Amazon announced Fire TV Stick 4K and an all-new Fire TV Remote—the latest in a new generation of Fire TV hardware that started with Fire TV Stick HD earlier this year. Together, they deliver faster performance, a simplified product lineup, and a new, more intuitive remote design.
These launches follow a big year for Fire TV—including the launch of a new Fire TV experience; Amazon’s first-ever lifestyle TV, the Amazon Ember Artline; the launch of Alexa+ on Fire TV now in 11 countries, and making Alexa+ available on Fire TV at no additional cost.
Fire TV Stick 4K is Amazon’s latest 4K streaming device, delivering crisp 4K resolution and a fast experience. From powering on to streaming, the new 4K stick gets customers to content from nearly 20–40% faster than a similarly priced 4K stick from another leading brand—the Fire TV Stick 4K turns on faster, apps launch over 35% faster, and content starts playing nearly 20% faster.
Amazon also tested the speed of Fire TV Stick 4K against the built-in experience of three 4K smart TVs from top-selling brands, measuring the average across the three most popular apps on Fire TV. Fire TV Stick 4K played content faster than all three of the TVs we tested.
Since releasing the first Fire TV product built on Vega OS last year, Amazon has added over 2,000 more apps, including Spotify, XBOX, VLC, and a range of VPNs. That’s in addition to popular apps customers love to use, like Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Prime Video, HBO Max, Peacock, Tubi, Pluto, Instagram, and more.
The Fire TV Stick 4K comes with 8 GB internal storage, a quad-core 1.7 GHz processor, and support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and Bluetooth Low Energy. It supports HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, H.265, H.264, VP9, and AV1 video content formats and features 2160p, 1080p, and 720p output resolution up to 60 frames per second.
