Google TV Streamer Price Hike
Google has implemented a $50 price increase for its 2024 Google TV Streamer. The device, which originally launched at $99.99, is now listed at $149.99 on the Google Store and Best Buy. Some retailers, such as Amazon, were still selling it at the original price as of Monday afternoon.
Reason for the Increase
The price adjustment is presumably a response to rising costs of RAM components. The Google TV Streamer features 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. This trend of increasing component costs has also been observed with the Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5.
Impact on Other Google Devices
While the Google Home Speaker maintains its $99.99 price, with its June launch presumably factoring in component increases, several Nest Cam models have also seen price increases. Google has not yet provided an official statement regarding these changes.
