Google's latest streaming device is a sleek, capable device with more power, more storage and new AI features. The picture quality is better than the Amazon Fire TV Cube, though its audio is similarly middling and its menus should be smoother. We much prefer its physical design too, though we are aware that opinions will vary on this.

The third-gen Fire TV Cube has more ports than the Google TV Streamer, but it's more expensive and its picture quality isn't as good. Which makes it an easy decision for us. But for those Amazon diehards who want a more capable TV device than the Fire TV Stick, it's their best option.
For
