Amazon is shaking things up with its streaming lineup again! The latest update to the Fire TV Stick family introduces the Fire TV Stick HD, which might sound like a brand-new product, but it’s actually a rebranded version of the 3rd generation Fire TV Stick—now at a lower price.
.
What’s New?
The Fire TV Stick HD comes equipped with a 1.7 GHz eight-core processor, giving you smooth streaming and reliable performance when accessing all your favorite apps. It supports Full HD and HDR content, ensuring you get high-quality visuals for your movie marathons and binge-watching sessions.
But the real kicker here is the price: this newly refreshed Fire TV Stick HD is priced at $35, which is $5 cheaper than its predecessor. You’re getting the same great hardware with updated software, bundled with the Alexa Voice Remote, but now at a more affordable price. The Alexa Voice Remote gives you control over not just your Fire TV, but also your TV, soundbar, and receiver—making it a central hub for your home entertainment.
Should You Upgrade?
The introduction of the Fire TV Stick HD brings some tough competition to Amazon’s own Fire TV Stick Lite, which is still available for $30. For just an extra $5, the Fire TV Stick HD offers a better remote and enhanced performance. Unless you’re looking for a very basic streaming experience, the Fire TV Stick HD is the better buy.
On the higher end of the spectrum, Amazon also offers the Fire TV Stick 4K for $50. If you’re willing to stretch your budget a bit more, this is the best option for those who want to enjoy 4K resolution and enhanced HDR and surround sound support.
Conclusion: Old Tech, New Value
While the Fire TV Stick HD may not introduce groundbreaking new technology, its rebrand and price cut make it an even more attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. If you’re not ready to splurge on a 4K experience, but still want smooth Full HD streaming, the Fire TV Stick HD is hard to beat.
With this update, Amazon ensures that there’s a Fire TV Stick for every type of viewer, whether you’re after an affordable entry-level stick or a feature-packed premium option.
