Google TV might get a proper Chromecast replacement in 4K Walmart streaming stick

A new listing suggests that Walmart may finally be launching a Google TV streaming stick that supports 4K video output, perhaps finally giving the market a true replacement to the Chromecast.

The Chromecast with Google TV offered a compact form factor that could easily hide behind your TV with no extra thought. Simply plug it in and forget about it. But, with the arrival of Google TV Streamer, that offering essentially died in the mainstream Google TV market.

The closest to Chromecast with Google TV in terms of form factor comes from Walmart, with the Onn 4K Plus having a puck form factor that connects to an additional HDMI cable for 4K output. The Onn HD, meanwhile, is a streaming stick that plugs directly into your TV, like the Chromecast, but with only 1080p output.

New information spotted by Android TV Guide reveals that Walmart is working on a 4K Google TV streaming stick. The stick would support 4K output while being powered by a Realtek RTD1325 chipset as opposed to the Amlogic chips used in most other Walmart streamers. It would have 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, while shipping with Android 14.

The apparent design looks familiar, too.

Offering 4K output in a streaming stick form factor would be a brand new offering from Walmart’s Onn lineup, and a welcome replacement for the Chromecast. That said, a release timeline is unclear, as is a price. Walmart’s existing lineup includes the $20~ FHD streaming stick, $25~ 4K streaming puck, and $30~ 4K Plus streaming puck, the latter seemingly getting a price hike to $40~. That $25-30 price point seems like a perfect spot for this new device to slot in.

A new Pro entry from Walmart is also expected to launch soon.
