The best cheap Fire TV Stick sales and deals

Amazon’s latest streaming device is the Fire TV Stick 4K, which was released in September of last year and is already one of the best streaming devices available. The Fire TV Stick 4K retails for $49.99/ £59.99/ AU$79, which is the same starting price as its 2021 predecessor. The main difference between the older model and the newer version is that the 2023 Fire TV Stick 4K comes with an improved processor that’s 25% faster, according to Amazon, and supports Wi-Fi 6. The streaming device also supports 4K, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos and includes an Alexa voice remote. 

The Fire TV Stick Lite was released in 2020 to the Amazon Fire TV family, and it’s the cheapest device that Amazon has put out yet. The budget streaming stick allows you to stream your favorite content from apps like Hulu, Amazon Video, Netflix, and more. You’ll get access to tens of thousands of channels, Alexa skills, and apps, and the Alexa voice remote allows you to browse shows, launch movies, adjust the volume, and more completely hands-free.

Amazon’s 3rd generation Fire TV Stick was released in 2021 with a starting price of $39.99/£39.99. The Fire TV Stick now includes an Alexa voice remote, allowing you to use your voice to launch movies, apps, shows, and more. While this model only supports HD streaming, the Fire TV Stick is 50% more powerful than the 2nd generation, and the Alexa remote includes all-new preset buttons, including Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, and Disney Plus, allowing you to get your apps faster.

The difference between the Fire TV Stick and the Fire TV Stick Lite is you’re getting Dolby Atmos with the Fire TV Stick, delivering a more immersive audio experience. If this isn’t important to you, we suggest purchasing the Fire TV Stick Lite, which is priced lower. 

Amazon’s 2021 Fire TV Stick 4K streaming device packs a wealth of features into a thumb-drive-sized stick for $49.99/£54.99. The updated Fire TV Stick features 4K Ultra HD capability with support for Dolby Vision, HDR, and HDR10+. You’re also getting a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, and Dolby Atmos Audio—something very few streaming sticks have. Plus, you also get Alexa, Amazon’s smart assistant, and its voice control capabilities.

Released in 2023, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max has a starting price of $54.99/£54.99, making it Amazon’s most expensive streaming stick device. The Fire TV Stick Max is also Amazon’s most powerful streaming stick, with support for Dolby Vision, HDR 10, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos. Unlike the Fire TV Stick 4K, the 4K Max supports Wi-Fi 6 and features the new quad-core 1.8 GHz processor that Amazon claims offers 40% more power than the previous generation.

Amazon’s Fire TV Cube is a hybrid between a smart speaker and a streaming media player. Calling itself the “first hands-free streaming media player with Alexa.” Amazon seems to be betting on this combined functionality to sway consumers away from rival Chromecast or Apple TV devices.  

Like the Amazon Echo speakers, customers can navigate Fire TV and play/pause/fast-forward content without the need for a remote while still using Alexa for all their weather/shopping/trivia concerns. Don’t worry, you get an actual remote control too. 

The Cube comes with its own Ethernet port, 16GB of storage, a built-in speaker, and top-of-the-range picture quality, as long as your TV can display it. Users can also control other compatible smart home devices, including additional speakers, soundbars, thermostats, and security cameras. Compared to Amazon Fire Stick prices, the TV Cube doesn’t come cheap, retailing for $119/£109.99. You are getting complete control of your Amazon smart home in one neat little black box, making it the easiest way to combine all your connected tech.  

Which Fire Stick prices are right for you?

The Fire Stick and the Fire Stick 4K prices are fairly similar to begin with ($39.99/£39.99 and $49.99/£49.99 respectively. So, when the sales do come around, you may well find that the more popular 4K model is cheaper than the original HD-only version. Even if you don’t own a 4K TV, there’s little point in picking up the older version when this happens (and it seems to regularly). In fact, even if the original Fire Stick prices are cheaper than the 4K offering, if there’s a sale on both regardless you might as well pick up the latest model and future-proof your purchase.
