Choosing a Fire TV device shouldn’t feel like picking a wand at Ollivanders, but here we are. Some stream, some shout commands, and some even double as TVs. If you’re baffled by all the buttons and specs, these ten gadgets might just light the way.
Fire TV Stick Lite
The Fire TV Stick Lite is Amazon’s most affordable streamer under $30. It supports Full HD (1080p) and includes the Alexa Voice Remote Lite, which does not have TV power or volume buttons. Weighing under 1.5 ounces, it’s compact and easy to use. Additionally, it’s frequently bundled with a 30-day Prime Video trial for new customers.
Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen)
Looking for an upgrade from the Lite version? The Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen) features extra buttons on the remote for volume and power, making controls more intuitive. Streaming happens in Full HD with added Dolby Atmos for richer sound. Compatible with most HDMI TVs, the device usually drops below $25 during Prime Day sales.
Fire TV Stick 4K
Just imagine turning your older TV with an HDMI port into a streaming powerhouse. This Fire TV Stick 4K delivers stunning Ultra HD with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ and upgrades your screen to look surprisingly modern. A faster processor further ensures everything runs smoothly, while the Alexa Voice Remote provides easy control at your fingertips.
Fire TV Stick 4K Max
For those who stream frequently, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is designed to handle the load. With 40% more power, it launches apps faster and maintains sharp performance. Wi-Fi 6 also improves speed and stability. Ring camera support through picture-in-picture even makes multitasking during shows or sports a breeze.
Fire TV Cube
Need full control in one device? Fire TV Cube combines fast streaming with Alexa voice access—no remote required. It features an octa-core processor and 2GB of RAM for top performance.
