GoKawiilAmazon streamlines Fire TV Stick lineup with new $60 4K model
Amazon has launched a new Fire TV Stick 4K priced at $60, replacing both the previous 4K Select and 4K Plus models. It supports HDR10 and HDR10 Plus, includes 8GB storage, a quad-core 1.7GHz processor, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, and ships with a redesigned remote that drops the dedicated Alexa button in favor of a home button. Amazon also said a premium remote with backlighting and a find-my-remote feature is coming in 2027.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Consolidating multiple Fire TV Stick tiers into one model suggests Amazon is trying to simplify consumer choice and reduce confusion in its streaming device lineup. The remote redesign, which deemphasizes the Alexa button, could reflect a shift toward integrating voice features more subtly as Amazon pushes its Alexa Plus assistant and app-based content features like turning articles into watch lists.

- Device supports HDR10, HDR10 Plus, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and can be powered via a TV's USB port.
