Wonky Wi-Fi won’t be a problem for Roku’s Streaming Stick+

Buffering 4K and HDR video won't be the bane of your life with one of these

It’s 4K streaming season, apparently: hot on the heels of the Apple TV 4K and Amazon’s updated Fire TV stick, Roku has just unveiled a dongle of its own. The Streaming Stick+ can handle UHD resolutions and HDR video at 60fps, and you shouldn’t have to worry about poor Wi-Fi reducing your movie nights to a mess of buffering, either: it’s got a wireless receiver built into the power cord, that gives range a massive 4x boost over the outgoing model. You get the same great voice remote, though, which makes for quick selections and searches. A UK release has now been confirmed for 18 October, and it’ll set you back £79.99.

Where to buy
