Amazon Announces Next-Generation Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick Lite, and Redesigned User Experience

With more than 100 million devices sold globally, Fire TV customers are streaming billions of hours every month. Amazon has made Fire TV even better, with the next-generation Fire TV Stick, the all-new Fire TV Stick Lite, and a reimagined Fire TV experience that is more personal and customised.

“We are passionate about inventing on behalf of our customers to make it even easier to enjoy the best in entertainment,” said Eric Saarnio, Vice President Amazon Devices EU. “The redesigned Fire TV experience is tailored to each user and makes it even simpler to stream your favourite shows with our more powerful next-generation Fire TV Stick and our even more affordable Fire TV Stick Lite.”

The all-new Fire TV Stick features an enhanced 1.7 GHz quad-core processor that makes it 50% more powerful than the previous generation. The new Fire TV Stick delivers faster streaming in 1080p at 60fps with HDR compatibility. The dual-band, dual-antenna WiFi supports 5 GHz networks for more stable streaming and fewer dropped connections.

Fire TV Stick Lite is a new, even more, affordable way to begin streaming in full HD. It is 50% more powerful than the previous-generation Fire TV Stick and features HDR support. Fire TV Stick Lite comes with the Alexa Voice Remote Lite, a new remote that allows you to use voice to find, launch, and control content.

All-New Fire TV Experience

Fire TV’s most significant experience update is redesigned to offer a more intuitive, simple, and customised experience. The Main Menu is now at the centre of your screen and makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. You can now jump into your favourite streaming service directly, or scroll over supported apps to quickly peek at what’s inside and begin playback. A brand new Find experience makes it easier than ever to discover great movies, TV shows, and more, with browsing capabilities that allow for broad and specific searches based on genre (e.g. comedies, action), helpful categories (e.g. Kids & Family, apps), and more.
