Having passed through the FCC, we can assume the new Google Chromecast 2 is about to land in the United States. The second-generation HDMI dongle has visited the FCC for certification, but the documents didn't reveal any new details that weren't known.

Unfortunately, the Chromecast 2 is almost the same as its predecessor. It is missing 5 GHz WiFi band. Luckily a new Chrome OS app is coming that will let users access photos and videos directly from Google Drive, but probably the new Chromecast 2 won't make a difference compared to its predecessor.
