Fast performance, Lots of apps and services, Amazon Alexa voice control, Wi-Fi 6
4K HDR media streaming can't really take advantage of Wi-Fi 6, No Apple AirPlay or Google Cast
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is an excellent media streamer that adds Wi-Fi 6 compatibility for just $5 more than the standard model, but you probably won't see a difference outside of very specific use cases...
Pros, Alexa on board, 4K HDR support, Simple setup, All the key apps
Cons, Favours Amazon apps, Old-style microUSB port, No casting option, Not a huge upgrade
If you've used previous Amazon Fire TV devices then you know exactly what to expect from the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max – it's just all a little bit slicker and a little bit faster. The device remains a bit Amazon-centric, like all the Fire TV hardware b...
Abstract: The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) is the flagship model in the company's line of streaming sticks, only slightly outshone by the non-stick Fire TV Cube (which just adds hands-free voice support and extra ports). In fact, it might be among the best st...

Wi-Fi 6 compatible, Alexa voice remote, Complete HDR support
Requires mains power

4K HDR streaming, Access to Amazon Luna, Dolby Vision / Atmos / HDR10+, Voice remote with Alexa
Too many sponsored ads, Homescreen previews are low-res, Search still could be better, Luna can be unstable
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max caters mostly to Amazon Prime members and Alexa-based smart home owners, but it's still an undeniably powerful device at an affordable price. We don't love how Amazon's implemented ads on the home page and have issues with...
Great performance, All popular streaming services, Alexa, Wi-Fi 6
Prominent home screen adverts, PiP only works with Ring doorbells
You could argue that the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is only worth buying if you need the specific features it offers over the older 4K version. But you're not really saving much money and the extra performance is well worth having even if you don't care about...
