Even if you aren't already deep in Amazon's device ecosystem, this is an excellent starting point to go hands-free with your home theater and begin using smart home devices. Like the Fire TV Stick 4K, this is best for dedicated Amazon users. If you don't already have a smart speaker in your living room, it's a fantastic way to add voice control to your viewing experience. It's effectively an Echo speaker and a Fire TV Stick 4K mashed into one device. The Fire TV Cube lets you use Alexa hands-free, which is much more convenient than picking up the remote, holding the voice button, and speaking into it.

It has one big advantage over the Fire TV Stick 4K that helps justify its twice-as-expensive price compared with the stick: its far-field microphones. The Amazon Fire TV Cube is aging a bit but, even at three years old, it's the most powerful Fire TV media streamer available. If you haven't committed to a voice assistant or smart home ecosystem yet, you can try both out with the Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant apps.

Who It's Forĭedicated Android users who use Google Assistant will get the most out of the Chromecast with Google TV. It's a lot of media for a little back-of-the-TV dongle. Besides that, it hits all of the same big streaming names and shows 4K content in HDR10 or Dolby Vision.

Fire TV supports only WiDi/Miracast and Google Cast is much easier to use for Android users (iPhone and iPad users should consider a Roku device with Apple AirPlay 2 support instead).

The big difference is it uses Google Assistant instead of Amazon Alexa, as well as supports Google Cast streaming from your Android phone or Chrome tab. Google TV is Google's take on the media-streaming and smart TV platform, and it's every bit as polished and feature-filled as Fire TV, if not more so. This is the other excellent $50 media hub to consider. And if you have a Ring security camera or video doorbell, you can bring up its feed on your TV through the stick. If you already have an Echo and use Alexa to control your lights, a Fire TV media hub carries that flexibility over into the remote. Prime Video offers tons of content and the Fire TV interface sorts through it quite nicely (as well as aggregating many other, non-Amazon services). This is the media streamer to get if you subscribe to Amazon Prime and use Alexa-compatible smart devices at home. It streams at ultra high-definition (4K) resolution with support for high dynamic range ( HDR) content in both HDR10 and Dolby Vision, plus covers all major streaming services, including Crunchyroll and Twitch. The Amazon streaming stick is loaded with features, including the Amazon Alexa voice assistant (you can talk directly into the remote or pair the device with an Echo smart speaker for hands-free voice control). The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is one of two competing media streamers that offer incredible value for just $50.
