Walmart has quietly added its latest streaming device, the Onn 4K Plus Streaming Device with Google TV, to its website, priced at an attractive $29.88. While the listing marks a significant step toward its public debut, Walmart has not announced an official release date, and the device remains unavailable in local stores in many areas, including mine. The unassuming launch aligns with Walmart’s unconventional approach to rolling out its Onn-branded streaming devices, which often appear in stores or online with little fanfare and was spotted by 9to5Google. This new model promises enhanced performance over its predecessors, building on the success of devices like the Onn 4K Pro released in 2024.
The Onn 4K Plus has already garnered attention through early reviews on the Home Tester Club website, spotted by Reddit users since March. These reviews, accompanied by user-uploaded images, reveal a sleek device packaged in a new blue box, a departure from the yellow packaging of previous Onn models. The box details key specifications: a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU, G310 V2 GPU, 2GB RAM, and 16GB storage—doubling the storage of the 2023 Onn 4K Box. It supports 4K Ultra HD resolution, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Google Cast, with a voice remote powered by Google Assistant. The device operates on dual-band WiFi (2.4/5 GHz) and uses a USB-C power input (AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz, outputting DC 5V/1.5A).
Reviewers have praised the Onn 4K Plus for its affordability and ease of use, with one Home Tester Club user noting, “It was just like using a Roku just half the price!” Many highlight its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with Google TV’s recommendation engine and app ecosystem, which rivals pricier competitors like the Chromecast with Google TV. The increased storage and faster speeds compared to the standard Onn 4K model have been noted as significant upgrades, making it a compelling option for budget-conscious cord-cutters.
Despite its listing on Walmart’s website, the Onn 4K Plus remains elusive. No stores in my area have it in stock, and some reports suggest select Walmart locations have prematurely placed units on shelves, allowing early adopters to snag them. This aligns with Walmart’s history of staggered, almost accidental launches, as seen with the 2023 Onn 4K Box, which retailed at $19.88 and earned acclaim as a budget streaming powerhouse.
As anticipation builds, the Onn 4K Plus could challenge competitors like Roku and Amazon’s Fire TV Stick, offering robust features at a fraction of the cost. Without an official launch date, consumers are left checking Walmart’s website and local stores for availability. For now, the device’s specs and early reviews suggest it could redefine value in the streaming market.
