Summary

  • The Walmart Onn 4K Pro, an affordable Android TV box, receives an unexpected Android 14 update with bug fixes.
  • The update brings a new boot screen and possibly smoother operation, though some users report system crashes.
  • The update aligns the Onn 4K Pro closer to Google TV Streamer, making it a favorite budget device.

When it comes to affordable Android-based streaming boxes, Walmart’s Onn 4K Pro stands alone at a $50 price point, which is why it’s our current best value choice. It’s a performant little Android TV box that won’t break the bank, but affordable products usually have to cut corners somewhere, and frequent updates aren’t something Walmart’s Onn is known for, which is why it’s exciting to see the company has dropped an Android 14 update out of the blue with a handful of fixes in tow.

Walmart’s Onn 4K Pro is getting a major update to a new Android version

So far, the rollout appears to be US-only

Thanks to a post on Reddit by user geeeman5510 (via Android Authority), we now know an update to Android 14 is rolling out to Walmart’s Onn 4K Pro streaming box. As noted in the user’s screenshot, this update also brings with it a Security Patch Level update and some bug fixes. It’s likely some of these bug fixes are simply the result of moving from an older Android version to a newer one, but a more stable device is certainly welcome no matter who technically squashed the bugs. At the end of the day, the Onn 4K Pro is now more in line with the Google TV Streamer that is also running Android 14.

So far, those who have updated their device have reported a “new boot screen with black background” along with smoother operation. Other users have mentioned that a few settings crash their systems. While it’s never fun to perform a hard reset, sometimes moving from one Android version to another can be buggy, so if you experience anything out of the norm, wiping your system and starting fresh with the new version may be a good way to squash those bugs.

Overall, it’s nice to see the Onn 4K Pro receiving an update to Android 14 to bring it more in line with Google’s TV Streamer, all at a fraction of the price, ensuring the Onn 4K Pro will remain one of our favorites for some time to come.
