Roku reportedly has a 4K streaming stick on tap for this fall

Roku’s getting ready for a new round of hardware updates this fall (we’ve previously reported on their interest in a smart speaker ), and we have some news on what may be coming. According to Zats Not Funny , Roku will unveil a 4K HDR streaming stick with a newly designed universal remote. Currently, only Roku boxes (Premiere, Premiere+ and Ultra ) support 4K. The new stick (called the 4K HDR Roku Streaming Stick+) will be a mid-range device and be elongated, rather than in a dongle form. The universal remote it’s paired with will allow you to control your TV, incorporating both power buttons and a volume rocker. Zats Not Funny speculates that the remote will use HDMI-CEC, rather than traditional IR. It will be included with a few other 2017 Roku models as well. Source: Zats Not Funny

The new fleet is said to be the starting point of a new sub-brand for Mercedes , although the German automaker still hasn’t decided what that will be called. Last month, Mercedes’ David McCarthy revealed that a concept electric would be shown sometime in September . In other words, it won’t be long before we see what Mercedes has up its sleeve. Update: Daimler AG, Mercedes-Benz’s parent company provided the following statement to Engadget: We can confirm that we are working on a large EV with a range between 400 and 500km (250-310 miles) based on a completely new architecture.
