Walmart’s $9 Google TV stick may be Black Friday’s best streaming deal

Got a relative who’s yet to wade into the wide world of streaming? Walmart’s svelte Google TV streaming stick will make for the perfect stocking stuffer, and it’s priced to move for Black Friday. 

On sale for a mere $9, a steep 43-percent price drop compared to its $14.88 list price, Walmart’s Onn Full HD Streaming Device is a compact stick that plugs directly into your TV’s HDMI port. Just connect it to power using the included Micro USB cable and you’re ready to start streaming, complete with support for Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+, Apple TV, and more. 

The Onn Full HD Streaming Device is powered by Google TV, which offers a sleek, easy-to-use interface that’s perfect for cord-cutting beginners. Included in the box is a Google TV voice remote, which lets you search for movies and TV shows using voice commands. 

The stick delivers full-HD video-streaming quality, while dual-band Wi-Fi should help to keep buffering at bay. Under the hood is 8GB of strorage for streaming apps, along with 1.5GB of RAM to keep the Google TV interface running smoothly. 

We’ve tested Walmart’s Onn streaming players in the past and came away impressed by their performance and reliability, and at just $9, the Onn Full HD Streaming Device ranks as perhaps the best streaming video deal we’ve come across this Black Friday week. 

A final note: this particular Onn streaming device comes with three months of free Apple TV—meaning the stick pretty much pays for itself, considering that Apple TV normally costs $12.99 a month.
