If you recently walked through the electronics aisle at Walmart and thought the prices on its Onn streaming devices looked higher than before, you were not mistaken. Walmart appears to be raising prices across its Onn streaming lineup, shifting long-standing budget tiers upward without a formal announcement.
What Changed
For years, Walmart’s Onn devices followed a simple, predictable pricing structure. That structure is now moving higher across multiple models.
Previous vs Current Pricing
- HD Streaming Stick
- Was: $15
- Now: $20
- 4K Streaming Box (base model)
- Was: $20
- Now: $25
- 4K Plus
- Was: $30
- Now: $40
These are clean increases of $5 to $10, not typical short-term fluctuations or temporary sale pricing.
Pricing May Not Be Consistent Yet
Walmart has not issued a formal announcement about these changes, and pricing may not yet be consistent across all stores and listings. Some online listings still reflect earlier price points, suggesting the increase is still rolling out rather than a single, system-wide change.
What This Means for Shoppers
Onn devices have long been a go-to option for budget-conscious streamers, offering a low-cost way to get the Google TV experience. That remains true, but the value proposition has shifted. The devices are still affordable, but no longer as aggressively priced as they once were, narrowing the gap between Onn devices and other streaming hardware in the $30 to $50 range.
Still a Budget Option, Just Not the Same Bargain
Even with the increase, Onn devices remain one of the least expensive ways to get a full-featured Google TV experience. However, the days of the clear-cut $15, $20, and $30 tiers appear to be over - at least for now. Seasonal sales could still bring temporary discounts, as events like Black Friday and other major promotions often include streaming devices, meaning familiar price points may return during sale periods even if everyday pricing has moved higher.
