Walmart may be planning to release a sequel to its 2020 ultra-cheap Android TV streaming box. The new Android TV streaming box will come with improvements from the original Onn streaming devices. An FCC listing picked up by a tipster gives the first views of the upcoming Walmart Android TV dongle.
The Walmart Android TV dongle is a 4K streaming device based on the SDMCTECH design. It was submitted for FCC certification by Luxshare Precision Industry Co. The FCC listing actually indicated that the device is an Onn 4K streaming Box. There are several details lacking from the FCC listing outside its basic specifications. The streaming box will also support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth bands.
The rumored Walmart Android TV dongle will be running on the Amlogic S905Y4 chipset with AV1 support. It is an upgraded version of the S905Y2 used in the previous dongle. The device is rumored to come with Google TV support from the previous Android TV. This is a strategic marketing decision, as many brands have switched to Google TV. The original Onn Android TV dongles were impressive in their own rights. They came with an affordable price tag which was something that attracted demand for the products.
Walmart discontinued the production of the Onn streamers last year and stocks have quickly been exhausted. The FCC listing of the upcoming Onn Android TV streamer could indicate an imminent release. Pricing information and release details are however lacking at this time.
