The onn. 4K Plus Streaming Device has already been seen on some Walmart store shelves, it is an update of the popular onn. 4K Streaming Device (2023). The main improvement seems to be the inclusion of the Amlogic S905X5M SoC S905Y5 and would be based on an SDMC design certified by Google and Netflix. This new Amlogic processor is manufactured in 6 nm, a hardware that will offer us a performance similar to the one we have in the Xiaomi TV Box 3rd Gen that we saw recently.
The default system is Google TV 14 with all the DRM certificates needed to watch the highest quality paid streaming channels. This micro Box is only intended for the US territory and in other regions will have blocked updates, in Europe we will see a Thomson version for sure.
