Onn 4K Pro 2026: A $60 Google TV challenger
Android Authority’s Joe Maring spends a month with Walmart’s Onn 4K Pro (2026) and concludes it’s a standout value at $60 that can rival the Google TV Streamer: it delivers Dolby Vision/Atmos, 32GB storage, a feature-packed remote with Find My Remote, and a USB-A port, plus solid performance on a Wi‑Fi 6 box. Still, it’s not perfect: 100Mbps Ethernet, only 3GB RAM, and only modest upgrades over the 2024 model. For many buyers the Onn 4K Pro (2026) offers better value than the $100 Google TV Streamer, though power users may still prefer Google’s box for the faster Ethernet, more RAM, and quicker updates.

Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC Elvis Doc Delivers a Show-Stopping IMAX Spectacle

Powell and Qualley Spark a Sharp but Flawed Killer Black Comedy
Glen Powell and Margaret Qualley headline John Patton Ford’s How to Make a Killing, a brisk but uneven black comedy about greed, murder, and inheritance told through a death-row narration. Powell’s charm and Qualley’s devilish presence keep the film watchable, but the plotting and tonal edge don’t quite cohere, leaving a witty but imperfect cautionary tale about how far some will go for family fortune.
