Amazon and Best Buy have slashed the cost of the freshly announced Fire TV Stick 4K, offering the device for just $29.99—down from its regular $59.99 price tag. The most significant change is that the stick no longer needs a separate power adapter; it can run entirely from the USB port on a TV. It still delivers 4K video at up to 60 fps and includes HDR10+ for richer contrast, though it does not support side‑loading of apps like some earlier versions.
The hardware ships with the Fire TV OS update released earlier this year, which brings a refreshed user interface, tighter Alexa Plus integration, and a number of enhancements to the companion mobile app. The included remote has been redesigned with an asymmetrical shape, a rounded bottom and buttons that feel more tactile. For wireless connectivity, the stick supports Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi‑Fi 6.
