New Walmart streaming device coming

You may have noticed that the Walmart brand ONN Streaming Device and Stick have both been hard to find lately. Maybe you haven't.

Some people seem to love the devices, and others are more "meh" about them. I'm in the "meh" camp.

As posted a couple of months ago, the devices were disappearing from shelves, with some speculation that Walmart was discontinuing the device altogether.

I had thought this was possible because of the deal to carry the new Xumo player from Comcast and Charter. Or that it was simply the older line being discontinued to make way for an updated line. It now appears the updated line is on the way, according to a tweet from @AndroidTV_Rumor:

Looks like @Walmart is planning to release a new 4K #AndroidTV Dongle this year.

The ODM is @SDMCTECH (model DV6105Z) and it's more than likely using an #Amlogic S905Y4.

Not sure when this year it might hit the shelves.

Maybe the device will have enough of a bump in specs to change my mind about the line. Previously, I said the box was okay but the stick was awful. It would be nice if the devices were upgraded and made a viable alternative when looking for a Google TV device to use in your Streaming Life.
