Amazon Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick 4K look like a large USB disk drive and connect directly to your TV's HDMI port. The standard model is lowered to $ 24.99, from its normal price of $ 39.99. This is the one you want if you don't have a 4K TV.
If you have a 4K TV, you can buy the Fire Stick 4K for $ 34.99, down from $ 49.99.
Both Fire TV Sticks come with an Alexa Voice Remote, a remote control that allows you to use your voice to control playback.

You can use the Fire TV Cube for Alexa to control your smart home products, such as turning a light on or off or asking it to start broadcasting a program.
The Fire TV Cube transmits in 4K Ultra HD, with support for Dolby Vision, HDR and HDR10 +, if your TV supports it. It is by far the most powerful of the Amazon Fire TV streaming devices.
