Amazon has introduced a discounted price for its latest Fire TV Stick HD, making it an opportune moment to upgrade and experience something new. The revamped device boasts enhancements such as a sleeker design, compatibility with Wi-Fi 6 for smoother streaming, and faster overall performance.
The new Fire TV Stick HD, as per Amazon, offers over 30% increased speed compared to prior HD models, resulting in faster boot-up times and enhanced app functionality.
A notable feature of this device is its ability to be powered directly through the TV’s USB port, eliminating the necessity for a separate power adapter and ensuring a tidy cable setup behind the TV.
Furthermore, the device debuts Amazon’s latest Fire OS software, Vega, which ensures a more organized interface, intelligent content suggestions, and a streamlined browsing experience.
Amazon’s statement on the launch emphasized the compactness of the new Fire TV Stick HD, highlighting its reduced volume and width compared to earlier models, along with its Direct Power feature through the TV’s USB port.
Initially priced at £39.99, the new Fire TV Stick HD is now available on Amazon for £25.99, representing a 35% discount.
While Amazon’s offer is enticing, shoppers seeking the best deal can find slightly lower prices elsewhere. Both Argos and Currys have slashed the price of the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD to £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and reducing the original launch price by £15.
The older HD model still grants access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with Full HD playback, Alexa voice controls, quick app launch shortcut buttons, and smart home control for compatible devices such as lights.
