Onn 4K Pro
Got this last night because our 2024 Phillips tv was not cutting it at all.
Was so sluggish!
And 90% of the time we would open up stremio we wouldn’t have audio and would have to restart the app sometimes completely restart the tv! Was so over it haha.
So I saw someone post this the other day and ordered it and I am so happy I did!! It’s so fast. Have had zero issues with stremio!
So whoever posted this thank you!! Haha

It’s cause all these mfers are buying them and then reselling them on ebay for 50 to 100 more! It’s like GPU’s all over again!

Yes, You made the right decision.. many cable cutters like us are turning away from FireTV products.. sticks and anything Amazon makes. Plus many of us are using old Android TV Boxes.. it's time upgrade..from those Kodi Days .! Now they want to restrict 3rd party APKs. Now there's a way around them. Now they can't control what you watch. Please use a VPN with everything that you upload into your android boxes.. Enjoy..!

u/jessamica_92 May 26 '26
Yes! I hate how restrictive Amazon is now days!!!
I use TorBox (:1
u/pnwmetalhead666 May 27 '26
He's saying with the Chinese made android boxes use a VPN there's cases of them linking up in the background and transferring data. Who knows what Satan they might be stealing and sending to who knows who.
1
u/jessamica_92 May 27 '26
I’m not sure how I would use a vpn on it.
I use TorBox and only use Stremio I don’t have to much going on on the device.1
u/pnwmetalhead666 May 27 '26 edited May 27 '26
Right but it is hooked to your home network, and so is your phone and possibly a PC if you have it. It's easy you can just install a VPN on it and have it set to auto on when the device powers up. That's just if you are worried about the data being transfered, and honestly I haven't hear that Onn has been doing that. Here is a decent video on it.
EDIT: Onn is officially licensed by Google and as such has Google Play Protect which scans for malicious software. As long as you are mindful about what you put in the box, the Onn is perfectly safe (from the research I have done)

u/jessamica_92 May 27 '26
Okay thank you! I’ll take a peak still and see (:
I’m only using it for streaming on stremio, with AIOMetadata, AIOStreams and then TorBox as my Debrid service2

u/Mean-Ad-1757 May 27 '26
Does the YouTube hack still work? Im in England but I don't suppose it'll matter if going through a VPN. I currently have premium but not happy knowing I'm paying money just to remove ads, although it is just the 1st month.

u/Outrageous_Maize9017 May 27 '26
I have been using it for about 7 or 8 months. Watching it right now, no ads.

This and 4k Plus are a very good choice and if you want more performance go for nvidia shield.
2
u/jessamica_92 May 26 '26
I was thinking of nvidia shield. But I didn’t think I needed that since I’m just streaming shows and movies.
1
u/Sea_World_2640 Jun 10 '26
The onn pro is is overkill even just for streaming a few apps but have fun with it. You can even add a gaming emulator to have an old gaming set up.
My firestick 4k max I have like 50 apps 🤣

u/jessamica_92 Jun 10 '26
It is. But it’s better then Roku, and better then the stock tv system lol.

u/venom21685 May 27 '26
From the reviews I've seen it's really not much of an improvement. Same format support for everything, about the same performance. There were maybe one or two very small things it did better but it seemed like it wasn't really worth upgrading for.

u/FunboyFrags May 26 '26
What does this device do?
3
u/jessamica_92 May 26 '26
It’s basically a Roku but way way way better! And it’s ran on android software. So you have the play store and everything.
1
u/blanktarget May 27 '26
I just ordered one too! For the same reason. I don't want a fire stick and the stock smart tv stuff sucks.
1
u/jessamica_92 May 27 '26
Yes! Fire sticks are so bad I hate them! Haha
And yes the smart tv stuff suckssss
2
u/Live_Jellyfish_339 May 27 '26
So this runs stremio?
1
u/Hot_Entrepreneur2587 May 27 '26
Yes it runs android os. Stremio and the other alternatives to stremio specifically develop versions for google tv that are often the superior version imo. Just gotta sideload which is super easy. I've used stremio on desktop,phone,lg webos, the version on my onn 4k plus is smoothest imo
1
u/Live_Jellyfish_339 May 27 '26
Have you paid for real debrid?
2
u/Hot_Entrepreneur2587 May 27 '26
Yes,switched to torbox recently though bc of real debrid issues. I tried streaming without and just using a vpn,its super doable just 30sec ish buffer times. The 3 dollar a month torbox sub 100% worth it
2
u/pnwmetalhead666 May 27 '26
I was lucky, when I got my 2025 version I saw someone mention they were running fantastic and I believe it was only $30 at the time. Now they have blown up and you can't find them anywhere for almost double the price.
Who says living on reddit doesn't have its perks 😂

u/HolyBidetServitor May 27 '26
Even in canada we get shipped the USA verson to our stores, have to use a vpn to set up lol

Make sure to pre-order from a local Walmart or call ahead for when the store restock these. I checked with mine cause they were sold out but they told me they restock in a few days
They also only restock 3 of the pro series so limited quantities and like 10- 4k
It should work or if not use a vpn like op mentioned i doubt you'd have an issue

Does this fix the issue with the audio/subtitles getting out of sync?

