Roku Streaming Stick Plus review

It's not tough to see why Roku beats Apple, Amazon and Google by making the most popular streamers . They combine affordability and a simple design with more useful features and apps than the competition.

Roku Streaming Stick+

No Dolby Vision HDR support. Voice search is much more limited than on other media streamers.

The Roku Streaming Stick+ is an impressive little media streamer. For just $70, it offers access to loads of 4K streaming content, with support for HDR10 where it's available. Considering the extensive selection of apps and services Roku offers, this...

Roku Streaming Stick+ review: The best Roku for most people

This is the Roku Streaming Stick+ is the best Roku to buy, whether you have a 4K TV or not.

No separate remote necessary for TV volume and power ; Zippy interface with some much-improved apps ; 4K HDR on the cheap

Voice control features are inferior to other platforms ; Interface could use some fresh ideas for content discovery ; Advertisement takes up almost half the home screen

The main thing that’s changed since 2017 is that Amazon’s Fire TV devices have become much more competitive. The $50 Fire TV Stick 4K, for instance, is an to the Roku Streaming Stick+, with speedy performance, top-notch HDR format support, and a lot of...

Roku Streaming Stick Plus Review: The Ultimate 4K Streaming Stick

The Roku Streaming Stick+ is simply the most complete 4K HDR streaming device you can get for the price.

Inexpensive ; Full 4K HDR capabilities ; Huge app selection ; Customizable interface

Remote lacks an audio jack ; Search could be deeper

The Roku Streaming Stick+'s remote could have used an audio port. Watching your own content requires a media server. The search could stand to expand its depth in addition to its breadth. Beyond that, I can't find many faults with the device. If you...
