Just a few days ago it was completely filtered the design of Amazon’s Fire TV Stick Lite and, yesterday, the company presented several devices at its private event, including both this Fire TV Stick Lite and the renewal of the Fire TV Stick. The basic model is thus renewed and a somewhat cheaper version is launched, two new devices focused on the home.
We already anticipated that there are not many differences between both models, since Amazon has renewed processor and functions in both. However, there are important differences when using the controls from the remote.
The two main novelties at the user experience level are shared in the two Fire Stick TV models. The first of it is that a new user interface arrives on the TV. Despite being released with these new models, it will also be available for the rest of the devices in the Fire TV family through a software update.
The second novelty is that now there is better integration with Alexa, with answers that will appear at the bottom of the screen so as not to be intrusive. This novelty comes hand in hand with the improvement in the interface, so it will also reach other devices.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick has up to 50% more power in your processor, according to Amazon. Now it mounts a quad-core SoC with a maximum frequency of 1.7 GHz. It has support for HDR and the streaming playback is in Full HD + and 60 FPS, far from the 4K model. Similarly, it supports Dolby Atmos and 5 GHz WiFi networks.

What about the Lite model? It is the same model, but with some differences in the command, called “TV controls” by Amazon. On the Fire Stick Lite we don’t have volume buttonsWe also don’t have a power button and we don’t have the little Fire Stick status LED. In return, we have a button with a TV icon, which gives access to the interface’s television programming.

As usual with the Fire Stick, we have access to many applications, such as Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney +, DAZN, Atresplayer, Mitele and more. Similarly, we can use Alexa skills And, in the event that we are Amazon Prime users, we will have free access to movies and series episodes.
The new Amazon Fire TV Stick is priced at € 39.99, while the Lite version starts at € 29.99. Differences are minimal at the specification level, but the more complete control of the Fire Stick TV makes the product more expensive. Both are available for reservation on Amazon and will go on sale on September 30.
