The 4K streaming device is even better than its top-notch predecessor, building upon it with faster performance, Wi-Fi 6E support, and double the storage (16GB). At the same time, it continues to deliver an excellent viewing experience thanks to support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and HDR 10 Plus. On top of that, the device retains deep integration with Amazon Alexa, letting you make precise commands like “Alexa, turn to ESPN on Sling TV” using the included Alexa Voice Remote. What makes the Fire TV Stick 4K Max even more interesting is that it’s more than just a streaming device. The Max lets you turn your screen into a smart display, letting you control compatible smart home devices and quick glance at reminders, your calendar, weather updates, and more. It even lets you turn your screen into a piece of home decor, one that showcases over 2,000 works of fine art, family photos, or even custom AI-generated images created through Alexa.
