The calendar has turned to October, signaling the start of the spooky season and a week away from Prime Big Deal Days, which commences on October 8th. Currently, there are numerous early Prime Day deals available, particularly significant discounts on Amazon’s stick-style streaming devices. The latest Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is now priced at $24.99, $25 off its regular price, available on Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. Additionally, the faster Fire TV Stick 4K Max is reduced to $34.99, also $25 off, and is offered at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
For those with an additional $10 in the budget, it is recommended to consider the Fire TV Stick 4K Max due to its enhanced performance. This model boasts an upgraded processor and Wi-Fi 6E support, facilitating sufficient bandwidth for 4K streaming. It also offers double the storage capacity of the base model, with 16GB compared to 8GB, and includes a more functional Alexa Voice Remote that provides new features such as a find-my-remote function and a button for quick access to recent content.
However, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max does not present many additional advantages over the standard Fire TV Stick 4K. Both models support Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10 Plus, and Dolby Atmos on compatible apps. This level of parity was not available in previous generations, ensuring that users can have a premium viewing experience for movie nights with either 2023 model.
