That’s a nice upgrade for sports and watching video game streams on Twitch. Video frame rates of up to 60fps are supported now, compared to the 30fps ceiling on the prior hardware. Both HDR10 and HDR10+ are supported by the Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite, but Dolby Vision is not. In my tests, Prime Video and Disney Plus did a good job getting the most out of the Fire TV Stick’s video and audio specs and regularly delivered both HDR and Atmos, but you’ll find that not all services will serve those with a 1080p stream. Voice searches with the Alexa remote were similarly quick, whether I was searching for a certain show or asking about the weather.Įxpect mixed results when it comes to HDR and Dolby Atmos support. It feels on par with the more premium 4K-capable Fire TV products in terms of speed. Amazon’s older Fire TV Stick could sometimes get hung up or slow down when scrolling around or opening apps, but I rarely encountered anything of the sort with this new model. The Fire TV Stick’s remote has buttons for controlling your TV power and volume. The Fire TV Stick Lite’s remote doesn’t include those. This is the same full-fledged remote that comes with Amazon’s pricier streaming devices, so in addition to playback and navigation controls, you get some extra buttons (power and volume) for controlling your TV with it. You attach a Micro USB cable to it for power, toss some batteries in the Alexa voice remote, and you’re off and running. It’s still a matte black stick that plugs into one of your TV’s HDMI ports. Amazon says the new Fire TV Stick is 50 percent faster than the previous version - but it looks identical on the outside. If that’s your situation, you’re definitely getting a more powerful streamer than before. Buy for $39.99 from Amazon Buy for $39.99 from Best Buy
