Compact, easy to use, great user interface, Alexa aids searching and connectivity
Ethernet connection costs extra, no Dolby Vision support (if that matters), adds little to existing smart TVs, no Dolby Atmos content
We can't fault Fire TV's redesign. Moving to be a more compact package is always good news, although the need to buy that Ethernet accessory sets it at a minor disadvantage to Chromecast Ultra. However, the addition of the Alexa remote, a stable and easy-...

Plenty of content, So well priced, Alexa works very well
You really need to have Prime,
So should you plump for the Fire TV 4K? The Chromecast Ultra and Fire TV are very similarly-priced and which you go for depends on which ecosystem you're more embedded with (as well as whether you want a physical remote).Do you use Amazon Video and Amazon...

Image 8 of 8The Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD a brilliant product, but a tricky product to assess nonetheless. On the one hand, it's the market leader. For me, it's the easiest TV streamer to use, giving you voice control features, an intuitive UI and a simple...
An excellent selection of apps, 4K HDR Youtube, iPlayer, Netflix & Amazon, Keenly priced, Pretty UI, Nice remote, Alexa
No 24p Mode, Pendant design is a little strange, No HD audio passthrough, Not all that many UHD Movies
For a whisker under £70, the Amazon Fire TV 3 offers an awful lot in terms of internet streaming apps, with most of the big hitters present and correct. There are 4K HDR versions of Netflix, YouTube, BBC iPlayer (beta) and, of course, Amazon's own Prime a...
Compact and portable, Powerful, Affordable, Works with Alexa, Supports HDR
Dongle may strain HDMI ports, No Ethernet jack, No Dolby Vision
If you are building a smart home around Amazon's Alexa, then, yes, the Fire TV is most certainly the right streaming device for you. It's powerful, easy to use, and portable, meaning you can shove it in an overnight bag and use it wherever you roam.For th...

Ethernet connection costs extra, No Dolby Vision support (if that matters), Adds little to existing smart TVs, No Dolby Atmos content
If you've already taken the step of buying a Echo, the new Fire TV is a very logical move. The interface is clean, the 4K HDR crisp and there is plenty of content to enjoy too.Where Amazon's Fire TV really appeals though is the connectivity with Alexa and...

HDR compatibility, Better voice tech
Smaller size won't be for all
Amazon has completely redesigned the Fire TV, changing it from a 'front of the TV' solution to one you plug into the back of your television. It's added HDR to the mix, too, making it one of the most complete streaming solutions around...
Alexa integration, Good 4K and HDR library, Dolby Atmos hardware support, Seamless operation,
No access to Atmos content, No Dolby Vision, Amazon-heavy interface won't have universal appeal,
The Amazon Fire TV 4K won't be for everyone. With its performance being on a par with those of the apps built into Samsung TVs, it doesn't offer anything new to those with a newer TV.Non-Amazon Prime Video subscribers may prefer more objective platforms...
