Roku Stick 3600 vs Roku Stick 3500
Now here is our quick over view of the new Roku stick 3600:
The Device
The new Roku Stick is noticeably smaller than the Fire TV and older Roku sticks. However, it was the fastest stick we have ever tested—by far. The black matted look matches many TVs, making it blend into whatever TV you attach it to.
The remote has quick buttons for Sling TV, Netflix, Amazon Video, and Google Play—unless you buy it from Walmart, then the remote has a Vudu quick button instead of the Google Play button.
