Amazon's New Fire TV Stick 4K Needs No Power Adapter, Costs $59.99
Amazon launches a Fire TV Stick 4K that draws power from your TV's USB port, priced at $59.99 and available today, alongside a redesigned remote.
Amazon has launched a new Fire TV Stick 4K that can be powered directly from a TV's USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. The device is available starting today for $59.99.
The streaming stick runs on Amazon's refreshed TV OS and adds Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and Bluetooth Low Energy. It replaces Amazon's earlier Select and Plus 4K streaming sticks, part of a broader effort to simplify the lineup to four devices: the Fire TV Stick HD, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube.
Alongside the stick, Amazon is launching a redesigned Fire TV Remote with a new asymmetrical shape and more tactile controls. The remote is compatible with all Amazon Ember TVs and Fire TV streaming devices from 2019 onward. It will be available standalone for $14.99 and starts shipping late October.
Amazon also plans to launch a Plus version of the new remote early next year, featuring an aluminum design, backlit buttons, and a Find My Remote feature.
On the software side, Fire TV is getting updates including an Alexa Plus Hub and Alexa Plus integration in the Fire TV mobile app. Amazon Music is also getting a new Fire TV app later this fall with Alexa Plus integration.
