Amazon just dropped the Fire TV Stick HD, and it comes with a nice surprise in the box

Estimated read time 4 min read


As if four new Kindles weren’t enough for the Amazon devices team to unveil this week, a new Fire TV Stick has landed. It’s twofold in that we have a new streaming stick from Amazon, but it also streamlines the lineup a bit.

The all-new Fire TV Stick HD is replacing both the Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite as the entry point priced at $34.99 / £39.99 / AU$69, and it’s up for order right now. We’ve asked Amazon for availability and pricing for the United Kingdom and Australia, and we’ll update you once we hear back.

Just like the two streaming sticks it’s replacing, the Fire TV Stick HD is still a rectangular, black stick that will plug right into the HDMI port on the back of your TV. Out of sight and out of mind, though, it will need power, and Amazon is still opting for a micro USB port. That’s kind of wild in 2024, but Amazon includes a cable and power plug in the box.

Charging ports aside, the Fire TV Stick HD will deliver the classic experience Amazon’s streaming sticks—and boxes, err cubes—have become known for. It will stream content at up to 1080p HD and supports HDR, HDR 10, HDR10+, and HLG. Support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos is missing from that list, but this HDMI port does support Dolby-encoded audio.
