It adds a remote—a much needed companion—plus built-in Google TV formerly Android TV , so you don't ever have to touch your phone to watch TV if you don't want to. Google TV got an upgrade too, and its interface is nicer than Roku's. You can browse and search across platforms, so you can find where a specific title is streaming, or look for something broader like comedies.
It makes finding something to watch a faster and easier process. Plus you can search with your voice via Google Assistant, which can also control your smart home devices or answer questions. But it has little storage, so you run the risk of running out of room. You may have to regularly clear the cache yourself , which is annoying. The Alexa-enabled remote works well, too. Apps for competitors like Netflix and Hulu are included but relegated to a single row of the interface.
Apple TVs are expensive, but they're worth the extra cash if you own an iPhone and buy movies and shows from Apple's library or subscribe to Apple TV Plus. We didn't like the previous version's remote control, so we're happy to see it updated here. It's much better all around, with physical buttons replacing the old touchpad and mute and power buttons added.
The biggest downside is the price. For this much, it should come with an HDMI cable. Apps like HBO are beginning to drop support for older models. Spring for the 4K version, or just buy a Roku. By now, you may have realized that we're big Roku fans. The platform may not have the prettiest onscreen menus, but it's dead simple and gives you access to almost all of the content you could possibly stream. Feature-wise, the Roku Ultra is almost identical to the Roku stick, but it boasts some extra memory and a faster processor that makes it better at streaming live TV.
One key feature is the headphone jack in the controller.
