“After reviewing the Streaming Stick Plus and comparing it to other streamers, I think it packs a decent amount of power (and Roku’s convenient interface) into a small dongle.”

“The Roku Streaming Stick Plus might be the more robust of the company’s new streaming sticks, but it’s far from powerful, suffering from a little lag when navigating the Roku interface.”

The Roku Streaming Stick+ delivers strong 4K HDR streaming with improved Wi-Fi range and an intuitive interface, but lacks Dolby Vision/Atmos support and suffers from occasional home screen pop-in delays. Despite these minor flaws, it remains a very good value for its price.
