Amazon has released an updated version of its Fire TV Stick HD with a discounted price, making it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their streaming experience. The new device boasts a sleeker design and enhanced features such as support for Wi-Fi 6, resulting in smoother streaming and faster performance.
The latest Fire TV Stick HD is over 30% faster than its predecessors, offering quicker start-up times and improved app performance. One notable feature is its ability to be powered directly through the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and helping maintain a tidy cable setup behind the TV.
Additionally, the device comes equipped with Amazon’s new Fire OS software, named Vega, which promises a more user-friendly interface, intelligent content recommendations, and a streamlined browsing experience.
Amazon describes the new Fire TV Stick HD as its slimmest streaming device yet, designed for direct power through the TV’s USB port for a more discreet installation without the need for an extra power adapter. Originally priced at £39.99, the device is now available on Amazon for £25.99, marking a 35% discount.
While Amazon’s deal is appealing, shoppers seeking even lower prices can find the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD at both Argos and Currys for £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and offering a £15 discount from the original launch price.
The older HD model still provides access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with Full HD playback, Alexa voice controls, shortcut buttons for quick app access, and smart home integration for compatible devices.
For those interested, the Fire TV Stick HD is currently priced at £24.99 at Argos and Currys, providing a budget-friendly alternative to Amazon’s offer.
