About this deal

Streaming in 1080p with HDR compatibility is super-fast while dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi supports 5GHz networks, providing more streaming reliability and stability. US Fire TV customers will also find a recently added tab on their device's interface; called ' Live TV', it collates all your live channels into one place. Also new is improved reception technology based on dual-band Wi-Fi with 2 antennas (MIMO) and 802.11ac support. This promises smooth streaming, even with data-intensive 4K and HDR content. The first version had a Broadcom BCM28145 Dual Vore 1.2 GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB Storage, 802.11n WiFi, and Bluetooth 3.0. While the new second generation has a Mediatek 8127D Quad-core ARM 1.3 GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB Storage, 802.11ac WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.1. The video output resolution is the same for both with High definition 720p or 1080p. Besides all that, this streamer includes access to all the standard Fire TV apps and an Alexa remote, the latest iteration of which adds the ability to control your TV’s power and volume settings from the remote itself.

Like it’s predecessor, you’ll still find a microphone button at the top of the remote, which can be used to summon Alexa without having to say “Alexa” before every command you make.The addition of Dolby Vision HDR support is also a big bonus for compatible TVs, and the upgraded Wi-Fi “antenna technology” promises to ensure stutter-free streaming of 4K HDR content.

The Fire TV 4K Max supports the same HDR and Atmos formats as the standard 4K model, and has double the storage (16GB) of its predecessor. It too ships with an Alexa Voice Remote that can also control your soundbar and AV receiver as well as your TV.The new model is even more powerful than the one it replaces, upping the processor to 2GHz, and supporting Wi-Fi 6E, which potentially means lower latency streaming and faster speeds (as long as you have a compatible router).

Also new in the third-gen model is a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, which helps to keep the Fire TV interface running smoothly.

Press the voice button and say the title you want to watch. This is supported by power, volume and mute buttons. What we have here is the first compact streaming adapter from Jeff Bezos's evil empire, which brings films and series to your television in the enormously high-resolution Ultra-HD. But that's not over yet - the device can also handle High Dynamic Range, HDR for short. However, this model does have one obvious edge over lower-tier models, and that’s the ability to stream compatible titles in Ultra HD should you have a 4K TV. The brightest and boldest new feature of the Max is the addition of Wi-Fi 6 compatibility, which allows for better bandwidth and lower power consumption during 4K streaming. That is, if you have a Wi-Fi 6 capable setup – but even if you don’t, it’s still great futureproofing as the format will become the standard eventually.
