Amazon is planning to rename the Fire TV Stick 4K to better distinguish it from newer models, with a new name expected soon, as the company expands its lineup of 4K streaming devices.
Amazon has opened pre-orders for the new Fire TV Stick 4K Select, a compact streaming device supporting 4K Ultra HD and HDR10+ with Wi-Fi 5, priced at $39.99, with an optional bundle including the Alexa Voice Remote Pro for $64.99. It offers access to over 1.8 million titles, easy setup, and voice control via Alexa, making it an affordable, feature-rich option for transforming any TV into a smart entertainment hub.
The Fire TV Stick 4K is currently on sale for $24.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, its lowest price of the year, ahead of Prime Day. It offers 4K streaming, HDR support, Alexa integration, and gaming capabilities, making it a versatile device for upgrading older TVs or enhancing current ones.
The second-generation Fire TV Stick 4K, currently on sale for $25 on Amazon, offers faster app starts and Wi-Fi 6 support. It comes with a voice remote, HDMI extender, and customizable app shortcuts. The interface is user-friendly, with a carousel and content drawers. The device streams shows and movies seamlessly, including HDR 10 and Dolby Vision titles. However, the voice search feature can be unreliable, and there are multiple rows promoting Amazon's own streaming services. Overall, the Fire TV Stick 4K is a solid choice for Amazon fans, but may not be enough to sway loyal Roku users.
Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner, but there are already some great deals on Amazon devices available. Some of the top deals include 55% off the Fire TV Stick 4K Max Streaming Device, 54% off the Echo Dot 2022 (5th Generation), 48% off the Amazon Smart Plug, 43% off the Luna Wireless Controller, and $140 off the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series 4K UHD Smart TV. Other deals include discounts on the All-New Ring Indoor Cam, Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, Eero Mesh Wi-Fi System, Amazon Fire TV Omni Series 4K UHD Smart TV, and the Echo Pop.
