Google TV Streamer Price Hikes to $150 Amid Rising Component Costs
The Google TV Streamer has seen a significant price hike of 50% in the US. The device, which was launched in 2024, is now available for $149.99, up from its previous price of $99.99. This increase is attributed to rising component costs, particularly AI-driven RAM and storage shortages.
Google's statement confirms that prices have been adjusted for select products, including the Nest Cam and doorbells, due to increasing manufacturing bills. The change took effect on August 31.
Amazon and Walmart are still selling remaining units at the older price of $99.99, but it is unclear how long this will last. Those interested in purchasing the device should act quickly to take advantage of the lower price before it disappears.
The Google TV Streamer offers advanced features such as a fast processor, smart home capabilities, and a redesigned remote. However, consumers may want to consider alternatives like Walmart's Onn 4K Pro (2026) with Google TV, which costs $60 but has reduced specifications.
