Our take on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Streaming Device (2nd Gen, Newest Model)
The Fire TV Stick 4K is Amazon's compact streaming stick that plugs into an HDMI port and runs the Fire OS interface with access to Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube and most major apps. This second-generation model adds Wi-Fi 6 support and a faster processor than the original 4K stick, so menus and app loading feel quicker. It competes with the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and Google Chromecast with Google TV: Fire OS pushes Amazon content harder, while Roku is more neutral and Chromecast leans on Google's interface. It suits people who want a cheap, simple way to add 4K HDR streaming to an older TV, especially those already in Amazon's ecosystem.

- Supports 4K and Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG

Questions and answers

- Yes. This second-generation model adds Wi-Fi 6 and a faster processor than the original Fire TV Stick 4K.

- It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG, so HDR works with most modern TVs.
- Can I use it without an Amazon account?
- You need an Amazon account to set up the device, even if you mainly use other streaming apps.
- How does it compare with the Roku Streaming Stick 4K?
- Both stream 4K HDR. Roku has a more neutral interface, while the Fire Stick leans on Amazon content and adds Alexa voice control.
- What comes in the box?
- The stick, an Alexa voice remote, batteries, a USB power cable and a power adapter.
