Walmart’s budget Onn Google TV stick now costs double, because why not

• The price of Walmart’s Onn TV Stick Full HD has been increased from $14 to $30.
• While the reason remains unclear, it’s assumed to be linked to RAM and storage shortages.
• Walmart already has a newer model on the way, but an exact launch date remains unclear.

Walmart’s Onn TV stick is one of the most cost-effective ways to breathe new life into an old dumb TV with Google TV. Walmart sells two variants: one with 4K support and another with Full HD. The latter, officially called the “Full HD Streaming Device,” was launched in 2023 for just $14 and occasionally dips below $10.

While its price has been one of its biggest draws, it’s no longer the same. And no, I’m not talking about a newer, previously leaked model finally launching at a slightly higher price. Rather, the prices for the existing three-year-old model are now being jacked up to $30, which is more than double the original price.
