Do you have a smart TV? No, you don’t. You might think you have a smart TV. Your TV might even be able to browse the web and run some apps… but with only a small handful of exceptions, "smart" TVs are still pretty dumb. That’s why devices like the ones Roku makes are still so incredibly popular. They’re easy to use and affordable, and they work with all of your favorite movie and TV show streaming services. If you haven’t yet bought yourself a Roku, or if you’re looking to upgrade to a newer model, this is the perfect opportunity.

We’re about to see a variety of Android device makers introduce their best new smartphones models at MWC 2017, but many of these devices will have a huge disadvantage when it comes to competing against the best of the best. According to current rumors, some of the top Android devices that are about to be unveiled will not be powered by flagship 2017 mobile processors.
