Score: 72/100Rankings
The onn 4K Plus Streaming Device offers Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos support with Wi-Fi 6 for smooth 4K streaming. Its lack of Ethernet and limited ports constrain connectivity options. Best suited for budget-conscious households that rely on fast Wi-Fi and the Google TV ecosystem.
The TiVo Stream 4K is an Android TV-based dongle that aggregates streaming apps and live TV into a single interface while delivering 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It is held back by an older processor, limited RAM/storage and no wired Ethernet, making it less suitable for power users. Best for casual streamers who want a simple, voice-controlled hub at a budget price.

Professional reviewers commend the TiVo Stream 4K for its content aggregation that simplifies browsing across multiple services and for delivering solid 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos performance at a budget price. However, they criticize the modest Amlogic S905Y2 processor, the lack of Ethernet, and the outdated Android 9.0 operating system, noting these as trade-offs for the dongle's compact form factor.
Everyday users praise the device for its easy setup, responsive voice remote, and the "headache-free" unified recommendations that make managing multiple streaming accounts simple. Recurring complaints focus on the limited 8 GB internal storage, occasional app lag, the need for AAA batteries in the remote, and the absence of a wired Ethernet connection for more stable streaming.
Professional reviewers commend the onn 4K Plus for its surprisingly snappy navigation, excellent 4K HDR picture quality, and premium feel given its 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage, while also noting the absence of an Ethernet port and limited connectivity options.
Everyday users praise the device for its quick setup, vibrant 4K visuals, reliable Google Assistant voice control, and overall value, but commonly mention occasional buffering on weak networks, limited storage without sideloading, and the lack of Ethernet or USB ports as drawbacks.
“Fast setup, vibrant 4K colors/detail on YouTube/Netflix, reliable Google Assistant voice search, and value for smooth streaming without lag”
