The new Fire TV Stick 4K<\/a> will be a little easier to set up than Amazon\u2019s previous 4K streaming sticks since it no longer requires a power adapter. You can power the device directly from your TV\u2019s USB port, like the updated entry-level Fire TV Stick<\/a> Amazon launched earlier this year. The Fire TV Stick 4K, available starting today for $59.99, runs on Amazon\u2019s refreshed TV OS<\/a> and includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and Bluetooth Low Energy.<\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s also simplifying its streaming stick lineup, which now includes four devices instead of five: the Fire TV Stick HD, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube. The new Fire TV Stick 4K is replacing Amazon\u2019s earlier \u201cSelect\u201d and \u201cPlus\u201d 4K streaming sticks.<\/p>\n

A redesigned Fire TV Remote is launching alongside the new streaming stick, featuring a new asymmetrical shape and \u201cmore tactile controls.\u201d The new remote is compatible with all Amazon Ember TVs and Fire TV streaming devices from 2019 onward. It will be available standalone for $14.99 and starts shipping late October. Amazon says it also plans to launch a \u201cPlus\u201d version of the new remote early next year, with an aluminum design, backlit buttons, and a \u201cFind My Remote\u201d feature.<\/p>\n

Fire TV is getting a few software updates<\/a>, as well, including an Alexa Plus<\/a> Hub and an Alexa Plus integration in the Fire TV mobile app. Amazon says its AI \u201cnow draws on real-world context\u201d like awards and events, helping it answer more complex prompts for show and movie suggestions. Amazon Music is also getting a new Fire TV app later this fall, with an Alexa Plus integration users can prompt for music and podcast recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new Fire TV Stick 4K will be a little easier to set up than Amazon\u2019s previous 4K…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":787601,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2151,7174,59,50,3842,227,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-787600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-amazon","tag-amazon-alexa","tag-gb","tag-news","tag-streaming","tag-tech","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=787600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787600\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/787601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=787600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=787600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=787600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
