Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is Amazon’s best streaming stick, supporting class-leading features like Wi-Fi 6, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Vision. The normal $55 price tag makes it a great value purchase, but a $30 discount drops the price even lower than the non-Max model, making this deal an absolute no-brainer.

4K smart TVs are quickly becoming the norm for anyone seeking an excellent content consumption experience. If you already bit the bullet and bought a 4K smart TV, you know the biggest drawback on most of them is the terrible user interface that’s not intuitive to navigate, stutters on the slow processor, and most often, lacks system-level support for voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is essentially a Fire TV Stick 4K turned up to eleven. It features all the bells and whistles you could hope for in a streaming stick and then some. For instance, the device includes a quad-core processor capped at 1.8GHz instead of 1.7GHz on all other Fire TV Stick models. You also get 2GB of RAM instead of the usual 1GB. Additionally, the device features a 150MHz GPU for smooth performance when cloud gaming on Amazon Luna. Amazon says that together, these features make the Fire TV Stick 4K Max 40% more powerful than the non-Max model.

You won’t lose out on a proper cinematic experience with support for Dolby Atmos audio on some Netflix Prime Video and Disney+ shows. If you have one of thenew Wi-Fi 6 routers, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max can also take advantage of the faster connection speeds, leading to lower application load times and buffer-free streaming from the web.

If you prefer streaming live TV, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max has you covered. With support for Picture in Picture (PIP), this Fire TV Stick can even show your security camera feed in a smaller window while you enjoy your entertainment. The only downside we can think of is that despite beingAmazon’s latest and greatest Fire TV Stick, the 4K Max model is powered by micro-USB instead of the contemporary USB-C standard.

However, for all the features included, the $55 Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a compelling purchase, especially if you seek to resolve the slow and lag-prone UI of your smart TV OS. With this 55% discount for Prime Day, a Fire TV Stick that’s 40% more powerful is an absolute steal for $25. For reference, that’s even lower than the regular $40 retail price of the no-Max Fire TV Stick 4K. Even in the last couple of years, we haven’t seen this high-end streaming solution sell for lower than $35. You should cop this $25 deal before it runs out.
