The Roku Express is getting a new smaller form but will still offer the same performance as the current Roku Express. Roku also says the new Roku Express uses less power, meaning you will be able to power it through the USB port on your TV to reduce cable clutter.

This also means the new Roku Express will be more friendly on your budget as it will help lower your power bills.
