Ranked #1 in Best Streaming Devices

Roku Ultra (2024)

4.2

2 sources

The 2024 Roku Ultra adds Wi-Fi 6 and a backlit, USB-C rechargeable Roku Voice Remote Pro (2nd Ed), and CNET noted that it caches the most-used apps to cut loading times. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos, and Soundandvision praised its excellent video quality and Dolby Atmos sound separation. However, the new remote has no headphone jack, and CNET found no apparent IR output on it, although Roku told the outlet the remote is IR compatible. Soundandvision also noted that search results favor Roku Channel offerings, which may frustrate users looking for a title on another service.

Strengths

— Includes Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, which CNET had criticized the previous Ultra for lacking.
— Features a backlit Roku Voice Remote Pro (2nd Ed) with USB-C charging and hands-free voice activation.
— Supports advanced cinematic formats including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos audio playback.

Watch-outs

— The new remote lacks a dedicated headphone jack for private listening.
— Search results in the interface tend to favor Roku Channel offerings over other services.

The 2026 Onn 4K Pro is Walmart's second-generation Google TV box, with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos. Blog.lon.tv identified its processor as an Amlogic S905X5M and reported benchmarks roughly three times faster than the previous Onn model. Cordcuttersnews highlighted the built-in smart speaker with far-field microphones for hands-free control. However, Blog.lon.tv found the Ethernet jack limited to 100 Mbps and noted the software is a 32-bit version of Android 14, which blocks some apps, while 9to5google called the move from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 a downgrade. Jamisonjohnson.me reported that inconsistent stock at Walmart is the main frustration.

Strengths

— Built-in far-field microphones allow hands-free voice control, and the box can act as a smart speaker when the TV is off
— Amlogic S905X5M processor benchmarked by Blog.lon.tv at roughly three times the speed of the previous Onn model
— 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM, with Wi-Fi 6, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos support

Watch-outs

— The Ethernet port is limited to 100 Mbps rather than gigabit speeds
— Runs a 32-bit version of Android 14, which prevents some applications such as high-end emulators from running
— The rear USB-A port was downgraded from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0
