Roku Ultra
Score: 86/100
Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Roku Ultra 2024 is Roku's fastest streaming player offering 4K UHD at 60 fps with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos. It lacks Apple AirPlay 2/HomeKit and may suffer Wi-Fi range issues while using a less convenient barrel power connector. Ideal for cord-cutters seeking premium performance and a feature-rich remote.
The Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen is a compact 4K streaming dongle with Wi-Fi 6, HDMI 2.1 and full Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos support, offering generous 32 GB storage. Its limited RAM, lack of Ethernet and a single USB 2.0 port are notable constraints. Ideal for casual streamers who value compact design and wireless performance.
