Amazon has unveiled an updated price for its latest Fire TV Stick HD, presenting an ideal opportunity to explore a new streaming experience. The revamped device boasts enhancements such as a sleeker design, support for Wi-Fi 6 for seamless streaming, and enhanced performance speed.
The new Fire TV Stick HD is reported to be over 30% faster than its predecessors, offering accelerated start-up times and improved app functionality. Notably, it can be powered directly through a TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and ensuring tidy cable management behind the screen.
Furthermore, the device introduces Amazon’s latest Fire OS software named Vega, featuring a user-friendly interface, intelligent content suggestions, and a more efficient browsing experience. Amazon highlighted that the new Fire TV Stick HD is the slimmest streaming device to date, compact in both size and width compared to previous models, and designed for direct power via the TV’s USB port for a neat setup without requiring an additional adapter.
Initially priced at £39.99 upon its recent release, the new Fire TV Stick HD is now accessible on Amazon for £25.99, representing a 35% discount.
While the discount offered by Amazon is enticing, consumers seeking the best deal can find even more savings elsewhere. Both Argos and Currys have reduced the price of the 2024 Fire TV Stick HD to £24.99, undercutting Amazon by £1 and providing a £15 discount off the original launch price.
The older HD model still offers access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with Full HD playback, Alexa voice controls, quick app access buttons, and smart home management for compatible devices such as lights.
