Roku Streaming Stick Plus (2025) review: what the specs say
4K HDR Roku that runs off the TV's USB port — the travel pick. At $59.99, Roku's 2025 model sits in the middle of the range — the streaming Devices we compare run from $34.99 to $249. It scores 6.1/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Platform & Apps at 8.5/10 — operating system, app catalogue, and how advertising-led the interface is. The weakest is Smart Home at 5.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: no Dolby Vision — HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG only; and no Dolby Atmos. Every specification on this page comes from Roku's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
