Amazon has released an updated version of its Fire TV Stick HD, offering a sleeker design and improved features. The new device supports Wi-Fi 6 for enhanced streaming performance and faster speeds. Amazon claims that this latest Fire TV Stick HD is over 30% faster than previous models, resulting in quicker start-up times and better app performance.
One of the standout features of the new Fire TV Stick HD is its ability to be powered directly through the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and helping to maintain a tidy cable setup behind the TV. The device also comes with Amazon’s latest Fire OS software, Vega, promising a more organized layout, intelligent content suggestions, and a smoother browsing experience.
Amazon stated, “The new Fire TV Stick HD is our most compact streaming device yet, designed for direct power through the TV’s USB port, making it easy to fit discreetly behind a TV without requiring an extra power adapter.” Originally priced at £39.99, the new Fire TV Stick HD is now available for £25.99 on Amazon, a 35% discount.
While the Amazon deal is enticing, consumers seeking the best price can find the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD at both Argos and Currys for £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and offering a £15 discount off the original launch price. The previous HD model still provides access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with Full HD playback, Alexa voice controls, shortcut buttons for quick app access, and smart home control for compatible devices.
Argos is selling the Fire TV Stick HD for £24.99, and Currys also offers the same price for the device. Choose Daily Mirror as a ‘Preferred Source’ on Google News for convenient access to the news you care about.
