Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus vs Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K

Both are 4K HDR sticks from Amazon with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, so picture and sound are close. The 4K Plus is the newer model: it adds Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 LE, an AI-powered search, an Alexa Voice Remote with TV power and volume control, and Xbox Game Pass support. The plain 4K Stick is the older generation and is the safer pick only if you find it cheaper or already own one. Owners and reviewers rate the 4K Plus well for speed and voice features but call its interface crowded.

  • Choose the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus if you want the newest Fire TV stick with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, AI search and a remote that controls your TV's power and volume.
  • Choose the Fire TV Stick 4K if you want a basic 4K HDR stick and don't need Wi-Fi 6 or the newer remote features.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a 4K TV?
Both output 4K at up to 60 fps with Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The 4K Plus adds Wi-Fi 6 and a better remote, so it is the stronger match for a modern 4K set.
Do both support Dolby Atmos?
Yes. Both list Dolby Atmos, and both pass audio over HDMI to a soundbar or receiver.
Is the 4K Plus worth stepping up to?
If you want Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, AI search and a remote that controls your TV, yes. If you only stream 4K from Netflix or Prime Video, the plain 4K Stick covers it.
Which lasts longer?
Neither has a moving-part failure point; both are small sticks with the same 8 GB storage. The 4K Plus has newer wireless radios, which helps as Wi-Fi 6 routers become common.
Can I use either with a soundbar?
Yes. Both connect over HDMI and support HDMI audio pass-through, so they work with a soundbar or A/V receiver.
Do either have an Ethernet port?
No. Both are Wi-Fi-only sticks; you would need a separate adapter for a wired connection.
