firestick/firecube because you can side load
What's side load?
so a normal 4k 60fps tv cant stream these apps in 4k? i’m confused on the purpose of 4k streaming if the tv already has it
If the tv has the smart apps then it can stream in 4K and your probably don't need this. These streaming sticks usually (not always) are faster than the tv apps in terms of loading times and usually allow for more app selections.
Built-in TV streaming apps don't get long-term update support vs streaming apps that comes built-in to Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast with Google TV, etc.
Example: Netflix, Hulu, TH-cam, Prime Video, etc will still be getting updated over 5 years from now on a PS5, Xbox, etc vs the built-in apps from a TV.
Also, these dedicated streaming devices operate faster aka less sluggish vs the built-in apps of any TV.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M True story
@@PSYCHOV3N0M Yep, and Streaming Devices offer 3X more App chooses than the ones offered for Ones TV or PS5.
I have a chromecast and I like it a lot
I do like that one as well, thanks for the feedback
Anyway to basically get rid of the Amazon bloat ware and be straight Android!?
I haven’t tried it, probably best to get chromecast if that’s what you want
Mate chromecast is horrible, i press left or right and it goes flying across instead of moving over one tile. And then after 3 months the remote buttons wore out and i have to press really hard. And overall after 4 months chromecast lags all the time. Gonna try firestick now.
Thanks for the heads up in your experience. I personally haven’t noticed that
TH-cam TV is still on Roku. You just have to access it through the TH-cam app's menu.
Yup, they reached an agreement after this video was made
No matter how many batteries I put in that Firetv remote, it keeps machine gunning accross the apps like a madman!!!!!!!😠🤭
You change INPUT with the Fire with your voice " ALEXA CHANGE INPUT" =)
Yup.
I want to watch old western movies. Does Google Chromecast offer any free old movies?
You could find them in the apps like tubi which you can get in anyone of these streaming sticks. Here's a link of some of the free movies (with ads): tubitv.com/category/westerns
@@landpet Thank you!
Chromecast recently stopped letting people rent Amazon movies on it. You have to practically do yoga moves to get it to work
I didn't know that, I haven't used the chromecast recently. Using the new Apple TV 4K, Fire TV CUbe 3rd Gen and Roku Ultra. I will eventually get the video together to post it.
There's also a 'Wi-Fi' available. You don't need it.
I wish the chromecast with google Tv was able to be powered up via existing usb port... Because i use portable projector and the usb plug really limits its portability.
Why google???
Maybe a power requirement, you can try it but they usually recommend against it.
@@landpet And can you power Firestick from your Tvs USB port or do you have to use a power brick? Great video by the way!
@@RacingPotato12 they recommend the power brick or something similar. I power it off my surge protectors built-in USB port. You can try the TV's USB port but it's not recommended. Reason is that typically the TV's USB port doesn't have enough power. Thanks!
6E for Fire Stick 4K Max.
The latest 4k max which came out end of last year supports WiFi 6e.
This version is the one that came out in 2021 and that one supports WiFi 6
@@landpet Ah..I see.
Is the chromecast faster than fire stick max?
Hard to tell, the scrolling is faster on the Chromecast. The app loading is fast on both
Do I need an internet connection or can I just use mobile data?
You need internet with WiFi. WiFi hotspot should also work but that depends on your mobile plan whether that’s included or not. Check with your carrier
Which is best?
They’re all good. I prefer the fire stick
Oh yea Roku has all these cute little screen savers and sooo many streaming channels but when it comes down to actually working?! it's junk, it disconnects in the middle of a show and all those little extra channels has the same thing all the others do so they're not necessary. I've been using it for a couple years and I'm done with it!
Fire TV is always the king 💪
I have a question why would you need any of these if your tv already come with the apps ?? 🤔🤔🤔
Not much of a reason if your tv already has the apps and it works well. These typically are faster than a TV's interface and two of three support cloud gaming. You can also typically get more apps with these than you can on a smart tv.
Also I don't think there is as much storage on TVs as well as they don't seem to update very often.
@@landpet agreed i used a friend's cheap TV that had some TH-cam and Netflix apps etc, man it was so so slow!!!
The TV doesn’t have the same selection of apps. Also you can’t jailbreak a TV.
Tv ones are with limited feature, limited space and laggy. Not so user friendly.
These sticks are complete wasted with ads. On Roku it's still the least, but the others really crush you with their "suggestions".
Yeah definitely varying ecosystems
Can you play games on chrome cast?
You can with google stadia
By far the Firestick 4K Max
good choice.
all this the Amazon firestick still wins out. I have a Nvidia Shield but my favorite for you TH-cam is Beelink GT King pro for it's operating system and the ability to colasp one video while going another. Nvidia shield OS is great for games but stinks for other things.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that about the Beelink.
Why did you say "alexa" Are you trying to ruin my life?
Lol
Roku is best tv ngl, but id suggest a bigger screen than 55"
Nah, it's not.
@@juanurena87 it really depends on who youre buying from, i got a tcl but im unsure of getting it from insignia because they use outdated parts from Samsung or Lg's from last year.
does every single app have to be paid to watch
Depends on the app, some are free with commercials
@@landpet ok thank you. Amazon prime, Netflix maybe must be paid?
Im getting me Roku lol deez niggas too nice they finna take over soon and trend hard asf. I use to have firestick and that shit was overprice and speeds were slow asf . Xfinity ripped me off my contract and I ended with fees down my neck out the blue. The monthly payments still was not enough to keep the box lmfaoo all these cable companies are scamming people legimately because of the pandemic 😂😂😂only the chosen ones like me gon figure it out.
They're all good depending on the use case. I do have to agree the older firesticks were slow but this new one is fast.
Returned my FireStick Max..as of now it wont play UHD on Vudu..even tho the last gen did...WICH I HAVE...
SHAME ON THEN...GARBAGE UNTILL THEY ADD THAT.
I haven't tried that so I'll take your word for it.
I have all three
nice
Congrats
We have lost our cord to our Roku and then we lost the actual Roku stick that is because we have a two-year-old and a 4 year olds with autism
What did you do at that point?
You can buy yourself these sticks and there is nothing to watch. It always takes me at least an hour to find something interesting. Today's programs are a huge failure.
Tiki should not be on the list. Man GET THAT OUT OF HERE!! Stop playing. The real smart tv device’s are Google TV and Fire TV. End of discussion.
I prefer the fire tv myself only cause most of my stuff is on Amazon
A Google stadia is literally better than a Roku TV you will never find something that’s truly worthless as a Roku TV disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting company...
I haven't dealt with Roku but I do prefer the fire stick and Google tv more than Roku.
With Roku, you are very limited. As you can't side load apps or increase the Roku storage.
basically...roku and firestick sucks balls. The Chromecast is the best.
Lol
