1. Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen) – Best Overall
The 4K Max (2nd Gen) is the best Amazon Fire TV Stick yet, with the most storage ever, the most powerful performance, and a wide range of features.
It delivers 4K resolution at 60 Hz, with support for Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and other HDR and surround sound formats.
The Alexa Voice Remote Enhanced remote adds more buttons for more TV control, including a Live TV key that is very useful when live sports are being broadcast. The Ambient Experience gives you a customizable screen saver with useful productivity widgets such as weather and reminders. If you are in the US, you can also take advantage of the generative AI features.
It doesn’t have hands-free Alexa like the more expensive Fire TV Cube, but at just £10/$10 more than the next model, it’s still the best choice if you have a 4K TV. If you only have a 1080p panel, opt for the 3rd generation Fire Stick.
There are ads on the home screen and heavily promoted Amazon content from Prime Video and IMDb TV. But with a well-stocked app store that includes all the popular streaming services, it’s easy to recommend.
