Before digging into the guide, check out the table of contents below.
This guide helps users cut the cord and still stream any TV show and movie.
First off..
WHAT IS THE AMAZON FIRE TV?
The Amazon Fire is a line of media boxes created, manufactured, and distributed by Amazon. It is designed to help you stream TV shows and movies through the use of apps that are installed on the system.
Compared to Android TV boxes which come in many brands and firmware options, the Fire TV only has the FireOS. It is optimized and knows how to process video well.
Since the Amazon Fire TV is made from Amazon, it comes enabled with Alexa smart home functionality and integration. You can control apps on your device with your voice.
AMAZON FIRE TV TYPES
The Fire TV is currently available in two different models:
Amazon Fire Stick
The Amazon Fire Stick is the most popular TV box because of its low price point. It is often the first smart TV box that visitors of our site purchase. Compared to the full Fire TV, the Fire Stick has less RAM and power.
Setup of the Fire Stick is as simple as plugging it into the wall and then into your TV directly.
The Amazon Fire Stick first generation does not include an Alexa remote, so you cannot control the device with your voice.
Because of its introductory price point, Amazon often has deals on the device. You can check out the current Firestick price of the device below.
Fire TV Stick streaming device with Alexa built in, includes Alexa Voice Remote, HD, latest release
- The #1 best-selling streaming media player, with Alexa Voice Remote (2nd Gen, released 2019).
- Use the dedicated power, volume, and mute buttons to control your TV, soundbar, and receiver.
Amazon Fire TV Cube
The Cube TV is the bigger version of TV box. It sits beside your TV and connects it with a standard HDMi cable like other android boxes.
The Amazon Fire TV box Cube version has more RAM and a better processor. Its power is more in line with other high powered boxes such as the Nvidia Shield TV.
Fire TV Cube, Hands-free streaming device with Alexa, 4K Ultra HD, includes Alexa Voice Remote
- The fastest, most powerful Fire TV streaming device.
- From across the room, just ask Alexa to turn on the TV, dim the lights, and play your show.
Fire TV Dongle
Previously, an Amazon Fire TV Dongle was availble, which was a hanging stick-like machine that plugged directly in to the back of your TV. You may see these Dongle’s available for sale, but they are not currently apart of the active Amazon lineup.
In our guide below, we will walk through the following important Amazon Fire TV information such as:
Let’s get started.
Amazon Fire Specs
The Fire TV Stick has an older 1.3GHz Quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM and an 8 GB hard drive. It does not support 4K video or HDR and has limited ports installed due to its small form factor.
It plugs directly into the HDMI port in the back of your TV and comes with a remote.
For the very basic of media users, it is a great starter box. If you are looking to do some live video streaming, the 1 GB of ROM is not sufficient from our testing.
The other big drawback of the Amazon Fire TV Stick is that it contains no Ethernet port. This means you need to buy an attachment if you want hardwired Ethernet support.
The Amazon Fire TV Cube version includes a better 1.5 GHz Quad-Core processor with 4K and HDR video support. Also, it has 2GB of RAM which is better for live video streaming.
Storage is alsovdoubled to be 16 GB. As well, it has a built-in speaker and 8 microphones so that you can control it from afar with Alexa controls.
A hard-wired Ethernet port is included so that you can get maximum speed out of your internet connection.
Where Can You Buy the Amazon Fire TV?
The Amazon Fire TV is only officially available through the Amazon website. Both versions of the box are available worldwide.
