Google TV Stick: Budget Chromecast Successor at $30

For those seeking an affordable way to access modern streaming services, a potential new option may have just surfaced. A new Onn 4K Streaming Device was reportedly found on a Walmart store shelf, suggesting a budget-friendly successor to the discontinued Google Chromecast. While Walmart has not made an official announcement, the discovery points to a compact stick offering 4K support, Dolby Atmos, and the Google TV interface for an estimated price of just $30.

The sighting was first reported by Android Headlines, with a Reddit user claiming to have purchased the device. According to that post, the hardware runs on a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU paired with an ARM Mali-G57 GPU. It is said to include 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, a configuration that should capably handle high-resolution streaming from popular apps. The device also reportedly features voice control with Gemini and supports Google Cast functionality.

This represents a notable upgrade from the existing $20 Onn streaming stick, which is limited to 1080p resolution and carries 1.5GB of RAM. It also differs from the current Onn 4K box, which uses a larger, square form factor. The appeal of this rumored stick lies in its combination of a compact design, 4K capabilities, and the Google TV platform at a very competitive price point.

When Google ceased production of its Chromecast stick two years ago, it created a void for consumers wanting an inexpensive Google TV dongle. If the reported specifications and cost are accurate, this new Onn device could become a leading budget streaming option. It presents a compelling choice for upgrading an older television or for users who prefer the Google ecosystem, especially for apps that are optimized for casting to Google TV.

Compared to other market options, the potential value is clear. The current 4K Roku Streaming Stick, priced just over $40, typically comes with 1GB of RAM. The prospect of 2GB of RAM in this Onn model, at a lower price, suggests strong performance for 4K video playback, which generally does not demand excessive memory from streaming applications.

While details remain unconfirmed by Walmart, the box specifications align with data from trusted technical databases. The retailer typically launches new streaming devices around May, so an official release could be imminent. Consumers interested in this product should look for packaging labeled “Google TV with Gemini.” This rumored device underscores the ongoing trend of bringing high-quality streaming features to the most cost-conscious segment of the market.
