Which features make Amazon’s Fire TV Stick popular?
Let’s have a quick look at some of Amazon Fire TV Stick’s popular features:
Cost and marketing: The first factor is obviously cost. Amazon’s Fire TV Stick is a small fraction of the price of a really versatile smart TV. OTT channels boomed during the lockdown. Many people who could not buy a smart TV but wanted one, opted for the Fire Stick. Given that most of them were searching for inexpensive ones on Amazon, the company’s own Fire Stick’s publicity made it prominent among search results.
Ease of use: The Amazon Fire Stick measures about three-and-a-half inches in length and just over an inch in width. It’s a plug and play device like pen drives, only it has to be inserted in an HDMI and not the USB port.
Number of channels available: Content from all over the web, including Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu or even live TV channels (if subscribed) can be viewed. It’s also Alexa compatible.
Improving sound and picture: Depending on your current television setup, Fire TV Stick can actually improve the quality of sound and picture. That’s because Fire TV Stick 4K can handle 4K HDR as well as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
