Amazon has launched an updated version of its Fire TV Stick HD with a reduced price, making it an ideal opportunity for users to upgrade and experience new features. The revamped device boasts a sleeker design and supports Wi-Fi 6 for enhanced streaming quality and faster performance.
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. Noteworthy among its features is the ability to draw power directly from the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and aiding in cable management behind the TV.
Additionally, the device comes with Amazon’s latest Fire OS software, Vega, promising a more organized interface, intelligent content suggestions, and a smoother browsing experience. Amazon described the new Fire TV Stick HD as their most compact streaming device yet, designed to be powered through the TV’s USB port for a more streamlined setup without requiring an extra power adapter.
Initially priced at £39.99, the updated Fire TV Stick HD is now available on Amazon for £25.99, offering a 35% discount. While this discount is enticing, bargain hunters can find a slightly lower price at both Argos and Currys, where the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD is sold for £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and reducing the launch price by £15.
The older HD model still provides access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with Full HD playback, Alexa voice controls, one-touch app launching buttons, and smart home device management for compatible devices such as lights. Users can find the Argos and Currys deals for the Fire TV Stick HD at the respective retailer websites for further savings.
