Amazon has unveiled an updated price for its latest Fire TV Stick HD, presenting a great opportunity to explore a new streaming experience. The revamped device boasts enhancements such as a sleeker design, Wi-Fi 6 support for improved streaming quality, and faster overall performance.
The new Fire TV Stick HD, as per Amazon, offers over 30% faster speeds compared to previous HD models, resulting in quicker start-up times and enhanced app functionality.
A notable feature of this device is its ability to draw power directly from the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and ensuring a tidy cable setup behind the television.
Additionally, the device debuts Amazon’s latest Fire OS software, Vega, which promises a more organized interface, intelligent content suggestions, and a smoother browsing experience.
Amazon’s statement on the launch highlights the slim design of the new Fire TV Stick HD, emphasizing its compact size and the convenience of being powered through the TV’s USB port without requiring an extra adapter.
Originally priced at £39.99, the updated Fire TV Stick HD is now available on Amazon for £25.99, reflecting a 35% discount.
While Amazon’s deal is enticing, savvy shoppers seeking additional savings can find a slightly lower price elsewhere. Both Argos and Currys have reduced the price of the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD to £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and offering a £15 discount off the original launch price.
The older HD model still grants access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, supports Full HD playback, features Alexa voice controls, quick app launch buttons, and smart home integration for compatible devices such as smart lights.
