The only big difference between the above two is that the Google Chromecast 2 can only stream videos and shows through a smartphone or tablet. And the other difference is the price. Chromecast is Rs 600 cheaper than the Fire TV Stick.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick launched in India will not require a smartphone to stream content, moreover it directly connects with the WiFi at your home.
