Walmart is making waves in the streaming device market with the quiet reappearance of Walmart’s Onn 4K Plus, a Google TV-powered alternative to Chromecast, which is now officially priced at just $29.88. The device first leaked earlier this year through early customer reviews and an online product listing, which was swiftly taken down. Its return to Walmart’s website—with full details and pricing—signals a likely launch in the near future.
This new Onn device offers an extremely competitive option, coming in at approximately $20 cheaper than Google’s now-discontinued Chromecast with Google TV (4K). With an accessible price point and key upgrades, it appears designed to fill the gap left by Google’s streamer—and possibly outperform it.
Key Specs and Features Aim to Outdo Chromecast
Walmart’s Onn 4K Plus is equipped with 16GB of internal storage, addressing one of the most frequent criticisms of the Chromecast: limited storage capacity. It’s powered by a quad-core processor, features 2GB of RAM, and supports both Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and high-end audiovisual technologies like Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
The design remains compact, ideal for small spaces or travel, and includes a remote control with a dedicated “Free TV” button, continuing the design trend introduced in the Onn 4K Pro. An image of the device on Walmart’s listing also displays the Google Home Panel interface, indicating a smooth integration with other Google smart home devices.
These specifications not only position Walmart’s Onn 4K Plus as a budget-friendly option, but also as one that could potentially outperform Google’s own devices—particularly for users seeking greater internal storage and high-definition streaming capability.
Launch Date Still Unconfirmed, but Stock May Already Be Arriving
Although Walmart has yet to formally announce a launch date, the reappearance of the product listing hints at an imminent release. Given Walmart’s unconventional rollout strategy with previous Onn streaming devices, it’s possible that some physical store locations already have the product in stock, even if it’s not yet officially available online or nationwide.
The listing doesn’t provide further information on availability, but customers are encouraged to check local stores or monitor Walmart’s site closely. Enthusiasts hoping to get early access to Walmart’s Onn 4K Plus may want to act quickly if it appears on shelves ahead of an official announcement.
With aggressive pricing and enhanced performance, the Onn 4K Plus could emerge as a top contender in the budget streaming device segment, particularly for users looking for an affordable, high-performance alternative to the now-retired Chromecast with Google TV.
