Amazon-heavy interface
Requires inconvenient power adapter
Interface is curated primarily around Amazon content. Not as quick as the Fire TV. No iOS version of the remote app yet
No 4K video support
Alexa features are slightly limited compared with Amazon Echo
Slower than most other streaming devices. Popular apps like Netflix
Hulu
YouTube and others take a back seat to Amazon's own TV shows and movies. There's no way to customize the interface
The current user interface pushes Amazon content too aggressively. Alexa is less useful than with always-on devices. Unlike Roku there's no dedicated app for any other a la carte video service
Like Vudu or Fandango Now
Beyond Amazon's
Missing some major apps including Vudu and M-Go
Global search favors Amazon results
Remote app is inconsistent and voice search may not work
Still no HBO Go
Included remote lacks voice search button
Still some rough edges and inconsistencies in Fire OS
Abstract: The Amazon Fire TV Stick is the latest media streamer from the e-tailing giant, a downsized, slightly slower version of its flagship Fire TV, but it rings up at just £35. Is it worth a home in your TV set, or are you better off with any of its rivals? We ...
Thanks to its powerful internals and nice interface, the Fire TV Stick is a great gadget for watching Prime Instant Video, Netflix, iPlayer and Demand 5. The remote may lack a mic, but you can still use voice search in Prime Instant Video using the iOS, A...
Impressive hardware specifications, Well priced, Great features, Simple and elegant menu system
No universal search
The Amazon Fire TV Stick is a really tempting impulse purchase, for £35 this device effectively turns a standard television into a Smart TV.If you don't subscribe to Amazon Prime then there are cheaper alternatives. It might be worthwhile to consider sign...
Abstract: Amazon has brought its Fire TV Stick to the UK, a rival to the Google Chromecast and Roku Streaming Stick . Here we take a look at how the three HDMI-dongle streaming sticks compare in price, specs and features. See : 6 best media streamers UK: What's the...
Speedy and smooth operation, Great library of casual games, Beefy processor and RAM, Good sized storage for such a device
Requires the included power adapter for use, Some UK catch-up services missing, Only get the most with Prime membership
Amazon has made its intentions clear with the Fire TV Stick. It has priced it aggressively (a touch more expensive than the Chromecast, quite a bit cheaper than the Roku) but offers a lot more for the money – certainly in terms of internal tech.However, w...
Abstract: The Amazon Fire TV Stick, the bargain version of Amazon's super-fast voice search-enabled Fire TV, launches in the UK on April 15 and starts taking pre-orders today. But we've been trialling it in the US since it launched there last autumn. We'll add some...
Super-fast navigation, Intuitive home-screen layout, Instant access to Amazon content, Wide selection of apps and games
No Ethernet connection, Search limited to Amazon content, Gaming accessories cost as much as the stick
We're still big fans of Roku's service-agnostic stance, and it has the best selection of apps and the best search feature on the market. But when it comes to games and access to Amazon's universe of content, the Fire TV Stick is a far superior choice. Un...

Cheap, well made and easy to use, Good audio and video quality, Fun one-button casual gaming, Great deal for Prime members
Slower than its big brother, No voice search, Fewer apps than rivals
Amazon Fire TV Stick verdict Open Gallery Amazon did the right thing in releasing a super-portable streaming stick. The Fire TV Stick is small enough to take on holiday with you or to lend to a mate, and looks very respectable when stacked up aga...

Abstract: No disrespect to the full-sized Fire TV that Amazon launched last April, but the Fire TV Stick is the media-streamer that the online giant should have released in the first place.While the Fire TV is a solid video streamer for $99, it's overkill if you ju...

Por 59,99 euros o mejor aún, por 39,99€ si eres usuario Prime, el Amazon Fire TV Stick nos parece un producto que podríamos considerar como imprescindible. Es cierto que compite en cierta medida con el Chromecast de Google aunque hay algunas diferencias e...
