One of the best alternatives to Google Chromecast is updating. With his new Fire TV Stick HD, Amazon simplifies its range of HDMI keys dedicated to streaming. This model, which replaces the Lite and classic versions of the Fire TV Stick, is aimed at users looking to transform their TV into a connected TV, without spending a fortune.
A new Fire TV Stick HD to replace two models
The Fire TV Stick HD, now available at 44.99 euros, modernizes Amazon’s range of streaming devices, replacing the Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite, both of which have been withdrawn from the market. This new model maintains a maximum resolution of 1080p. In addition to accessing the main streaming platforms, the device also offers the possibility of controlling connected devices in the home via Amazon’s voice assistant, such as security cameras or smart doorbells.
Compared to the Lite version of 2021, this Fire TV Stick HD (3rd generation) introduces a 1.7 GHz Quad-Core processor, HDR and ARC (Audio Return Channel) compatibility, making it easier to integrate with audio systems. A model that aims to make the streaming experience smoother for users of Full HD (or older) televisions, without requiring a significant investment.
One of the notable new features of this model is the full integration of Alexa into the remote control. Users can now manage power, volume, and navigation on streaming platforms simply by voice command.
Amazon still present on cheap streaming
With this launch, Amazon is reducing its lineup of streaming devices from five to four models: the Fire TV Stick HD, the Fire TV Stick 4K, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and the Fire TV Cube. A simplification that makes the range clearer, targeting distinct audiences, according to their needs in terms of resolution or performance.

This Fire TV Stick HD confirms Amazon’s desire to occupy the field of inexpensive HDMI keys dedicated to streaming. A segment that Google has just abandoned with its TV Streamer. For Amazon, this model is positioned as an ideal solution for users who have not yet upgraded to 4K, but who want to modernize the interface of their television for less than 45 euros.
