Walmart is preparing an updated version of its budget Onn 4K Pro streaming box with Google Gemini AI and Matter smart home support. The device listing appeared on Walmart's website before an official announcement.

The refreshed Onn 4K Pro maintains the same remote design as its predecessor but adds voice-controlled device location features. The integration of Google's Gemini AI assistant expands the box's capabilities beyond traditional streaming functions, while Matter support enables compatibility with a wider range of smart home devices. The original Onn 4K Pro launched in May 2024 as an affordable streaming alternative. Technical schematics for the updated model leaked earlier, prompting the device listing discovery on Walmart's website. The update reflects broader industry trends toward AI integration and smart home connectivity in streaming devices. Pricing and exact availability details remain unconfirmed, though the listing suggests an imminent release. The Onn line continues Walmart's strategy of offering budget-friendly alternatives to premium streaming boxes from competitors like Roku and Amazon.
