I bought a Fire TV Stick 4K Plus for $25 during Big Day last month, and it was (and still is) the lowest price we’ve ever seen this streaming device hit. Amazon Prime Day is an annual shopping event where Amazon discounts many products, including its devices, so seeing the same price from the last Prime Day at Best Buy reinforces the validity of this deal.

As its name suggests, the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus supports TVs with 4K resolution, so you can stream 4K content to compatible TVs without problems. With 2GB of RAM, this streaming stick is really fast for the money, delivering much faster performance than my old Fire TV Sticks and even my Fire TV Series 4.

Also: I tested this fan-mounted MagSafe charger in a heat wave – and it actually kept my iPhone cool.

I Fire TV Stick 4K Plus it also supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos, as long as your TV and sound system do. It is compatible with Wi-Fi 6, if you have it at home, which helps reduce capacity, especially on busy networks.

I Fire TV Stick HD 2026 release of the basic Fire TV streaming stick. It supports full HD resolution and Wi-Fi 6. It’s also powered by your TV via the included USB-C cable, eliminating the need for a wall adapter and making the Fire TV Stick extremely portable.

Finally, i Fire TV Stick 4K Max it has all the features from the 4K Plus, but also supports Wi-Fi 6E and has 16GB of storage for better performance while holding more installed apps than other Fire TV Stick devices.

Something different that I noticed about this Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is the new interface that Amazon has started rolling out to the new devices. I already consider the interface of Fire OS to be very difficult to navigate among popular streamers, but I don’t find the new layout easy. I just bought this 4K Plus during Big Day, so I might need some time to get used to it.

However, if you have an Echo speaker and other Alexa smart home devices, one of these Fire TV Stick devices is a great way to expand your ecosystem. You can use the voice remote control to control smart home devices and use Amazon’s AI-powered advanced search feature. This allows you to ask more natural search information, such as “find funny action movies” instead of searching for a title or actor.

How did I rate this deal?

After researching the history of the prices of Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K PlusI found $25 to be the lowest price we’ve seen yet. While $25 is the lowest price in history, Amazon has already reduced it to that level during previous major sales events. For this reason, and because it may go down a lot during the next big sale, I give this deal a 4/5.