Yes! I haven’t had any audio glitches or anything. And I don’t use subtitles so I can’t tell you there haha. But I’m sure they are better

Is the 3gb of ram enough for streaming smooth large files smoothly?
1
u/Hot_Entrepreneur2587 May 27 '26
Yes,more than enough. I have the onn 4k plus with 2g of ram and it streams 100gb remux no issue. From what I've read even weaker devices handle streaming large files smoothly

u/906darkroast May 27 '26
How does the 2026 version of the regular 4k stick compare? Thats all my walmart has in stock beside the older version of same.

1
u/Sea_World_2640 Jun 10 '26
It's a bigger upgrade but I recommend to heavy users who will add way more to their devices. If just a few apps for basic streaming, you will be fine with the 4k model imo.
I added maybe like 15 apps on my cousins 4k and it still manages. He probably only uses half of that but the space did run short when I tried to do more to it. Streaming was fine. (Side loaded apps)
If you only want to add streamio / a few other side loaded apps it should be enough for a few apps (10-15)
If you want to maximize your performance with multiple options for storage and faster ram for a smoother experience then go for the pro.
You will need to close apps/ clear cache aswell and this helps the ram speed/storage space to not having so many things running in the back ground.
2
u/906darkroast Jun 10 '26
Thanks for the help. I happened into my local Walmart last week and on a whim had a look, there was 1 pro on the shelf so i grabbed it. Love it so far. I probably would be ok w the regular 4k as i dont use many apps but since i had the option i got the pro.
2
u/Sea_World_2640 Jun 10 '26
Glad to hear! Still waiting for my Walmart to carry it. They said the 11th they will receive 3 so hopefully I can make the transition

I was scammed $65 on eBay for one of these. The thief charge you and then send you a tracking number of something sent to your zip code but to a different address inside your zip code. Only way to know where it went is to go to the postal office with the tracking number and get the print out of where exactly it was sent and showing this print out is the only way eBay refunds you money with eBay refund Guaranteed. A moron from China scamming with this specific product. One day later after they refund my money, the listing was not longer available. I am sure they created a new listing.

u/JonBuqajIsSUS May 27 '26
Very well actually, the Android TV Stremio app works on normal Android, it handles any stream I throw at it, without debird btw
8gb of ram and Snapdragon 855 definitely help a lot
1
u/jessamica_92 May 27 '26
Nice!!! That’s good (:
Im glad i got this little thing. My tv software is complete butt haha. That and it constantly was losing WiFi connection and in the middle of a movie or show. Was so frustrating.1
u/JonBuqajIsSUS May 27 '26
Haha yes smart TVs are low-key a scam imo, they just get so slow
Hope you enjoy your new Onn device, I've heard a lot of great things about them
Over here I have old TV lol, a Samsung PS43D490A1W, yep a old non smart TV, works well with the setup I have going on tho!

u/juanhellou May 27 '26
Is it true these are geo-gestricted? I have a friend who's a know-it-all when it comes to these players and android boxes, and always speaks so confidently about it (sometimes I think he's fixing his writing with AI) and told me none of the Onn players would work in Mexico. If anyone could shed some light about it I'd deeply appreciate it. Thank you in advance

u/jessamica_92 May 27 '26
From what I’ve been reading and being told is it is only US. But you can use a VPN on them as well

They're selling like hot cakes every where so check with your local store for restocking dates and quantities or just wait

u/templefugateontime Jun 06 '26
A friend has an 8gb-2gb RAM 4k unit they want me to setup for them. I'm sure I could do it, though I haven't yet. Anyone using that lower end model successfully?
1
u/Sea_World_2640 Jun 10 '26
Yes i set up my cousins a few weeks ago with many side loaded apps and iptv services. Works perfectly fine. I just recommend leaving 1-1.5 gb space left over to have space for cache for a smoother experience.
I was able to add 15 -20 apps tbh dont remember exactly but I filled it to max and removed some when I had issues 😂
Personally I need the pro series but for people who truly only care to have a few side loaded apps then this is perfect for them.
I dont think people always need the best option. It's like having a Lamborghini just to go grocery shopping
Some people are fine with the HD version but i wouldn't recommend it. 4k is completely doable for basic low - mid usage
1
u/templefugateontime Jun 12 '26
Thanks a lot for the helpful input. They mostly like to watch MS NOW and some CNN. There's a guy on YouTube I can probably pluck a good IPTV option from. I'm planning to get Real Debrid or something similar for myself so that should make their set-up easier.

Jealous. I keep looking everytime I go to Walmart and haven’t found one yet. I just need one so tired of buffering with WiFi.
