Walmart’s got another Chromecast replacement in the works

Walmart’s Onn streaming boxes have been decent entry-level Google TV options for years, and now, it’s come to light that the company’s got another one in the works. As reported by 9to5Google, an early review program for a streaming box called the Onn 4K Plus with Google TV on Home Tester Reviews has spilled the beans on the new streaming box, including specs and even photos. We don’t know everything yet, though.

An image in one early review shows the back of the Onn 4K Plus’s packaging, which reveals the streamers specs. The upcoming device will offer 4K output as well as support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The box doesn’t mention a specific chipset, but says that it’s a quad-core chip paired with a G310 V2 GPU; 9to5 theorizes that could be the Amlogic S905X5M. It’ll apparently come with two gigs of RAM and 16 gigs of storage space, the latter being double what the Chromecast with Google TV offered.

The remote control pictured with the Onn 4K Plus looks the same as the one that comes with the Onn 4K Pro, only white rather than black. It also seems like the power cable included with the Onn 4K Plus is USB-C rather than the microUSB, and the package includes an HDMI cable — something pricier options like the Google TV Streamer often omit. It also comes with adhesive to stick the streamer to the back of your TV.

We’re still missing some details

Early impressions on Home Tester Reviews are positive, with 73 percent of 70 reviews giving the Onn 4K Plus five out of five stars. We don’t know everything about the streamer, though. None of the reviews mention price, but we can assume from the device’s specs and other Onn device pricing that it’ll be an entry-level option. And while the reviews on Home Tester Reviews seem to have started early last month, there’s no indication of when the device will launch. We should expect to hear more about the Onn 4K Plus in the near future.
