Roku Streaming Stick 4K Plus review: Audio and video Navigation was fairly smooth, though scrolling quickly through Netflix or Disney Plus did get a bit choppy here and there. Apps loaded quickly -В generally within 5 to 6 seconds, but occasionally more like 10 seconds. In my personal testing, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K Plus felt snappy.

But the main takeaway is that the Roku Streaming Stick 4K Plus generally performs better than the Fire TV Stick 4K for most of the major apps. ThereвЂ™s a small margin of error with this kind of eyeball/stopwatch test. The times, as you'll see below, are pretty similar throughout.

I didnвЂ™t have one to test against the new device, but but we did have the top $50 streaming devices: the Chromecast with Google TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K.ДЄs a test, we restarted the Roku Streaming Stick 4K, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and the Chromecast with Google TV, and then (using a stopwatch app) timed how long it took to open Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus, Sling TV and Apple TV Plus. Roku added a new quad-core processor to the Streaming Stick 4K Plus that the company claims makes it 30 percent faster than the previous model. Roku Streaming Stick 4K Plus review: Performance I had one awkward moment with private listening via the app, though: I heard small beeps during the first few minutes of testing. Roku's added optimizations for wireless headphones this year, for reducing latency (of which I saw none) between sound and video. The Roku mobile app allows you to have private listening via whatever headphones you use. The Fire TV's Live TV grid, though, integrates with cord-cutter services such as Sling TV - a huge boon for cord-cutters like myself.

This section only allows The Roku Channel's free linear TV content (which is made up of ad-supported content from names you may be familiar with, such as This Old House, ABC News Live, NBC News Now, Vice), and your mileage may vary. Roku's also allowing you to edit the grid in The Roku Channel's Live TV section, though this is where I found myself disappointed. It didnвЂ™t start playing the episode I was in the middle of (instead letting me decide where to start), but IвЂ™m not mad about it. But the same command for Squid Game worked perfectly and found the Korean dramaвЂ™s title page. I tried it out and said вЂњHey Roku, play Maid on Netflix.вЂќ Now, вЂњMaidвЂќ is a tricky word, so Roku opened a Netflix search screen. The other voice improvement is that you can directly launch shows on Netflix and music on Spotify with a command. This is a feature missing on Fire TV Stick 4K and Chromecast With Google TV, so Roku now has a leg up. The most welcome one is the ability to use voice to spell out passwords on some on-screen keyboards. The new RokuOS 10.5 brings several updates, mostly to voice functions.
