Abstract: The Roku Premiere and Premiere+ are nearly identical 4K streaming devices. The one major difference is that the Premiere+ comes with a microphone-equipped wireless remote control (and it's also only sold at Walmart). At $39.99 and $49.99 respectively, the...
Excellent 4K HDR performance, Offers every major streaming app, Decent navigation

The Premiere is cheaper than most other 4K streamers and offers more 4K apps. Unlike the Chromecast Ultra, it actually includes a remote (and an Amazon Video app). Roku's ecosystem offers more apps, better search and more customization than any other

Lots of apps for little money, Good enough sound,
Woeful HDR performance, Odd physical design, Only supports HDR10,
Anyone who thinks all streamers are born equal should take a look at the Roku Premiere. This is a small, affordable device that promises much on paper, but falls a long way short of the performance of the best in class.In fact, it falls a long way short o...
