- Thomson is gearing up to launch a new 4K streaming box powered by Google TV, and it’s an upgrade over the Google TV Streamer in two key ways.
- The Thomson Google TV Streaming Box 260 Pro 4K offers 4GB of memory, 64GB of storage, and two USB-A ports.
- It’s an enticing option for those that need lots of onboard storage and USB-A connections, but it crucially lacks Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support.
The official Google TV Streamer is a compelling 4K streaming box for Android users and anyone in the Google ecosystem, but it’s a premium offering priced at $100 — unless you catch it on sale. Those seeking a cheaper option might look to smaller brands, like Thomson or Onn, for a Google TV-powered streaming box at a more palatable price point. Thomson has a new streaming box that will surely rival the Google TV Streamer, but it includes a mix of upgrades and downgrades.
It’s called the Thomson Google TV Streaming Box 260 Pro 4K, and we know everything about it — except the price — thanks to a new product listing on Thomson’s website. The streaming box supports 4K video at 60FPS and is powered by the Amlogic 905X5M-B chipset, which uses a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 CPU and an ARM G310 V2 GPU.
