Score: 86/100
Google TV Streamer 4K
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Formuler Z11 Pro Max runs Android 11 with 4 GB RAM, Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI 2.1, delivering robust 4K HDR performance. However, the bundled cable is limited to 4K@60 Hz due to software, and the device's size is larger. It targets power users who want high-spec connectivity and future-proofing.
Google TV Streamer 4K offers 4K HDR with Dolby Vision, 32 GB storage, Ethernet connectivity and integrated Matter/Thread smart-home support. However, it lacks Wi-Fi 6 and expandable storage, which may affect wireless performance. Best suited for users invested in the Google ecosystem who value wired reliability.

Professional reviewers have not provided specific commentary on the ULTRALINK cable; manufacturer listings simply describe it as a standard TV cable for 4K output without detailed analysis.
Everyday users generally praise the cable’s reliable 4K HDR performance and the premium feel of the bundled accessories, but they frequently criticize the lack of concrete specifications and the software‑imposed 4K@60Hz limitation.
“Why one of the crucial specifications... is not reported?”
“premium feel in bundle with remote/cover”
“did not skip a beat”
Professional reviewers commend the Google TV Streamer 4K for its fluid 4K video playback, rapid app switching, and extensive Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos support, while also highlighting the value of Gemini voice integration and Matter/Thread smart-home features. However, they criticize the lack of Wi-Fi 6, the fixed 32 GB storage without expansion, and the limited gaming performance, questioning whether the specs justify its 2024 price for power users.
Everyday users praise the device for seamless 4K streaming, quick app launches, reliable Ethernet connectivity, and the convenience of a voice remote, noting the noticeable speed boost over older Chromecasts. Recurring complaints focus on Wi-Fi 5 bandwidth constraints, the inability to expand storage, and insufficient power for gaming, with some feeling the hardware is under-powered for its cost.
