Amazon has unveiled the latest version of its Fire TV Stick HD at a discounted price, making it an opportune moment to consider upgrading your streaming device. The revamped model boasts a sleeker design and enhanced features such as Wi-Fi 6 support for improved streaming quality and faster performance.
The new Fire TV Stick HD is reported to be more than 30% faster than its predecessors, offering quicker start-up times and optimized app functionality. Notably, this device can draw power directly from your TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and facilitating a clutter-free setup behind your television.
Introducing Amazon’s latest Fire OS software named Vega, this streaming device promises a more user-friendly interface with intelligent content suggestions and a smoother browsing experience. Amazon described the new Fire TV Stick HD as their slimmest model yet, compact enough to fit discreetly behind a TV without requiring an additional power source.
Initially priced at £39.99 upon release, the updated Fire TV Stick HD is now available on Amazon for £25.99, marking a 35% discount. While this discount is enticing, consumers seeking even greater savings can find the device at a slightly lower price from retailers like Argos and Currys, both offering the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD for £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and reducing the launch price by £15.
The older HD model remains a competitive choice, providing access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+. It also supports Full HD playback, Alexa voice commands, quick app launch shortcuts, and smart home device controls for compatible accessories such as smart lights.
