LG has embraced Google Cast on the Operating System level with their latest flagship phone, the G4. TechCrunch reports:

What’s nice about this year’s LG flagship is that the OS was created with Google users in mind, meaning that Google’s suite of productivity apps comes pre-installed, and that Chrome is the default browser choice. There’s OS-level Chromecast support, too, for sharing from your onboard music library and gallery apps, and most of LG’s own apps feature Android Wear extensions out of the box. You also get 100GB of free Google Drive storage for two years with G4 purchase.

That 100GB Google Drive storage for 2 years sounds familiar!

So, G4 users will be able to use Chromecast without the Chromecast app installed, straight out of the box. If you have an Android TV with inbuilt Google Cast, this will be possible without even the Chromecast dongle!

The G4 looks like a really good machine with an incredible camera (reviews are yet to come in, but it looks a lot better than most of the other smartphone cameras in the market). My phone is old and needs an upgrade soon. Think G4 will be a good fit?
