Roku is launching 4K streaming players that will cost less than similar products by Amazon and Google. The Premiere and Premiere+ cost $49.99 and $39.99 respectively, the latter’s larger price due to Walmart-exclusivity and providing a remote control with voice search capabilities. Amazon’s Fire TV and Google's Chromecast Ultra both come in at around $70. Roku’s offerings do not have Dolby Vision for HDR (using HDR10 instead) but both contain a quad-core processor for responsive performance and support 802.11n Wi-Fi. The players are open for pre-order and will be available this month.
