Amazon has unveiled the latest version of its Fire TV Stick HD with a reduced price, making it an appealing option for those looking to upgrade their streaming experience. The updated device boasts a sleeker design and supports Wi-Fi 6 for enhanced streaming quality and faster performance.

The new Fire TV Stick HD is more than 30% faster than its predecessors, offering quicker start-up times and improved app functionality, according to Amazon. One notable feature is its ability to be powered directly from the TV’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter and ensuring a neat cable setup behind the TV.

In addition, the device comes with Amazon’s latest Fire OS software, named Vega, which promises a more user-friendly interface, intelligent content suggestions, and a smoother browsing experience. Amazon described the new Fire TV Stick HD as its slimmest streaming device yet, designed for easy installation behind the TV without requiring a separate power adapter.

Originally priced at £39.99, the new Fire TV Stick HD is now available on Amazon for £25.99, a discount of 35%. While this deal is enticing, consumers seeking an even lower price can find the device for £24.99 at both Argos and Currys, undercutting Amazon by £1 and offering a £15 discount from the launch price.

The older model of the Fire TV Stick HD still provides access to popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, along with Full HD playback, Alexa voice controls, shortcut buttons for quick app access, and smart home integration for compatible devices such as smart lights.
