Walmart is giving its Google TV Streamer competitor box a makeover… sort of

Walmart is rolling out a new design for Onn 4K Pro, the retailer’s competition to the Google TV Streamer, at least for the box it comes in.

The Onn 4K Pro launched last year as what was, at the time, the best Google TV streaming device on the market. More horsepower, a backlit remote, and more made the device appealing, and all the more so at a price tag of just under $50.

In the time since, the $30 Onn 4K Plus has launched with similar experience and, also, a new design language for the packaging in line with Walmart’s ever-changing Onn brand.

Onn 4K Pro is now getting the same treatment. Gone is the punch-you-in-the-face neon yellow box we’ve known, with Walmart instead giving the Google TV streamer a blue packaging design. Not a ton has changed, but the new design does better emphasize the hands-free voice control – “Hey Google” – support than the previous design did.

This is purely a packaging change, from the looks of it. Walmart even says that it’s the “same great streaming device,” just with a “new look.” The design of the device itself is also unchanged.

You might end up seeing both in stock at your local store, and shipping will also be a lottery, but it really doesn’t matter as the device itself is what you’re buying.

Onn 4K Pro, and the aforementioned Onn 4K Plus, are available at Walmart now.
