Google’s leaked “Magic Button” is found on an unreleased Google TV streaming box made by Walmart. The new Onn 4K Pro has a remote with the star “customizable button.”

Google’s rumored “Magic Button” shortcut for Google TV has been spotted in the wild on a real-world remote for an upcoming streaming box... made by Walmart. AFTVnews got hold of Walmart’s still-unreleased Onn 4K Pro — a Google TV-powered streaming box — and the remote features the new star button in the top right corner. The device simply calls it the “customizable button,” and it can be programmed as a shortcut to an app or to allow you to change inputs.

It first appeared in marketing materials for Google’s debut Chromecast TV in 2020. Then last year, it appeared inside Android TV beta code, suggesting it could come to an upcoming Chromecast under the name “Magic Button.” Google has its I/O developer conference coming on May 14th, and it’s possible the company could reveal a new version of Chromecast there. The Onn 4K Pro was leaked last week in a YouTube livestream by Superdell-TV.
