Amazon’s new Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a media streamer that looks nearly identical to the 2018 Fire TV Stick 4K, but the new model has a faster processor, higher-performance graphics, and more RAM. It’s also the first Fire TV device to support WiFi 6.
Add up those upgrades and Amazon says its newest media streamer delivers a 40% performance boost. First unveiled in September, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is now available for purchase for $55.
That’s just $5 more than the list price for the Fire TV Stick 4K, which seems like a pretty good deal for a model that launches apps more quickly, brings improved graphics, and adds support for features like Amazon’s Live View Picture-in-Picture (which lets you view video from supported security cameras in a picture-in-picture window, something that had previously only been available on the pricier Amazon Fire TV Cube).
But Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K has been on sale at discounted prices since Amazon announced the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Right now you can pick up the older model for $33 if you don’t need the new features.
Measuring just 3.9″ x 1.2″ x 0.6″, the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max is exactly the same size as the previous-gen model, but it has 25% more RAM and a MediaTek MT8696 processor rather than an MT8695 chip.
Here’s a run-down of key specs for the two most powerful members of the Amazon Fire TV Stick family:
| Fire TV Stick 4K (2018) | Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2021) | |
| Audio & Video | 4K @ 60 fps HDR10+ Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos |
4K @ 60 fps HDR10+ Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos |
| CPU | MT8695 1.7 GHz quad-core 32-bit (software limitation) |
MT8696 1.8 GHz quad-core 32-bit (software limitation) |
| GPU | IMG GE8300 (650 MHz) | IMG GE9215 (750 MHz) |
| RAM | 1.5 GB DDR4 | 2GB DDR4 |
| Storage | 8GB | 8GB |
| WiFi | WiFi 5 2 x 2 MIMO |
WiFi 6 2 x 2 MIMO |

Amazon on Thursday announced its first self-branded smart TVs and a new 4K streaming media player called the Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
The tech giant has previously partnered with Best Buy to sell various Toshiba and Insignia TVs that run Amazon’s Fire TV operating system. It has also launched TVs in India under its AmazonBasics brand.
Today, though, the company is unveiling two new TV lines of its own: a flagship Omni Series and a slightly more budget-friendly 4-Series. The announcement confirms a report from Insider last week.

Paying subscribers can now spin up “Luna Cloud” sessions—friends join for free.

It has been a while since we've heard anything major from Luna, Amazon's game-streaming service that largely resembles Google Stadia, Xbox Game Streaming, and other cloud-based ways to stream video games from a server farm to your screen of choice. Today, Amazon breaks its recent streaming silence with a few new ways to get more players into Luna for less money.
The first move involves Amazon's massive Prime service, which is finally becoming an instant, free-with-your-subscription way to stream Luna games. Starting right now, paying Prime members can either load Luna's website or install the Luna app on any compatible device, sync a compatible gamepad, and play the entirety of four very solid video games: Resident Evil 7, Metro Exodus, Katamari Damacy Reroll, and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom.
This access doesn't require signing up for a Luna free trial, and it doesn't pause any of these games after an arbitrary limit of hours or in-game progress. But there is a catch: the Prime access to these four games runs out in seven days, on September 15—at which point anyone who wants to keep playing those four games can formally sign up for the "Luna+" tier for $5.99/month (with a free seven-day trial, if you haven't claimed one of those yet). Before September 15, at least, no formal Luna sign-up is required.
