This saves you $20 (40 percent) off the usual price of the streaming device at $49. Although it’s not the lowest, it’s still pretty close to the record-low $24 we saw last year.
Why the Amazon Fire TV 4K (2023) stick is for you
Apart from the Wi-Fi 6 connectivity that enables more stable streaming when it is connected to a busy router, the 2023 Fire TV Stick 4K also added bigger 2 GB RAM and a quad-core processor for even faster performance. It comes with 8 GB storage, too, which you can use to install games and apps.
Amazon gave the new Fire TV Stick 4K with Dolby Vision for more realistic picture quality in 4K resolution. This is then paired with the existing HDR+ and Dolby Atmos audio certifications. Of course, you’ll need to have a compatible 4K TV and speakers to take advantage of those enhancements.

You can also stream live camera feeds right into your TV with just a simple voice command. This works even while you’re streaming movies through the live-view picture-in-picture feature.
If you prefer larger onboard storage and one with an Amazon’s Ambient TV, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is also on sale which has its price dropped to $39 from $59.
