Google\u2019s rumored \u201cMagic Button\u201d shortcut for Google TV has been spotted in the wild on a real-world remote for an upcoming streaming box… made by Walmart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
AFTVnews<\/em> got hold<\/a> of Walmart\u2019s still-unreleased Onn 4K Pro \u2014\u00a0a Google TV-powered streaming box \u2014 and the remote features the new star button in the top right corner. The device simply calls it the \u201ccustomizable button,\u201d and it can be programmed as a shortcut to an app or to allow you to change inputs. It replaces the dedicated TV input button on previous Onn streaming box remotes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The button has been leaking as part of Google TV-adjacent hardware for years, but it hasn\u2019t actually showed up until now. It first appeared in marketing materials<\/a> for Google\u2019s debut Chromecast TV in 2020. Then last year, it appeared inside Android TV beta code<\/a>, suggesting it could come to an upcoming Chromecast under the name \u201cMagic Button.\u201d Google has its I\/O developer conference coming on May 14th<\/a>, and it\u2019s possible the company could reveal a new version of Chromecast there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Onn 4K Pro was leaked last week<\/a> in a YouTube livestream by Superdell-TV. The new device features a built-in smart speaker along with \u201cPro\u201d features like Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. The remote also has a large \u201cFree TV\u201d button that takes you to Google\u2019s FAST channels<\/a>. The device has yet to appear on Walmart\u2019s website, but the leaks suggest it\u2019ll be released in an official capacity very soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
