Google TV Streamer and the Onn 4K Pro have a lot of similarities. But it's around the edges where you might find that one fits you better than the other.
We now have two new contenders in 2024 to take the top spot for the best Google TV device you can buy. Google TV Streamer — which replaces Chromecast with Google TV — and the Walmart-exclusive Onn 4K Pro .
Related Price Price is perhaps the biggest difference between Google TV Streamer and Onn 4K Pro. The former costs twice as much as the latter — $99 versus $49. And that’s not to say it’s twice as good. That’s just not how this works at all. Onn 4K Pro, meanwhile, has microphones in the body that you can use to pick up on voice commands, so you don’t need to hold down a button on the remote control first. That’s handy if you don’t have any other always-listening devices around.
Onn 4K Pro is more along the lines of an Amazon Echo device, with its always-on microphones. Google TV Streamer doesn’t have that. On the other hand, if you have some other device that can handle the hands-free voice commands — like a Nest Hub — then that may be a moot point. Other front-page features for Google TV Streamer include the new Google Home panel to show cameras and lights and other things inside the Google TV interface. There’s also new AI-generated ambient art. But those features also are coming to Onn 4K Pro and other Google TV devices.
Winner: There is no true winner here. Each mostly does something different than the other. Either way, it’s close. I’d maybe give the edge to Google TV Streamer for supporting more video formats.
