Amazon has introduced the Fire TV Stick HD globally. This new model is taking the place of the previous Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite, making it the basic option in the series. It will be available alongside the Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
### Features and Streaming Capabilities
The Fire TV Stick HD retains the same functionalities as the older version, allowing users to access popular apps like Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney+. The device streams in 1080p and supports HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG formats. However, it does not include support for Dolby Vision, which is found in the 4K versions, but it does work with Dolby audio. Designed to connect to your TV through HDMI, it has 8GB of storage, 1GB of memory, and connects via Wi-Fi 5. Additionally, the Fire TV Stick comes equipped with an Alexa voice remote, enabling you to search for shows and movies, control the volume, or manage smart home devices.
### What's in the Box
Inside the package, you will find the Fire TV Stick, Alexa Voice Remote, HDMI Extender, a power cable, adapter, and two AAA batteries. The Amazon Fire TV Stick HD is priced at $34.99/£39.99/€44.99, which positions it between the Lite and the Fire TV Stick models it replaces. Furthermore, customers can receive a discount of up to 20% on their purchase when they trade in an older model or a competing product.
Amazon's latest offering aims to cater to a broad audience looking for a budget-friendly streaming solution while maintaining access to popular content.
