Walmart is planning changes to its Google TV streaming hardware, with stock of the current model fluctuating. The FHD Google TV stick, last updated in 2023, may be replaced as Walmart shifts production from SDMC to Skyworth, as suggested by an FCC listing.
Walmart's affordable FHD Google TV streaming stick has had stock visibility issues recently, vanishing briefly from the retailer's website. It has since reappeared available for purchase at $29.98, maintaining its status as a low-cost option in the market.
There are indications that Walmart may transition its Google TV streaming hardware production from SDMC to Skyworth. This potential change is backed by FCC listings from May, suggesting a larger strategy behind Walmart's Google TV lineup.
The current FHD model, introduced in 2023, is seen as overdue for an update due to its lack of refresh compared to other models. Speculation exists regarding whether the recently restocked version might be part of the new manufacturing line or just the old stock.
The transition in manufacturers may affect product availability, pricing, and features of Walmart’s Google TV products. Consumers may see some improvements or changes in future releases, depending on the partnerships and production processes with the new manufacturer.
