Amazon has revealed a new device: the Fire TV Stick 4K, the most powerful streaming media stick available, plus an all-new Alexa Voice Remote. The two items are available together for $49.99. The Alexa Voice Remote is also available with the recently launched Fire TV Cube for $119.99 and can be purchased as a single remote for $29.99.
We’ve listened to our customers and pushed to deliver the complete 4K solution they are looking for, all within a compact stick form factor. The team invented an entirely new antenna technology and combined that with a powerful 802.11ac Wi-Fi chip that optimizes for the best possible 4K UHD streaming experience, even in congested network environments. Our new quad-core processor delivers a fast and fluid experience and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ provides an amazing picture. Plus, the all-new Alexa Voice Remote lets you control your complete entertainment experience and use your voice to quickly find the content you want. Just say, ‘Find 4K movies.’
