- Roku has announced the new Stick and Streaming Stick Plus
- They replace the Express and Express 4K+
- He obtains a remote voice control in the box, in addition to a compact design, but the 4K transmission is also hitting
Roku has introduced two new transmission sticks that lose the general construction even more, and aims to stretch the value by including one of the most popular accessories of the brand.
Plus transmission and transmission are Roku’s smallest sticks so far, and represent the new entrance points to the brand alignment, replacing the Express and Express 4K+.
Both are aimed at offering most of the features you want to see on any transmission, stick or box device, and have a competitive price at $ 29.99 / £ 29.99 for the Stick and $ 39.99 / £ 39.99 for the PLUS (we are waiting for Australian prices to be confirmed). The early orders are open now, and the official shipping date is May 6.
These are the smallest and most compact devices of the brand so far: they are super thin sticks that are just a little thicker than an HDMI port.
That thin design should facilitate the connection of the HDMI slot on the back of its television, and Roku says that the design will not block its other ports. That is a fairly pleasant update, and the brand says that these sticks are more than 35% smaller than other brands, although it does not stand out to others.
The general design of Stick and Stick Plus is quite simple: there is a physical ignition button and a USB-C port, although Roku does not want it to connect to a wall socket; Rather, he says that he can connect the USB cable right on the back of his TV, since they do not need a large amount of energy to run.
The other attraction is portability, something that Roku believes that he is becoming a larger trend. If you go on vacation to a hotel or in an Airbnb, given the little one who is the stick or the stick, you can take the stick and cable to take it with you to access your favorite transmission services away from home. That is quite pleasant.
As the names suggest, the Roku Streaming Stick and Roku Stick Plus provide full access to the Roku platform, so you will get easy access to all the best transmission services such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV+and Max. That classic experience with the promise of future updates is still here.
The biggest change is that Roku includes a remote voice control in the frame with the stick or stick. In this way, you can simply use your voice to ask for your favorite programs and extract other content. This also levels the playing field with the alignment of Amazon Fire Stick, since the HD entry level stick (with a price of $ 34.99 / £ 39.99 / AU $ 69) is also sent with a remote control of Voice Alexa.
Roku’s transmission is compatible with an HD experience (resolution of up to 1080p), while the more transmission stick offers an experience up to 4K with HLG support, HDR 10 and HDR 10+, depending on the TV in which the stick plug. If you are looking for support for Dolby Vision, you must opt for 4K transmission, a pre -existing model that is sold for $ 49.99 / £ 49.99.
If it is already sold, perhaps it has been after a more affordable transmission stick of Roku and does not need support for Dolby Vision: the transmission and the Plus transmission lever are in favor of preordain now directly from Roku with a price of $ 29.99 / £ 29.99 and $ 39.99 / £ 39.99.
Let’s try and try the two new roku sticks as soon as we can.
