As announced in early February, Walmart’s new On 4K Streaming Box is now available for purchase. The new Walmart Onn 4K Google TV Box pleasantly surprises in two ways. Firstly, it comes with Google TV (based on Android TV 11), and secondly, its price is very low. At Walmart, we can find it for $19.88. That’s right, its price is similar to Walmart’s previous Onn 4K streaming device from 2021.
New Onn 4K Streaming Box 2023 with Google TV
In addition to the price that we did not know before, the features of the Onn 4K streaming player we wrote about were confirmed. First, a few words about design. The old 2021 model is not much different from the 2023 model. Even the box is similar. The main difference is in the operating system. The previous model came with Android TV. The new 4K Onn streaming box comes with Google TV OS (probably based on Android TV 11, although Elias from AFTVnews sees Android 12 here, time will tell). We have written many times about the advantages and disadvantages of Android TV and Google TV. It all depends on personal preferences and habits.
Another major difference compared to the previous model is the heart of the streamer. The 2021 model was powered by the S905Y2 SoC. New Onn 4K Google TV streaming box is powered by Amlogic S905Y4 SoC. The S905Y4 SoC is a well-known Quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A35 processor with Mali-G31 MP2 GPU which can be found in many streaming devices available on the market, for example, Homatic Dongle G 4K. Besides, the chipset supports the currently popular AV1 decoding. In addition, we can expect the new streamer to support HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS HD. In addition, Walmart’s new Onn 4K Box includes 2GB of RAM and 8GB of built-in storage.
Besides, the new Onn 4K Google TV Box 2023 supports dual-band MIMO 802.11ac WiFi 5. In addition, it is shipped with the well-known Google G10 reference design remote. The only change on the remote is the inclusion of a Paramount+ app shortcut button whereas the old remote had an HBO Max button. The other three app shortcut buttons are still for YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+. In addition to the remote control, the new Onn 4K streaming box with Google TV comes with an HDMI cable, power adapter, and Quick Start guide.
By the way, the Xiaomi TV Box S 2nd Gen also recently launched with Google TV. However, the new Onn 4K streamer beats the price of the new streaming player from Xiaomi. Thus, the new Walmart Onn 4K streaming box is the cheapest streaming device on the market with Google TV.
