Google TV Streamer gets $50 price increase - 9to5Google
Google has increased the price of its Google TV Streamer by $50, bringing the cost to $149.99. The company attributes the hike to rising component costs, which are also affecting their Nest camera and doorbell product lines.
Why it matters
Rising hardware costs reflect broader inflationary pressures in the consumer electronics supply chain, impacting affordability for smart home users.
Google has quietly raised the price of the Google TV Streamer to $149.99.
This $50 increase is quite drastic for the 2024 Google TV device that launched at $99.99 and saw $20 discounts during the holidays. This new price is already live on the Google Store and Best Buy , but other retailers ( like Amazon ) are still selling it at the original price as of Monday afternoon.
This increase is presumably due to RAM pricing, with the Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5 already reflecting this new reality . The Google TV Streamer has 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage.
The Google Home Speaker remains priced at $99.99 , with the company presumably already factoring in the component increases during the June launch. However, various Nest Cams get price increases today.
