Amazon Unveils Faster Fire TV Stick 4K and Redesigned Remote as It Simplifies Its Streaming Lineup
Amazon says the stick starts content nearly 20% faster than a comparable 4K model and adds a more tactile remote with a customizable button.
- On Wednesday, Amazon launched the Fire TV Stick 4K for $60, introducing a faster, slimmer streaming device that replaces older 4K models in its simplified hardware lineup.
- Amazon consolidated its streaming hardware into four main devices—Fire TV Stick HD, the new 4K model, 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube—retiring the previous 'Select' and 'Plus' 4K branding to simplify buyer choice.
- The redesigned Fire TV Remote features a programmable star button and metallic home key for tactile identification, while the stick includes 8 GB of storage, a 1.7 GHz processor, and Wi-Fi 6 support.
- Software updates bring a dedicated Alexa+ hub to the Fire TV interface, enabling smarter content reasoning and mobile app integration for managing watchlists and discovering shows on phones.
- A premium Fire TV Remote Plus arrives in early 2027 with backlit buttons and a 'Find My Remote' feature, while the current stick drops to $30 during next week's Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.
