This is a good news/bad news type of situation. You can use a TV's USB port to charge up a phone, tablet or a similar gadget in a pinch, but it will likely take a long time. That's because most modern smart TVs ship with USB 2.0 ports, which offer a modest 5V at 500mA. This would take around seven hours to charge up a newer phone. A laptop could take around 20 hours to top off. That's simply not practical.
