Streaming specialist Roku has announced a new range of Roku streaming players available in the UK from June. Delivering boosted performance, innovative hardware, access to the latest programming and a lightning-fast interface, the new Roku Streaming Stick and Roku Streaming Stick Plus deliver a seamless streaming experience on any TV.

The new streaming players are compact without compromise, answering to consumer demand for sticks that fit neatly behind their TVs with an award-winning interface and powerful features, the company says. The updated devices will replace the Roku Express and Roku Express 4K with more features at the same affordable price points. Offering instant access to all the most popular streaming channels and personalized recommendations. As well as customer-favourite features like Continue Watching which gives users a single location to jump back into the content they are watching.

The Roku Streaming Stick is the perfect entry-level option for an intuitive, satisfying experience on any smart HD TV. At just £29.99, this streaming player comes with improved Wi-Fi connectivity. For the first time at this price point, the introduction of the voice-enabled remote control enables users to change the volume, power on their TV, or search for entertainment just by using their voice. For users who want everything the Roku Streaming Stick has to offer and more, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus delivers brilliant 4K picture quality and vivid HDR colour at only £39.99.

Improving on the form factor of the previous iterations, the new devices can be powered directly by the TV, eliminating the need for hanging cables, delivering a cleaner, more streamlined setup. Plus, the sleek design won’t block neighboring HDMI ports, so users can switch from streaming to gaming with ease.

“We are proud to unveil a new chapter in the Roku streaming journey with an updated look, feel, and performance for our streaming players,” said Richard Halton, Country Manager at Roku UK.  “With over 15 years of innovation, our commitment has always been to make consumers’ lives easier by simplifying the TV viewing experience. Our two new powerful streaming players are packed with great features and will be available from June – ideal for keeping entertained during the summer holidays.”
