What’s more, the device costs only $50, which is very competitive compared to the price of the Roku 4 which retails for $130.
Roku may not have seen it coming but its new Streaming Stick has and continues to eat up on the market of the Roku 4. Only a handful of technical-savvy people could actually notice the difference because the Roku Streaming Stick outputs in HD while the Roku 4 is capable of streaming 4K videos, which is a whole lot brighter and crisper.
In addition to the new Roku Streaming Stick, the company has also offered a software update for various devices which it calls as the Roku OS 7.1. The new software makes the process of looking for things to watch a lot easier since Roku becomes compatible with several channels.
While Roku 4 is still superior in a lot of ways compared to the Roku Streaming Stick, the latter also has one big advantage in the use of the mobile app. Doing so would help users enjoy private listening option which the Roku 4 does not have.
The Roku Streaming Stick is also very handy especially if its size is considered and as far as price is concerned, it is considered a great buy and investment.
