Amazon has unveiled an updated price for its latest Fire TV Stick HD, making it a great opportunity to explore new features. This revamped device boasts a sleeker design, Wi-Fi 6 support for enhanced streaming quality, and improved performance speed.
The new Fire TV Stick HD is reported to be over 30% faster than its predecessors, offering faster boot-up times and better app performance. Notably, it can be powered directly through the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and ensuring a tidier cable setup behind the TV screen.
Additionally, the device comes with Amazon’s latest Fire OS software, Vega, promising a more organized interface, intelligent content suggestions, and a smoother browsing experience.
Amazon highlighted, “The new Fire TV Stick HD is our most compact streaming device yet, with a smaller form factor and designed for direct power via the TV’s USB port, allowing it to blend seamlessly behind a TV without requiring an additional power adapter.”
Originally priced at £39.99, the new Fire TV Stick HD is now offered at £25.99 on Amazon, representing a 35% discount. However, for bargain hunters seeking even lower prices, both Argos and Currys are selling the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD for £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and slashing £15 off the launch price.
The older HD model continues to provide access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with Full HD playback, Alexa voice controls, quick app launch shortcuts, and smart home integration for compatible devices such as lights.
