There’s no shortage of great shows and movies to watch, but discovering something new isn’t always easy. Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Plus and Fire TV Stick 4K Max come with redesigned software that aims to make it easier to finding something you’ll like, and both 4K-ready streaming sticks are back to their lowest prices to date. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Amazon’s fastest, most feature-packed stick, is $34.99 ($25 off) at Best Buy and Target, while the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus with fewer capabilities is on sale for $24.99 ($25 off) at Best Buy and Target.
As for what distinguishes the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, it offers double the internal storage (16GB) and supports Wi-Fi 6E versus Wi-Fi 6 in the Plus. It’s also the only streaming stick in the lineup that supports the Fire TV Ambient Experience, which turns your TV into a smart display, of sorts, that can showcase artwork and Alexa widgets, like your calendar or sticky notes, when you’re not streaming.
Core specs aside, the two streaming sticks have a lot in common, including support Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus, plus Dolby Atmos audio if your sound system is compatible with the feature. They run Amazon’s updated Fire TV experience, which pulls in recommendations from across your streaming subscriptions, organizes content into dedicated hubs for TV shows, sports, and more, and lets you pin up to 20 favorite apps.
What’s more, they both have deep Alexa Plus integration, allowing you to launch content from specific streaming services, or search for specific scenes, with just your voice. Additionally, you can summon Alexa to control compatible smart home devices, or to display a live feed from your connected Ring cameras on the TV.
