▼ Summary

– Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Fire TV Stick 4K Plus are both on sale for their lowest prices, at $34.99 and $24.99 respectively.
– The Fire TV Stick 4K Max has 16GB storage and Wi-Fi 6E, while the 4K Plus has 8GB storage and Wi-Fi 6.
– Only the 4K Max supports the Fire TV Ambient Experience, which can turn a TV into a smart display.

There’s no shortage of great shows and movies to stream, but actually finding something worth watching can be a chore. Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Plus and Fire TV Stick 4K Max aim to solve that problem with redesigned software that surfaces personalized recommendations more intelligently, and both 4K-ready streaming sticks are now available at their lowest prices ever.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Amazon’s fastest and most feature-rich streaming stick, is down to $34.99 (a $25 savings) at Best Buy and Target. Meanwhile, the slightly less powerful Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is available for $24.99 (also $25 off) at the same retailers.

What sets the 4K Max apart? It boasts double the internal storage (16GB) and supports Wi-Fi 6E, compared to the Wi-Fi 6 in the Plus model. It is also the only stick in the lineup that enables the Fire TV Ambient Experience, which transforms your TV into a smart display when idle, showing artwork, your calendar, sticky notes, and other Alexa widgets.

Beyond those differences, the two sticks share many core features. Both support Dolby Vision, HDR10 Plus, and Dolby Atmos audio (provided your sound system is compatible). They run Amazon’s updated Fire TV interface, which aggregates recommendations from all your streaming subscriptions, organizes content into dedicated hubs for TV shows and sports, and lets you pin up to 20 favorite apps for quick access.

Voice control is another strong point. Both sticks offer deep Alexa Plus integration, letting you launch content from specific services or search for exact scenes using only your voice. You can also use Alexa to control compatible smart home devices or pull up a live feed from your connected Ring cameras directly on your TV screen.
