Overview
- Amazon is selling the redesigned Fire TV Stick 4K on Amazon.com for $29.99, a 50% discount from its $59.99 list price that repeats the launch promotion.
- The new stick runs Amazon’s Vega operating system and lists a quad‑core 1.7 GHz CPU, 8 GB storage, Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and support for HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and AV1 video.
- Amazon advertises faster app loads — up to roughly 20–40% compared with other similarly priced 4K sticks — and a slimmer design with a Direct Power option that lets users power the device from a TV USB port.
- The updated remote is sold separately for about $15 and reviewers say it is more ergonomic and adds built‑in voice controls, but the stick omits some premium features found on the Plus and Max models such as higher‑end Wi‑Fi tiers and Dolby Atmos.
- This price return is likely a limited‑time promotion tied to Amazon’s broader Fire TV refresh, making the device an appealing, low‑cost upgrade for price‑sensitive buyers while buyers who need premium audio or top‑tier wireless performance should consider higher‑end models.
