There's a new Amazon Fire TV Stick that's faster to use, and a redesigned remote
Amazon unveils a new, faster Fire TV Stick 4K plus a new remote design and updates for Alexa+.
Amazon has introduced a new Fire TV Stick 4K, priced at $59.99, which promises to be significantly faster than its competitors. The primary upgrade is in speed, with the new device claiming to get users watching up to 40% faster than rival 4K streaming sticks. The video comparing the new Fire TV Stick 4K to the top three smart TVs and a similarly priced 4K stick from another leading brand supports this claim, demonstrating up to 20% to 40% quicker performance.
Included with the new Fire TV Stick 4K is a redesigned remote, with plans to release a more advanced version featuring Find My Remote in 2027. Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K also benefits from the Alexa+ upgrade, which brings more intelligent movie and show recommendations, and the Fire TV app now leverages Alexa+ for watchlist management and show discovery.
