Walmart’s 1080p Android TV stick might have an absurdly low price
If you think Walmart’s 4K box is affordable, you’ll be in for it. Android TV Guide and 9to5Google I found a listing on Walmart for an Onn FHD streaming stick that sells for just $ 24.88 – the lowest price ever for an Android TV in the US.
It’s not clear how Walmart cut costs to make its 1080p Android TV so affordable, though the 1GB of RAM suggests the stick uses significantly lower hardware. However, it still has the remote control you saw with the 4K device, so you still have voice control from the Google Assistant, as well as shortcuts to services like Disney Plus, Netflix, and HBO Max.

As with the launch of the 4K streamer, Walmart didn’t say exactly when its Android TV stick will be shipped. It is simply described as “out of stock”. However, if the story is any clue, it will hit stores relatively soon.
The Walmart deal could be a good value if you’re just looking for the cheapest Android TV you can find. It’s half the cost of Chromecast with Google TV. Even so, the Onn UHD streaming device only costs about $ 5 more. It might be worth buying the slightly more expensive unit to future-proof your setup, even if you don’t plan on buying a 4K TV anytime soon.
