Google TV 4K Walmart Streaming Stick: A Potential Chromecast Replacement

Walmart may be gearing up to finally release a Google TV streaming stick that supports 4K video output, potentially offering a viable alternative to Google’s Chromecast.

Before the Google TV Streamer, the Chromecast with Google TV was a popular choice due to its compact size and ease of use. However, with Walmart’s Onn 4K Plus using a puck form factor connected by an HDMI cable for 4K output, the Chromecast’s reign may be coming to an end.

Recent findings from Android TV Guide suggest that Walmart is in the works of creating a 4K Google TV streaming stick. This device would provide 4K output and run on a Realtek RTD1325 chipset, setting it apart from other Walmart streamers that typically use Amlogic chips. With 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, this stick looks promising.

While details on the release date and price remain unknown, the 4K Google TV streaming stick would fill a gap in Walmart’s current lineup, which includes an FHD streaming stick for $20, a 4K streaming puck for $25, and a 4K Plus streaming puck for $30, with rumors of a potential price increase to $40. This new device could potentially land in the sweet spot of the $25-30 price range.

Additionally, Walmart is expected to launch a new Pro entry soon, keeping fans on their toes for more exciting developments.
