Compared to previous models from Roku, these new devices can be powered directly by the television, eliminating the need for hanging cables and delivering a cleaner, more streamlined setup.
Plus, the sleek design won’t block neighbouring HDMI ports, so users can switch from streaming to gaming with ease. Some older TVs might not be able to power the Streaming Stick or Streaming Stick Plus via HDMI alone, so there is a USB cable in the box.
According to Roku, the new design is 35% smaller than rival offerings, despite shipping with more power underneath the bonnet. This svelte new size should make it easier to pack a Roku device with you when travelling, so you can continue watching your favourite shows on a hotel TV or at a friend's house.
No matter where you choose, the newly-launched Roku Streaming Stick or the Streaming Stick Plus, you'll benefit from the following perks of the new hardware:
- Access to the most popular streaming providers and apps — Netflix, iPlayer, Prime Video, YouTube, and more
- Apple AirPlay 2 — connect your iPhone or Apple device wirelessly to stream content or beam photos
- Headphone Mode – listening to your entertainment on your terms
- Voice Control – control your Roku device or find a film by a quote
- What to Watch – tailor-made recommendations, and you can jump straight back into your content

If you want to stream in 4K Ultra HD, you'll need to purchase the Roku Streaming Stick Plus. This upgraded model arrives with support for vivid HDR colour via format standards like HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. Like its cheaper counterpart, you'll find a voice-enabled remote control in the box.
The Plus model also features better Wi-Fi standards (802.11ac) compared to the basic version.
If you're deciding between the two models, the main difference is resolution — HD for the Streaming Stick, while the Streaming Stick Plus enjoys 4K HDR resolution. Both sticks are compatible with Apple AirPlay, HomeKit, Google Home and Alexa for smart home integration.
However, if you're looking to invest a little more, the Streaming Stick 4K is another option that's also on sale.
Both sticks support 4K HDR viewing and Roku’s clean, easy‑to‑use interface.

Otherwise, the Streaming Stick Plus delivers great core features at a lower price.
