Roku Drops Sleek New Streaming Sticks, Battery Cameras, and More

Byte-Sized Brief

  • Two new Roku Streaming Sticks deliver up to 4K video.
  • Roku also added battery-powered smart home cameras.
  • Updates include sports highlights, previews, and more.

Roku just dropped its biggest refresh yet, rolling out new hardware and software features across the board. The headline items are two compact streaming sticks—over 35 percent smaller than rivals—the Roku Streaming Stick and Streaming Stick Plus (this one supports 4K), with upgraded performance baked in. Both are power-efficient enough to run off your TV’s USB port. Roku TVs are also getting some improvements to make everything feel faster and smoother.

Outside the living room, Roku is stepping up its smart home game with battery-powered cameras that work both inside and outside. On the software side, Roku OS also gets a few new tricks, like personalized sports highlights and a “Coming Soon to Theaters” feature to help you find content before it hits streaming. Plus, Roku’s expanding its reach into projectors and more countries worldwide.
