Amazon makes IP control via advanced control systems a needless nightmare
Amazon Prime video content is forcefully prioritized to the exclusion of everything else
As such
Finding the app you're looking for can be needlessly complicated
Unless you use
No smartphone display mirroring
Voice search still doesn't work within Netflix and other apps
You might wonder why you need the Fire TV Stick 4K at all. After all, most 4K TVs have Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube apps and will let you stream in UHD HDR. And if your TV can do that then, yes, there's really not a lot a point in shelling out for th...
Setup could be easier, You need to be embedded in Amazon's ecosystem
Even though it can be hard to find, it's the presence of 4K HDR content from Amazon Prime Video (and also Netflix) that makes opting for the Fire TV Stick 4K worth it over and above the Full HD version – if you have a compatible TV.The value of the Amazon...
Great price for 4K HDR, Solid app selection, Speedy performance, New power and volume buttons on remote
No Now TV app, Not much 4K HDR content, Limited Alexa abilities for non-Amazon apps, Lame YouTube support
Amazon has produced another excellent little streamer. Because it's soooo Prime-centric, you'd be bonkers to buy it if you're not a subscriber. Having said that, the selection of third-party apps is excellent if you ignore Now TV, as indeed Amazon has. F...

Excellent 4K and HD visuals, Wide range of apps and 'channels' means access to a huge range of free, subscription and pay-to-view stuff to watch, Support for Dolby Vision, HDR 10+ and Atmos means it seems pretty future-proofed, Voice control and the ful
The sheer volume of stuff to watch makes it inevitably unwieldy, There's very little so far that actually plays back with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ or Atmos
Because of the way Amazon has priced its 4K Stick, and the way it's then packed it with quality content, albeit content that you largely have to pay for in one way or another, recommending it becomes something of a no-brainer.To my mind, Roku's Streaming...
Speedy operation, HDR10 and Dolby Vision support, Top-notch voice control, Basic TV controls on remote, Alexa keeps getting better
Somewhat awkward design, Voice search still needs work, System has a few kinks to work out
Yes, especially if you're down with Alexa. Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K is loaded with features, and apart from a few bugs to work out, it stands as one of the best streaming devices you can get for your money...
Abstract: After I bought a OnePlus TV over a year ago, my dependence on devices like Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick to power the television has come down. However, the fact remains that not all apps perform well on all smart TVs — for instance, Amazon Prime whic...
Abstract: There are many ways to watch online content on your TV. Your television itself might have apps, or you might have a Blu-ray player or game system connected with built-in streaming services. If neither case applies, or if your TV, Blu-ray player, or game...
Abstract: At its ‘Launch Night In' event, Google introduced a new Chromecast device called Chromecast with Google TV, and evidently it comes with Google TV, a new UI based on Android TV. Apart from new UI, the new Chromecast also comes with a remote control. These...

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is, in our opinion, the best streaming device available today, all things considered. While some might argue that the Apple TV and Apple TV 4K are better than their Amazon counterparts, these devices also cost a lot more. For i...
