  • 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

  • Der Amazon Fire TV Stick ist ein echter Preisknaller. Er ist im Vergleich zur größeren und teureren Box besser tragbar und insbesondere dank seiner Fähigkeit, verschlüsselte Hotel-WLANs zu erkennen, ein prima Reisebegleiter. Wer diesen Dongle (plus Netzte...

  • Klein, flott, günstig, Einfache Installation, Tolle Menüstruktur
  • Sprachsteuerung nur über App
  • Es gibt wohl keinen günstigeren Einstieg in den Streaming-Markt als den Amazon Fire TV Stick. Allerdings empfehlen wir, eine Amazon Prime Instant Video Mitgliedschaft abzuschließen. Diese kostet 49 Euro im Jahr. Dadurch wird nicht nur der Fire TV Stick n...
