A streaming stick enables you to stream entertainment content on your TVs, such as movies, TV shows, music, or images. Moreover, it uses an HDMI port on the back of your TV to stream videos. Furthermore, a streaming device is a great way to enhance your content viewing options by providing more apps and alternatives.

In addition, it has a solid plastic bar that runs between the head and tail of the streaming stick, and this is the long-range Wi-Fi antenna. It comes with a voice remote with two AAA batteries. Furthermore, searching with voice is one of its best applications, and Roku's search results for an actor, film, or TV show are fantastic. Roku's "Zones," which can pull content from a variety of other services under themes as broad as "Western," for instance, "Games of Thrones," is appealing.

The dongle now has a matte finish rather than the shiny plastic of the Streaming Stick Plus, and the bundled power/Wi-Fi cable has been lengthened and made more blocky.

Although Roku does not provide an HDMI extender in the box, unlike Fire TV, it does offer a free HDMI extender on its website.

Also, Roku Streaming Stick 4K comes with a power adapter, which makes it easy to charge anywhere and anyhow.
