Roku Streaming Stick Plus (2025)

The Roku Streaming Stick Plus (2025) is Roku's redesigned 4K streaming stick, approximately 35% slimmer than competing sticks and capable of drawing power from a TV built-in USB port with no separate wall adapter required. It runs Roku OS, which consistently ranks among the most approachable smart TV interfaces for first-time streaming device users, offering a flat grid of apps with no algorithmic home screen complexity. The device supports 4K HDR at 60fps with HDR10 and HDR10+ color formats, along with Dolby Atmos audio passthrough. Dolby Vision is not supported. The included Voice Remote enables hands-free voice search across Alexa and Google Assistant, and AirPlay 2 lets iPhone and iPad users stream or mirror content wirelessly without an app. Roku Channel Store provides access to thousands of channels including all major streaming services. The Streaming Stick Plus is well suited for users upgrading a secondary TV to 4K or anyone buying their first streaming device. At $39.99, the combination of a familiar Roku OS, broad voice assistant compatibility, and AirPlay 2 delivers more per dollar than most sticks in the sub-$40 range.
