9to5Google • • technology
Key Points:
- Walmart’s updated Onn 4K Pro streaming box has begun appearing in stores, priced at $60, aiming to compete with the Google TV Streamer.
- The new model features 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU with ARM G310 V2 GPU, Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet, and supports Dolby Vision, distinguishing it from Walmart’s 4K Streaming Stick.
- A notable downgrade is the replacement of the rear USB port from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0, which may impact users relying on fast local media playback from USB devices.
- The device includes a fabric-clad design, retains the same remote, and switches to USB-C for power, though the Ethernet port remains limited to 100Mbps speeds.
- Walmart has not officially announced the device or its sale yet, but the launch appears imminent despite some confusion in media reports.
