As streaming devices go,RokuandFire TV Stickboth seem similar from the outside.
But thats kind of where the similarities end.
Voice control: Both devices feature remotes with voice control built in.
Roku has a simple app-based navigation system that you’ve got the option to customize however you like.
Getting to Netflix or Prime Video can happen in just a couple of clicks.
Fire TV Sticks Home Screen, by comparison, is a mess.
In day-to-day use, this becomes quite annoying.
Overall, Rokus experience is faster, seamless, and far less annoying.
That said, Rokus search feature overall is faster.
But when it comes to voice assistance and integration, the Fire TV Stick is superior.
This is also a neat way to sidestep the entire issue of Fire TV Stick’s home screen interface.
Roku doesnt have this feature.
Its small, fast to use, and fast to boot up.
Plus, it supports 4K, HDR10/10+, and Dolby Vision content.
It cant do 4K, but it will run Full HD content just fine.
Just dont expect a super-fast experience like with the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, or Roku Express.
