Amazon has unveiled an updated pricing for its latest Fire TV Stick HD, presenting an opportune moment to explore something new. The revamped device boasts enhancements such as a sleeker design, compatibility with Wi-Fi 6 for seamless streaming, and improved performance speed.
The new Fire TV Stick HD, as per Amazon, touts more than a 30% speed boost compared to prior HD models, leading to faster boot-up times and enhanced app functionality.
A notable feature is its ability to draw power directly from the TV’s USB port, eliminating the necessity for a separate power adapter and aiding in cable concealment behind the screen.
Additionally, the device debuts Amazon’s latest Fire OS software, Vega, promising a refined interface, intelligent content suggestions, and a smoother browsing experience.
In a statement, Amazon remarked, “The new Fire TV Stick HD is our slimmest streaming device yet – more compact in both volume and width than previous models – and engineered for Direct Power via the TV’s USB port, allowing it to fit discreetly behind a TV without requiring an external power adapter.”
Initially priced at £39.99, the new Fire TV Stick HD is currently on offer at £25.99 on Amazon, reflecting a 35% discount.
Although the discount is enticing, thrifty shoppers can find slightly lower prices elsewhere. Argos and Currys have slashed the price of the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD to £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and reducing the original launch price by £15.
The older HD model still grants access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with Full HD playback, Alexa voice commands, quick app launch shortcut buttons, and smart home controls for compatible devices such as lights.
