TL;DR Walmart’s budget-friendly Onn 4K Pro streaming box has started receiving Google’s Gemini assistant upgrade.
Gemini replaces Google Assistant and introduces natural conversation and personalized queries for TV.
While Gemini has been released for the Onn 4K Pro, Google TV Streamer, and some TCL TVs, it remains unknown when the rest of the TV streaming ecosystem will make the switch from Google Assistant.
