The US streaming specialist is reportedly launching the '4K Roku Streaming Stick+', which could be on shelves later this year.

According to Zatz Not Funny, Roku is launching the 4K Roku Streaming Stick+ (apparently the official, albeit not-so-catchy, name) later this year, as well as a newly designed remote that offers more TV control functions.

Taking stick form, the new streamer will rival 4K dongles such as Google Chromecast Ultra and the (alleged) upcoming Amazon Fire, as well as 4K HDR boxes like the Apple 4K TV.
