Amazon has released an updated version of its Fire TV Stick HD with a discounted price, making it an appealing option for those looking to upgrade. The new device boasts a sleeker design and enhanced performance features such as support for Wi-Fi 6, resulting in smoother streaming and faster operation.
The latest Fire TV Stick HD is reported to be over 30% faster than its predecessors, offering improved app performance and quicker start-up times. Notably, it can be powered directly through the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and ensuring a tidy cable setup behind the screen.
Additionally, the device introduces Amazon’s newest Fire OS software, Vega, which promises a more user-friendly interface, smarter content suggestions, and a more efficient browsing experience. Amazon highlighted the device’s compact design, emphasizing its compatibility with Direct Power through the TV’s USB port for a streamlined setup without the need for an external power source.
Originally priced at £39.99, the new Fire TV Stick HD is now available at a discounted rate of £25.99 on Amazon, offering a 35% price reduction. While this discount is enticing, shoppers seeking a better deal can find the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD priced at £24.99 at both Argos and Currys, undercutting Amazon by £1 and marking a £15 discount from the launch price.
The previous generation 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 shortcuts, and smart home integration for compatible devices like lighting systems. Argos and Currys are currently offering the Fire TV Stick HD at £24.99 each, providing competitive pricing options for consumers.
