The third-generation Fire TV Stick is Amazon's Full HD streaming dongle, roughly 50% faster than the second generation and bundled with the Alexa Voice Remote that adds TV power and volume controls. It plugs straight into an HDMI port and runs the Fire OS interface with Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Peacock, YouTube TV, Sling and ad-supported apps like Tubi and Pluto TV. It suits people with an older 1080p TV who want app support and voice search without buying a new set. Against the Fire TV Stick 4K it gives up 4K and Dolby Vision but costs less and is lighter on bandwidth; against a Roku or Google TV dongle it leans harder on Amazon's ecosystem and Alexa.

Owners generally find the third-gen Stick quick for 1080p and like the voice remote with TV controls. Complaints center on the Amazon-heavy home screen and the lack of 4K.
