Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus Gets New Interface with 40% Discount

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is now available for $29.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, marking a 40 percent discount from its original price of $49.99. The device’s redesigned Fire TV OS, which was first showcased at CES, offers a faster and more organized user experience, similar to Google’s top-notch TV interface. With the updated software, users can easily navigate content using tabs across the top for search, home, movies, TV shows, sports, news, and live content, with personalized recommendations from all of their subscriptions. The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus features Alexa Plus support, allowing users to search for specific types of content with their voice, jump to particular scenes, control compatible smart home devices, check sports scores, and more. The remote has also been improved, with a long press of the Home button opening a panel for quick audio adjustments or device checks. In terms of hardware, the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus offers HDR10 Plus, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos support, as well as an Alexa Voice Remote for quick access to apps and voice controls. While it may not offer the same features as its more expensive counterparts, the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus strikes a good balance between price and performance. A cheaper alternative is the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select, which is now available for $19.99 at various retailers, marking a $20 discount from its original price. However, users may have to wait for the redesigned Fire TV OS update to arrive.
