The Google TV Streamer 4K is back down to its all-time low price on Amazon, and if you’ve been waiting for a reason to upgrade your living room setup, this is it.
While it may not be the outright best Android TV box, it’s a remarkably solid device that’s an easy recommendation at just $79.99. It gets software updates, actually looks good, and just works. That’s half the battle with an Android TV box.
Discounts on the Google TV Streamer haven’t been as regular as the Chromecast. While the market is flooded with cheap streaming sticks, the price rarely budges on this premium model. That said, discounts are more readily available coming up two years after launch.
The biggest bonus of this specific sale is that you can grab the device in both colors, whereas previous deals were annoyingly limited to just the Porcelain model. This makes it the perfect opportunity to snag a competent TV companion in the aesthetic that actually matches your home decor.
Originally launched as the powerful successor to the now-discontinued Chromecast with Google TV, this set-top box brings several key internal upgrades. It boasts a 22% faster processor, double the memory, and a generous 32GB of onboard storage, ensuring a much smoother interface and plenty of room for all your streaming apps.
In terms of physical design, the shift from a dongle to a set-top box allows for an integrated Ethernet port and a full-sized HDMI port. It is worth noting that Google does not include an HDMI cable in the box, which remains a slight frustration. However, because you are saving a significant change with this $20 discount, you can easily pick up a high-quality cable and still feel like you secured a fantastic bargain. Beyond the hardware specs, the Streamer delivers a beautiful 4K HDR experience with full support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio.
If you have an aging Chromecast or something you need to add Google TV to a new screen in your home, you can do much worse than the TV Streamer at the $79.99 price. It’s a solid buy, if not the best option for the AV enthusiast.
