Streaming giants Amazon announced an improved Fire TV Stick 4K and feature-packed Fire TV Stick 4K Max late last year. Both flagship devices offer 4K streaming with the Max even including a unique experience which turns the big black screen on your TV into an ever-changing work of art – thanks to its unique Ambient Experience feature.
However, for those who don’t want to spend a fortune on a streaming device there’s good news as – without any fanfare – Amazon just tweaked its much cheaper models. The company is still selling its Fire TV Stick Lite (despite reports this will be discontinued soon) and has now added a Fire TV Stick HD. This appears to replace the ageing 2021 model that was simply named Fire TV Stick.
According to the Mirror, the latest HD version comes with an improved remote and an updated design that comes along with features you’d expect, such as easy access to the most popular premium and free streaming apps like Prime Video, Disney+, Freevee, BBC iPlayer and much more.
As the name suggests, it’s fully compatible with HD content and is powered by Amazon’s popular FireOS software which offers recommendations of things to watch. Explaining more about its release, Amazon simply said; “Fire TV Stick HD. Fast, full HD streaming with convenient TV controls.”
It’s a nice little update and there’s more good news as it’s priced at £39.99 which is £5 cheaper than the older Fire TV Stick which included many of the same features. It’s unclear why Amazon hasn’t made more of a song or dance about this new device but it’s on sale now.
The new Fire TV Stick HD is available alongside the existing Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and the Fire TV Cube.
