Amazon has launched two new versions of its popular Fire TV Stick, the Fire TV Stick 4K and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, offering improved performance and faster Wi-Fi streaming.
The Fire TV Stick 4K supports Dolby Vision, HDR, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos, optimizing the viewing experience for OLED TVs and home theatre systems.
In addition to hardware upgrades, the Fire TV Sticks also come with new software features, including an ambient mode that displays information from a family calendar, reminders, and local weather on the TV screen when not in use. Both models can be pre-ordered globally, with prices starting at $49.99.
