Roku Streaming Stick 4K HDMI Dongle

The company Roku has released an advanced version of its HDMI dongle, the Streaming Stick. Among the improvements are more powerful hardware. It supports Dolby Vision technology and a high-range Wi-Fi receiver. All of which enables streaming of 4K content. The device clearly hints at creating competition for another dongle – Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max.

There are several ways to control the device: via the included remote control with voice command support, and through compatible devices with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. Alternatively, via Apple AirPlay 2 or the TV’s built-in remote thanks to HDMI CEC support. The Roku remote can turn on the TV, adjust the volume, and control the device itself. Voice control significantly speeds up the search for desired content.

One of the features is ultra-fast startup of streaming services like Disney+, Prime Video, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Netflix, Sling, and Hulu. Even if the router is far from the dongle, the new Wi-Fi receiver ensures a stable connection and high data transfer speeds.

The Roku mobile app adds the ability to listen to audio tracks on a smartphone or tablet via wired or wireless headphones. The Streaming Stick 4K connects via the side USB port and requires 1.5A current, which is reliably supplied by the included power supply. The dongle is easy to connect, and the device software updates automatically.
