GoKawiilGoogle TV Streamer jumps to $149, a $50 price increase
Google has raised the price of its 4K Google TV Streamer to $149, a $50 jump from its original $99 launch price. The change is already reflected on the Google Store and at Best Buy, though Amazon still lists the device at its older price. The streaming box, which launched in 2024 and also functions as a smart home hub, joins a wave of price hikes across Google's product lineup, including the recently released Pixel 11 phones.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The increase reflects broader industry pressure from component shortages pushing up costs across consumer electronics, from laptops to game consoles and streaming devices alike. Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Apple's Apple TV 4K have both seen similar price increases recently, suggesting streaming hardware is becoming a less predictable budget category for consumers. Shoppers seeking the older price may want to act quickly before retailers like Amazon catch up to the new pricing.
- Google TV Streamer price rose from $99 to $149, a 50% increase.
- Amazon has not yet updated its price, unlike Google's own store and Best Buy.
- The hike follows similar price increases on Pixel phones, Fire TV Stick, and Apple TV, linked to component shortages.
