Why This Matters

The Walmart Onn 4K Pro (2026) offers a compelling alternative to the Google TV Streamer, providing similar or better features at nearly half the price. Its design, added ports, and remote-finding feature make it a significant upgrade for consumers seeking value and functionality in streaming devices. This shift could influence industry standards and consumer choices, emphasizing affordability without sacrificing quality.

Key Takeaways

Walmart Onn 4K Pro (2026) If you're shopping for a Google TV streaming box in 2026, it's hard to think of a better overall option than Walmart's new Onn 4K Pro. It's a fast and reliable streamer with full Dolby Vision/Atmos support, 32GB of storage, great remote features, and a nicer design than its predecessor. And for just $60, it's almost half the price of the Google TV Streamer. There's not much to dislike here.

It’s 2026, and you’re in the market for a Google TV streaming device. What’s a person to get?

You might assume that your best option is the Google TV Streamer — and you wouldn’t be wrong to assume so. The Google TV Streamer is arguably the most popular Google TV box on the market today, and it’s a darn good one, too. But is it the one you should buy? A month ago, I would have said yes without thinking twice. However, after living with Walmart’s new Onn 4K Pro, I’m not so sure.

The Google TV Streamer is still a rock-solid choice, but for my money, I’d pick the Onn 4K Pro (2026) — and I think you should, too.

What I love about the new Onn 4K Pro

Starting with the box itself, I really like how the new Onn 4K Pro looks. Where the 2024 model was an uninspired square, the 2026 version draws heavily on the Google TV Streamer’s design. The flat oval shape fits nicely underneath my TV, and the fabric cover on top is a nice, homey touch.

Beyond the good looks, the Onn 4K Pro is surprisingly functional, too. On top of the streaming box is the Find My Remote button. Press this, and the remote starts chirping and flashing its LED until you locate the remote and press a button. The Google TV Streamer has something similar, and it’s such a nice feature to have.

Look around the back, and the Onn 4K Pro has you covered with a USB-C port for powering the box, an HDMI output, an Ethernet port, and a full-size USB-A port. That USB-A port isn’t something you’ll find on the Google TV Streamer, and it’s a really nice touch if you want to plug in a webcam, external hard drive, game controller, keyboard, etc.
