Amazon Fire TV Stick
Updated in 2020, the new Amazon Fire TV Stick also streams in HD. One of the biggest differences between the Fire TV Stick and the cheaper Lite is that the original smart TV stick now has power and volume buttons on the Alexa Voice remote. Not a major upgrade but it does save you from swapping between remotes. Read our Amazon Fire TV Stick (2020) review to find out how it compares to its predecessor.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
The cheapest way to get 4K streaming on a Fire TV device. It also supports Dolby Vision, HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos and has the superior Alexa Voice remote with the extra TV controls. Fantastic for those who want to get the most out of a 4K TV.
Amazon Fire TV Cube
Read our Amazon Fire TV Cube review to find out why we think this device is brilliant for anyone who’s been looking to purchase Amazon’s own devices for a while because it combines two-in-one.
