It supports many more games because it has that extra power on tap – the likes of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, Asphalt 8 and many others simply don’t work on the dual-core Fire TV stick, even if you sideload them.
However, if you’ve not yet bought a Fire TV device and want to play games, you’re better off with the box version. The “all-new” 2017 Fire Stick has a much more powerful processor and is absolutely fine for streaming TV shows and films. Finally, it can output in 4K where the Stick’s max resolution is 1080p. It also has more connections, with an Ethernet port, optical audio output and a USB. The Fire TV Box is a lot more powerful, with a 64-bit MediaTek 8173C CPU that has two Cortex-A72 cores and two Cortex-A53 cores – equivalent to the power of a very good mid-range phone. It’s fine if you want a cheap media machine, but it is no console-replacer. You’ll see some slow-down in 3D games at times with the Stick, for example, as it uses a remedial dual-core CPU. While the Fire TV box may be twice the price, it’s a lot more powerful and has access to more games as a result. Fire TV vs Fire TV Stick – choosing the right device for youįirst of all, let’s explain the key differences between the Fire TV box and its more affordable sibling, the Fire TV Stick.

There’s more to these ultra-accessible gadgets than you’ll appreciate when you first take off the cellophane and jam in the remote’s AAA batteries, though.

Its lack of AirPlay or Google Cast support is harder to swallow at this price, too. The Cube runs the same OS as any other Fire TV streamer, so it can be hard to justify over devices with less ad-heavy UIs like the Apple TV 4K. (This passthrough is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, though.) It also supports WiFi 6E. The latter means you can run a game console or cable box through the Cube yet still see an Alexa overlay whenever you call on the assistant. This is the most powerful Fire TV device by a comfortable margin, and because it’s a box instead of a stick, it has a host of ports, including an Ethernet jack and an HDMI input. That’s $30 below Amazon’s list price and a new all-time low. The Fire TV Cube blends a 4K media streamer with a hands-free Alexa speaker, and right now it’s down to $110 for Prime Day.
