Amazon Fire TV Stick: Here’s What We Like About It

The Amazon Fire TV Stick (2017) is the service’s second-generation of its video streaming device to compete with the likes of Google Chromecast Ultra. This dongle-sized device lets you stream Full-HD videos from Amazon Prime, Hotstar, and Netflix, as well as lets you access Prime Music, Gaana, and Amazon’s ever-growing games library.

When the Amazon Fire TV with mic was initially launched, it would only allow us to look up Amazon goodies such as movies from Amazon and apps from the Amazon Appstore. The new Fire TV Stick (2017), however, comes with an updated and improved UI. Although it doesn’t sway far off its previous layout, it is definitely more refined and cleaner.

We have rounded up some of the best parts of the Amazon Fire TV Stick for you, so let’s jump right into it.

Design and Build

The Amazon Fire TV Stick looks more like a hulked up version of a memory stick that fits straight into an HDMI port on your TV. This comes with an accompanying remote – similar to that of the Fire TV box – and to make the deal sweeter, Amazon has added Fire TV voice controls to the Echo speaker and other Alexa devices that lets you voice commands into the remote while holding a button.

Interface

Once your Fire TV Stick is all setup and ready to go, you might notice the change in interface from that of the previous Fire TV Stick. It was designed to learn your viewing habits over a period of time and provide suggestions tailored to your interests. If a show is selected, it also shows an in-depth program information including the cast and the show’s IMDb ratings.
