I should point out that I watched the same 4K HDR content twice on the Stick 4K Max, both with the Eero Pro 6 enabled and with it disconnected. To get the most from the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, you’ll want a decent 4K TV that supports HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision. As always, when it comes to streaming sticks, the quality of the playback largely depends on the calibre of the TV and broadband. Meanwhile, select scenes from the HDR10+ show Good Omens offered explosions of light and colour, with details as crisp as can be.īut then again, these shows looked no better or worse than they did when viewed through the Prime Video app installed on my LG CX TV.

Dolby Vision film The Green Knight looked phenomenally gritty, full of foreboding shadow but never so dark as to obscure the embroidered finery and weatherbeaten faces of Aruthurian legend. Watching the latest 4K HDR content through the Max was as enjoyable as I expected it to be.
AMAZON 4K FIRE STICK PLUS
In terms of free content, you get all the usual UK catch-up apps plus the likes of YouTube and IMDb TV. From the main menu, you can jump into any popular paid service of your choosing, from Netflix and Now to Disney Plus and Apple TV.
The Fire TV’s menu of apps is as varied as you’ll find on any other streaming OS.

Indeed, Amazon-made content is so heavily featured on the home page that you sometimes forget you’re not in the actual Prime Video app but rather in the main menu.
AMAZON 4K FIRE STICK ANDROID
It’s a similar approach to Android TV, though I think I slightly prefer Android’s system, mainly due to Fire TV’s excessive promotion of all things Amazon. The Home page is split up into rows that feature recommended shows, films and apps in the form of tiles. The screen’s top row has three main sections to jump between – Home, Find, and Live – plus a selection of your go-to apps and access to the settings. It’s a pleasure to use, whether you’re browsing menus, searching for a specific show or installing an app. Currently running on Fire OS 7.2.5.5, the interface is easy to navigate and quick to respond. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max has a slick, user-friendly interface that will feel very familiar to anyone who has used a Fire TV stick previously. £39.99 Check price Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max review: Fire TV interface Not bothered about 4K, but still want Fire TV and Alexa at your command? The standard Fire TV Stick is a bargain at £40. Out of those two, it makes more sense to buy the Max, since it’s more future-proofed and comes with a better remote to boot. Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max review: Price and competitionĬoming in at £55, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is only marginally more expensive than its predecessor, the £50 Fire TV Stick 4K, which is still the same price, despite launching in 2018.
Complete High Dynamic Range support (Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG), Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus are all on board as well, and the Alexa voice remote is as handy as ever. What’s more, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max can now show live picture-in-picture camera feeds, a feat that previously could only be performed by Amazon’s Fire TV Cube, which was twice the price.Īs you’d expect, the 4K Max packs all of the streaming features that made the original 4K model so good. Well, this is Amazon’s first streamer with Wi-Fi 6 support, a feature that aims to ensure smoother streaming on 4K content across multiple Wi-Fi 6 devices. You’ll need a compatible Wi-Fi 6 router to enjoy the benefits, of course – and to help me write this review, Amazon provided one of its own Eero 6 dual-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 systems.
