If you’ve used the previous Amazon Fire TV Stick before, you’ll notice that the new version hasn’t changed very much in terms of design. Similar products, including Google's Chromecast Ultra, retail for around $69, so the Fire TV Stick 4K is a good option if you’re looking to spend under $50 - still, it’s worth bearing in mind that you will need to buy subscriptions to use many of the apps like Netflix and Prime Video, which can soon add up. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is available to buy for $49.99 / £49.99, which works out at around AU$68 based on current conversion rates – however, it's not yet available to buy in Australia and there's so far no word on when Amazon will begin selling it in this territory.Ĭompared to the non-4K version of the Fire TV Stick, you’re looking at a price increase of around $10 / £10, which we think is very reasonable considering the increased quality of content you’ll be getting with support for 4K, Dolby Vision, HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos. What's more, you can now even hook up your Amazon Echo speakers with Fire TV devices, to create an immersive home theater system – totally wireless, and all controllable with voice assistant Alexa. We've also seen an update to the basic HD Fire TV Stick (2020) with HDR, and a the highly affordable Fire TV Stick Lite. Since the Fire TV Stick 4K was released, Amazon has pushed further into TVs after it unveiled a number of new Fire TV Edition sets, as well as a second-generation Amazon Fire TV Cube, which is an updated version of its Alexa-enabled hands-free streaming media player, adding Dolby Vision and a few other new features to the mix.
