If there are two words I love when it comes to streaming, it’scheap and 4Kin the same sentence, and Walmart’s nextstreaming deviceseems to have gotten the memo.
Walmart has recently listed a new affordable 4K Google TV streaming device on its website as part of its Onn brand, called theOnn 4K Plus Streaming. Reviews of the Onn 4K Plus began surfacing online last month, leading many to believe Walmart was close to releasing the device, and with its product page now live, that could be the case.
According to Walmart’s listing, the Onn 4K Plus will cost $30, making it one of the most affordable Google TV offerings. Its $30 price tag makes it about $20 cheaper than the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) that Google discontinued last year (via9to5Google), and $20 cheaper than the Onn 4K Pro, which Walmart released late last year.
