Amazon has released an updated version of its Fire TV Stick HD with a discounted price tag, making it an attractive option for users looking to upgrade. The new device features a sleeker design and supports Wi-Fi 6 for enhanced streaming and faster performance.
The latest Fire TV Stick HD boasts over 30% faster speed compared to previous models, offering quicker start-up times and improved app performance. Notably, it can be powered directly through the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and helping maintain a tidy cable setup behind the screen.
Additionally, the device introduces Amazon’s latest Fire OS software, Vega, which promises a more organized layout, intelligent content suggestions, and a smoother browsing experience. Amazon describes the new Fire TV Stick HD as its slimmest streaming device yet, designed for direct power through the TV’s USB port.
Originally priced at £39.99, the updated Fire TV Stick HD is now available for £25.99 on Amazon, representing a 35% discount. While this offer is appealing, shoppers seeking even lower prices can find the device at Argos and Currys for £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and offering a £15 reduction from the launch price.
The older model of the Fire TV Stick HD still provides access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with features such as Full HD playback, Alexa voice controls, quick app launch buttons, and smart home controls for compatible devices like lights.
