Amazon launches its new Fire TV Stick HD device for TV screens
Amazon has announced the launch of the new Fire TV Stick HD, a budget device that turns regular TVs into smart devices. The device starts at $35 and is now available for purchase through the official Amazon store.
This device is an update to the previous device in the same category, as it comes with a remote control that can be used to control the TV, receiver and speakers, which is a new feature compared to previous versions.
The new device features a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage.
The device doesn't support Wi-Fi 6, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Vision HDR available on the more expensive Fire TV Stick 4K, but it does support Wi-Fi 5 and multiple HDR standards like HLG and HDR10/10 Plus, and the device includes Alexa support, just like the older Fire TV Stick Lite.
One of the most important new features of the Fire TV Stick HD is the remote control that can be used to control the TV and other surrounding components, in addition to its support for the HDMI ARC function, which allows the transfer of sound from the TV to a connected audio device, such as external speakers and amplifiers, in high quality using a dedicated cable.
Amazon's Fire TV Stick HD is an ideal choice for those who want to turn their regular TVs into smart TVs without having to use multiple devices, and users looking for higher streaming quality and more advanced features can purchase the Fire TV Stick 4K versions of the product.
