Best for: Australians wanting to add 4K Google TV and Chromecast capabilities to an existing display without replacing their television.
The Kogan 4K Google TV Dongle (model KAGDSX5MA) is a compact streaming device designed to plug directly into a display via HDMI. According to Kogan's technical documentation, the unit runs certified Google TV OS and is powered by an ARM Cortex-A35 64-bit quad-core processor with 2GB of DDR4 RAM and 8GB of internal eMMC storage. It delivers 4K Ultra HD output with HDR support and includes Dolby Audio decoding. For connectivity, the dongle features dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and integrated Chromecast capability for media streaming from phones and tablets.
This streaming dongle suits renters or homeowners who want to modernise a secondary television, computer monitor, or older panel that lacks modern streaming software. The Google TV interface provides access to popular streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video, while the included remote features Google Assistant voice input for search and smart device controls. It is also well-suited to households already using the Google Home ecosystem for shared media casting.
It is less suited to users who require extensive storage for numerous heavy applications or local media libraries, as the 8GB total capacity leaves modest space after system software is accounted for. Those requiring a wired Ethernet connection for home networks should also look elsewhere, as the unit relies solely on Wi-Fi out of the box. Additionally, the manufacturer documentation confirms no native integration with Apple Home, Matter, or Samsung SmartThings.
Kogan supplies the dongle with a standard Australian AC power adapter and a USB-A to Micro-USB power cable. Product documentation specifies that the device requires 5V/1A (5W) input and should be powered via the wall plug, as standard television USB ports often fail to supply enough current for reliable 4K playback.
The unit operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi frequencies, ensuring compatibility with standard Australian home routers and National Broadband Network (NBN) gateway setups. While there are no recurring subscription fees required to operate the hardware or the Google TV interface, paid streaming subscriptions remain separate. For local purchaser support, Kogan provides a 1-year manufacturer warranty alongside standard protections under Australian Consumer Law.

The little Kogan 4K TV dongle turned my old dumb TV, into a SMART TV. It installs brilliantly behind the TV, plugging directly into the TV's HDMI socket and is powered off the TV's USB socket. Not a cable in sight ! The ...

I got this for travel, as I already have an Apple TV at home, and honestly this is on par with the Apple TV in terms of functionality and power. It was a bit clunky to set up, as Google stuff tends to be, but it has alll ...

It simply does the trick. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars in a new TV, for less than a hundred dollars, you get a smart tv. You can easily play catch-up tv and also chromcast your mobile phone or laptop onto the ...

The dongle works well but needs a longer cable if your ports are back and centre on your tv. Also doesn't support volume control or at least that's the message that keeps flashing up when I use it. Still doable and the i ...

This dongle is far superior to the other 3 brands I've had in the past. It's fast, a great interface, and I can install any streaming app available. With my VPN I can install overseas apps also. The price is unbeatable.

I was hesitant to buy initially as it looked different to my previous chromecast and I weren't sure it would work with my 12 volt tv in a motorhome. Unboxed it and once connected to power it virtually set itself up inclu ...

For some of us less technical people, this wasn’t all that difficult to set up. I got some help from a neighbour who found it very easy. Works a dream once connected. Received item very quickly. Would recommend this inst ...
