Walmart Launches the $30 Onn 4K Plus Android TV Stream Box

After leaking successful April, the Onn 4K Plus streamer is present listed connected Walmart's web store. It isn't disposable for acquisition conscionable yet, but astatine $30, it looks similar it mightiness beryllium the cleanable Google TV container for my impermanent room.

We got our archetypal look astatine the Onn 4K Plus a fewer weeks agone aft Home Tester Club, a community-based reviews platform, inadvertently leaked the device by publishing immoderate aboriginal reviews up of schedule. The leak gave america a decent look astatine the streaming box, but it didn't uncover pricing oregon elaborate specs.

Walmart's new listing for the Onn 4K Plus sets the terms astatine a chill $30. And, importantly, it reveals the streaming box's specs, which are acold much generous than I had anticipated.

Under the hood, the Onn 4k Plus features a quad-core Amlogic S905X5M processor with 2GB of RAM and, notably, 16GB of storage. Google TV devices similar the aged Chromecast with Google TV thin to acquisition some annoying problems erstwhile they're debased connected storage, truthful I decidedly admit the 16GB capableness successful this unit.

I'm besides impressed to spot enactment for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, arsenic good arsenic the inclusion of a Voice Remote—an indispensable add-on for immoderate Google TV device, successful my sentiment (I conscionable privation I could get escaped of that big abdominous "Free TV" button). Walmart adjacent implemented Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, which should supply a flimsy boost successful reliability implicit a wireless connection. An Ethernet larboard would beryllium nice, but I tin woody with Wi-Fi 6.

These specs, portion large for the price, evidently autumn abbreviated of the $100 Google TV Streamer oregon NVIDIA Shield. But I conscionable request a decent, long-lasting, 4K streaming container for my impermanent room.

I should instrumentality a infinitesimal to clarify that I'm a longtime Roku instrumentality (and a half-hearted Google TV hater—sorry, but the Google TV interface kinda sucks). I conscionable can't basal Roku's ever-growing, endlessly-intrusive advertisement campaign, and cipher tin person maine to bargain an Amazon-branded device, truthful I'm choosing to tolerate Google TV. I'll astir apt outpouring for an expensive Apple TV box astatine immoderate point, but that'll beryllium for my surviving room, since that's wherever I bash astir of my TV watching.

The Onn 4K Plus is presently listed arsenic "out of stock" astatine the Walmart website, and there's nary connection connected erstwhile it volition beryllium available. However, arsenic my person Ben Schoon astatine 9to5Google notes, Onn devices often look astatine brick-and-mortar stores earlier they "officially" motorboat online. So, I conjecture I'll halt by Walmart this weekend.
