With Vodacom’s offering of fibre, LTE and 5G, it’s never been this easy to stream high-quality content. To do that, check out these streaming devices that support 4K UHD for a home cinema-like experience.  
Note that you require separate access to paid streaming services to watch TV series and movies on these devices. 

Mi TV Stick 4K 

Xiaomi is a firm favourite for smart home gadgets thanks to its easy-on-the-pocket price point. The Mi TV Stick 4K is an Android-TV-based dongle that runs on Android 11 with access to more than 7 000 Google Play apps. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos make for a home cinematic experience. The remote has Google Assistant built in and one-touch access to Netflix and Prime Video. It’s portable and you can take it anywhere with you. 

Amazon Fire Tv Stick 4K Max 

This streaming dongle supports HDR. It has an Alexa remote for web searches powered by Wi-Fi 6 and a quad-core processor with 8GB of storage. Amazon claims the Fire Stick 4K Max is 40% faster than its Fire TV Stick 4K model. It has integrated HDMI to connect directly to a TV as well as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. The remote features one-touch access to Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ or Hulu. 

Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ 

Roku’s latest streaming stick now includes Dolby Vision support, which is ideal if your TV supports it. It has a built-in HDMI connector for plug and play as well as 4K HDR and Apple AirPlay support. The remote has one-touch buttons for Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV and Hulu, plus an instant replay button and a voice button for search or control. It works with Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa. The main difference between this model and the Express is the Ethernet support. 

Google Chromecast 4K  

Google’s Chromecast 4K has Google TV support and Android apps. Stream from smartphones, tablets, Mac, Windows, and Chromebooks. The remote has dedicated buttons for YouTube, Netflix, and Google Assistant. It features HDR10+ support, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. When paired with other Google Home devices, you can control it with voice via the Google Assistant button on the remote. 

Apple TV 4K 

If you’re tied to the Apple ecosystem, the Apple TV 4K box is your best option. It comes in either 64GB or 128GB variants but if you’re using it to stream, you won’t need large storage. It also supports 4K Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for immersive sound. Since it runs Apple’s A15 Bionic chip, it’s also excellent for playing games, but you’ll be spoilt for choice when selecting apps on the App Store. It also ties in with Apple Music, Photos, and your linked smart devices. Another nifty feature is the ability to pair two sets of AirPods to it.
