Google TV Streamer Price Increases by 50%
Google has announced a 50 percent price increase for the Google TV streamer. You can still purchase it at the old price for now, but you'll need to hurry.
If you're thinking of buying a new electronic device for yourself or as a Christmas gift, it's best to act soon. The PlayStation 5 Pro is currently out of stock in many areas, and the prices of other consoles are also rising. Computer prices are getting even more expensive, and supplies are becoming scarce. Apple TV 4K and other media players have already seen significant price increases.
The Google TV Streamer Gets More Expensive
So, it was only a matter of time before the Google TV streamer, successor to the Chromecast, also saw a price increase.
Google first announced a 50 percent price increase in the US, raising the price from $100 to $150. However, it is expected that prices will rise in other countries soon.
• "Due to rising component costs, we are adjusting the US selling prices of some Google Nest cameras, doorbells and Google TV 4K starting August 31st. We are committed to providing our customers with the best smart home security and continuous feature updates," Google told 9to5Google.
For comparison, Apple TV 4K has increased by up to 67 percent, Roku by up to 60 percent, Amazon Fire TV by up to 43 percent, and Walmart Onn by up to 102 percent. These increases are due to the rising cost of memory chips.
The Google TV streamer is a small, box-shaped device that upgrades all your displays to Google TV.
