Amazon Fire Tv Stick And Fire Tv Stick Lite: New

Two years ago Amazon did not touch its family of HDMI dongles. He did it with the output of the Fire TV Stick 4K, but now his approach is twofold: they renew the basic model that is now more powerful, and open a new option with a modest and inexpensive version that wants to bring this device closer to more homes. This is how the new Amazon Fire TV Stick and Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite were born.

These new models take the witness of the original device and pose a unique and also cheaper alternative to the Chromecast – which by the way, have a new version much more “à la Fire TV Stick” imminent.
