Fall is the season when most of the companies decide to launch their latest hardware products, electronic gadgets, etc. A few days ago, Amazon held an event to launch it’s next-generation Fire TV Stick, some new Echo gadgets, Fire TV Stick Lite, and more. Amazon is the biggest competitor in the streaming devices category, and it has revealed a few new streaming devices of its own. On the other hand, Roku – known for its affordable digital media players offering access to streaming media content from various online services – is also going to launch some new streaming devices. Currently, Roku is updating its Roku Ultra, and soon you will get to experience some new features on it. Surprisingly, Roku is adding a Streambar to its lineup as well. This Streambar includes Roku’s streaming services inside a compact soundbar. You can pre-order both the devices from Roku’s website.

The 2019 model gets upgraded with better processing speed that will enable the apps to launch quicker and navigate easily.

The Roku OS software update brings a lot of new features, but the best one is Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support.
