Amazon has unveiled its latest addition to its streaming device lineup, the Fire TV Stick HD, offering enhanced features not found in previous models. Priced at £39.99, this new entry-level gadget boasts a slimmer and more stylish design, being 30% narrower than its predecessor.
One notable improvement is its increased portability, making it easier to fit behind TVs and convenient for users on the go. The device now draws power directly from the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter, as highlighted by Amazon.
The Fire TV Stick HD provides access to popular streaming services like Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video, iPlayer, ITVX, and Netflix, along with a user-friendly remote featuring Alexa voice search and quick app launch buttons. While it offers full HD viewing instead of 4K, it is suitable for most households.
Amazon touts that the new Fire TV Stick HD delivers faster performance, being over 30% speedier than previous HD models. It boots up quicker and launches apps more promptly. Additionally, it comes with the latest Fire operating system, offering a cleaner interface, improved recommendations, and simplified content discovery.
The device is set to hit stores on April 29th, priced at £39.99.
