While the Google TV Streamer isn’t the outright best Android TV box on the market, it is a highly capable set-top box. If you’ve been on the fence about picking one up, Amazon’s Prime Day week sale makes the Google TV Streamer an absolute steal.
Discounts on the Google TV Streamer 4K have historically been few and far between. When it dropped to $85 previously, it was a decent opportunity to save, but it wasn’t a groundbreaking price drop. Today’s discount completely changes the math.
Amazon has slashed the price to $74.99, marking the lowest price to date for the device. At a full 25% off its usual $99.99 retail price, this is an absolute steal for the Google TV Streamer, and to make this even more enticing, this deal applies to both the standard Porcelain colorway and the US-exclusive Hazel finish.
Here’s a quick overview of what you’re getting: The Google TV Streamer 4K launched as the powerful successor to the now-discontinued Chromecast with Google TV (4K). Shifting away from the old dongle form factor, it boasts a sleek set-top box design and massive internal hardware upgrades. Under the hood, you get a 22% faster processor, double the RAM (4GB), and 32GB of onboard storage — plenty of headroom to prevent the sluggish performance that plagued older streaming sticks.
The physical design also leaves room for an integrated Ethernet port and a full-sized HDMI port. Neither cable is included in the box, but considering how deep this discount is, you can easily grab a high-quality HDMI cable with your savings and still come out well ahead.
Beyond the snappy interface performance, the hardware delivers stunning 4K HDR video resolution with full support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio. It also features a redesigned, more ergonomic remote equipped with a customizable button to instantly map your favorite app or open your Google Home smart panel. And for chronic remote losers, you can actually make the remote ring using a button on the back of the set-top unit to find it hidden between the couch cushions.
As we’ve noted before, there are technically more powerful boxes on the market if you are a hardcore enthusiast, but Google’s long-term software support pipeline adds massive value here. At its original retail price, it was a tough sell for some. At $74.99 for either colorway, the Google TV Streamer is an absolute steal and a must-have for your living room.
