Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K Select, usually priced at £49.99, has been reduced to £28.99 in a limited-time sale. However, shoppers can secure the device for just £13.36 by combining the sale price with a cashback offer from TopCashback. New members of the deals site who spend £15 or more receive a £15 sign-up bonus, effectively bringing the cost down to less than £14 after cashback is applied.
Summer TV viewing enhanced
The summer TV schedule is packed with high-profile sports finals and new series on platforms like HBO, Disney+, Prime Video, and DAZN, including returning favourites such as House of the Dragon and Reacher, as well as the Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga fight. The Fire TV Stick 4K Select enhances the viewing experience by improving picture quality and making streaming apps more responsive, offering a cost-effective alternative to buying a new smart TV.
According to the Mirror, opting for a smart TV upgrade like the Sky Glass TV, which costs from £309 plus a £15 per month subscription for a minimum of 24 months, totals over £660. In contrast, the Fire TV Stick provides similar smart features at a fraction of the cost.
Features and user feedback
The plug-in device brings apps such as ITVX, Prime Video, and BBC iPlayer to the forefront of the home screen, includes voice assist via Alexa, and can control synced smart devices. It also helps find live programmes faster and enhances standard TV quality.
User reviews highlight the device's performance. One customer stated: "The 4K quality is outstanding. The colours are vivid, and streaming is seamless with no buffering. The Alexa voice remote is a great bonus, making it easy to search for shows or control playback hands-free." Another noted: "Popular apps like Netflix and Sky Sports channels via NOW are easy to find."
However, some users expressed disappointment that the device uses a micro-USB port instead of USB-C. Despite this, one review concluded: "For streaming apps, I can't fault it; the interface and remote are snappy, and it does everything I want."
Alternative streaming options
For those considering other devices, the Roku HD Streaming Stick is available for £29.99 from Argos. It supports Apple AirPlay, allowing iPhone users to cast content directly without additional apps or subscriptions.
