Roku's new streamers may have HDR and get names instead of numbers, report says
The streaming company could be done with numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 as it may be prepping five new devices.
The Roku 4 is the company's current high-end streaming box.
Hoping for a Roku 5 to succeed the Roku 4? You may be disappointed by this report.
According to ZatzNotFunny.com's correlation of an FCC leak against a Canadian computer sales website published Saturday, the streaming company could be debuting up to five streaming devices this fall that would add HDR picture capabilities and give each of the streamers a name instead of a number.
The entry-level Roku 1 would be instead replaced by the Roku Express and Roku Express Plus, both the Roku 2 and Roku 3 would be replaced by the Roku Premiere and Roku Premiere Plus and the 4K-capable Roku 4 would be replaced by a Roku Ultra device.
And for those with HDR television sets, the report alleges that the Roku Premiere Plus and Roku Ultra would both have support for the picture format.
Roku declined to comment on the report.
