Verdict: The Fire TV stick to get for a 4K TV if you want the fastest menus and the best Wi-Fi. If your router doesn’t do Wi-Fi 6E and you don’t need the extra speed, the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is enough.
Good for
- 4K TVs with Dolby Vision or HDR10+, and soundbars with Dolby Atmos
- Fast, smooth menus: 2.0 GHz quad-core processor and 2GB RAM
- Crowded Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6E support on compatible routers
- Installing lots of apps: 16GB of storage
Skip it if
- Your TV is HD only; the Fire TV Stick HD is enough
- You’re in Apple or Google’s ecosystem and want AirPlay-first or Google TV devices
