### Walmart’s New “Pro” Google TV Streaming Box and Smart Speaker Combo
Walmart has introduced its latest product, the Onn 4K Pro, which combines a Google TV streaming box with a smart speaker. Priced at $49.88, this device offers new features such as a built-in Google Assistant smart speaker, Dolby Vision plus Atmos, HDR, and a remote with a prominent blue “Free TV” button that directs users to Google’s FAST channels. Additionally, it includes a customizable star button for launching apps or changing TV inputs.
### Innovative Design and Features
The Onn 4K Pro features a sleek square black design, housing a microphone that functions similarly to a Nest Mini with Google Assistant. Users can interact with the device hands-free, asking it to play YouTube videos or control smart home devices. The device’s aesthetics resemble a Nest Mini, complete with an embedded mesh fabric cover and a row of four LEDs.
### A Successor to Chromecast with Enhanced Connectivity
While the Onn 4K Pro is not a Google product, it serves as a successor to the Chromecast with Google TV. Offering more flexible connectivity options with Wi-Fi 6 and ethernet compared to Chromecast’s Wi-Fi 5, the Onn 4K Pro also boasts more RAM (3GB vs 2GB) and internal storage (32GB vs 8GB). Furthermore, users can activate the device with voice commands without needing to use the remote, all for the same price as the Chromecast.
### Enhanced User Experience with Added Benefits
By including a barrel plug power supply and an HDMI cable, Walmart ensures users have essential accessories for setting up the Onn 4K Pro. The device’s customizable button offers convenient shortcuts for accessing favorite apps or changing TV inputs.
