Our take on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K UHD Streaming Device (2023, 2nd Gen)
The Fire TV Stick 4K is Amazon's mid-range streaming stick, plugging straight into an HDMI port and running the Fire OS interface. It streams in 4K with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos audio, and its remote has voice control through Alexa. It sits below the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, which adds a faster processor, Wi-Fi 6E and more storage, and above the HD-only base Stick. It suits people who want a cheap, simple way to make an older 4K TV smart, especially those already using Alexa and Prime Video.
- Streams 4K with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos
- Alexa voice remote for search and smart-home control
- Compact stick design hides behind the TV
- Wide app selection, including all major streaming services
- Simple setup with the bundled HDMI extender

Questions and answers
- Is the Fire TV Stick 4K worth it over the HD Stick?
- Yes, if you have a 4K TV. The 4K model adds 4K resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, which the HD Stick lacks.
- Should I buy the 4K or the 4K Max?
- The 4K Max has a faster processor, Wi-Fi 6E and more storage, so it loads apps quicker. The standard 4K is the better pick if you don't need that extra speed.
- Does it need a 4K TV to work?
- No. It works on any TV with an HDMI port and will output at the TV's resolution, but you only get 4K and HDR benefits on a compatible 4K TV.
- What is in the box?
- The stick, an Alexa voice remote, two AAA batteries, a power adapter, a USB cable and an HDMI extender.
- Can I connect it to Ethernet?
- Not directly. It connects over Wi-Fi, and wired networking needs a separate Ethernet adapter sold by Amazon.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It passes Dolby Atmos audio to compatible soundbars and receivers, along with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ video.
