Amazon has announced the launch of some new products (affiliate links below):
- Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $54.99
- Amazon Fire TV 50″ 4-Series 4K UHD Smart TV for $359.99 (save $110)
- Amazon Fire TV 50″ Omni Series 4K UHD Smart TV for $399.99 (save $110)
I suspect the Fire stick 4k will go on discount during Black Friday, but the pre order pricing on the Fire TV seems more competitive.
Amazon 50″ tv shows $469, not $359…. Did prices just go up??
Sorry, just saw the pre order price underneath
Still 8gb storage on the 4k stick in 2021 because they want you to get the cube, that’s just plain greedy
I have 3 sticks and never now they only have 8GB because I never have problem with storage. They are streaming devices.
The OS and Amazon bloatware eat up a good chunk of the 8GB. After installing additional apps (which have caches that can grow in size), not much may be left and performance can be negatively affected.
Before Covid I was constantly juggling what apps were installed on my firestick. We would have people over all the time and play Jackbox Party Pack. Expandable memory / more memory is the No. 1 thing I want from a new Firestick.
At least with the existing generation Fire stick, you can use an OTG cable to add devices. I did so in order to add an Infrared remote receiver.
What is the features difference between the two TVs for the $40??
Click on the link for one of them, scroll down a bit and select “See the differences”
I was wondering exactly the same
one of them has mics for an always on Alexa

Can someone click this link for the two above? … and read it?
Hands-free with Alexa
Two-way video calling with Alexa Communications
As far as I can tell the only difference is hands-free Alexa and 2-way video calling on the Omni whereas you only have Alexa via a button press on the 4-series
Pretty comprehensive info
