Walmart has been offering a couple of cheaper alternatives to the Google Chromecast for a while now. The company offers two Google TV streaming devices under its “onn.” brand. These include the onn. Google TV 4K Streaming box and onn. Google TV Full HD Streaming Device. Now, onn. appears to be planning to release a 4K Pro model of these streaming products.
Walmart Pro Google TV streaming box will offer Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity
The upcoming Walmart Pro Google TV streaming device has been certified by the regulatory body Bluetooth SIG. The product name of the device is mentioned as “onn. 4K Pro Streaming Device | Google TV” in the certification data. The listing has also revealed that it will be offering a faster Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity feature.
The current onn. Google TV 4K Streaming box offers the previous-gen Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The certification doesn’t reveal anything about the design details or features of the upcoming streaming box. However, the Pro moniker in the product name clearing indicates it will be more capable compared to existing devices. The Bluetooth certification details of this product were published on April 9.
Walmart Pro Google TV could offer more RAM, storage, and ports
Unfortunately, not many details about the features of the upcoming Pro Google TV model are available at the moment. However, the users can expect more RAM, higher storage, and additional connection ports. It will also provide features like the Google Chromecast. It should have built-in Google Assistant, content recommendations, and popular streaming apps.
The Walmart Pro Google TV variant should also come bundled with a dedicated remote control, just like the previous models. The company currently offers a white remote control, which provides dedicated keys to YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+ OTT platforms. The new Pro variant could have dedicated buttons for other OTT services as well. Only time will tell if the new offering is worth the money.
As for the pricing, the onn. Google TV 4K Streaming Box (2023) model is currently retailing for around $20. So it is safe to assume that the upcoming Pro variant will also be priced affordably.
