Amazon is set to release a new streaming device that outshines its current models with enhanced features. Priced at £39.99 and named the Fire TV Stick HD, this latest entry-level gadget boasts a sleeker and slimmer design compared to its predecessors.
With a 30% reduction in width, the new Fire TV Stick HD is not only easier to fit behind TVs but also highly portable for users on the move. The device draws power directly from the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter.
Described by Amazon as the slimmest streaming device, the Fire TV Stick HD is optimized for Direct Power via the TV’s USB port, enabling a more compact placement behind the TV. It offers access to popular streaming services like Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video, iPlayer, ITVX, and Netflix, along with a remote featuring Alexa voice search and quick app launch buttons.
Although it doesn’t support 4K quality, the Fire TV Stick HD provides full HD viewing, suitable for most households. Amazon touts noticeable speed enhancements in comparison to previous HD models, with over 30% faster performance, quicker app launches, and a faster boot-up time.
Equipped with the latest Fire operating system, the device promises a cleaner user experience, improved recommendations, and streamlined content discovery. The Fire TV Stick HD will hit stores on April 29th at a price of £39.99.
