This is entirely different, offering a full-blown Android TV experience, complete with a remote, menu, apps, file management, and an app store. Instead, when watching content on another device (like your phone), a Chromecast logo would appear that you could tap to "cast" the content onto your TV screen. Previous Chromecast models worked the same way, but once you connected it to your Wi-Fi and plugged it in, there wasn't much else you could do with it by itself.
