What else is new in the Amazon Fire TV Stick 2?
On the outside, it seems as if nothing changed, but the new device truly packs a punch. Besides having voice recognition capabilities, it has a very capable hardware to offer a good media experience. A Quad-Core processor, dedicated Mali 450 GPU and 1GB RAM will make your media play smooth on this device. Internet connectivity comes via Wi-Fi, as well as optional Ethernet interface.
All in all, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 2 is a better device than its predecessor. For only $39.99 you could pre-order this device and have it by October 20th, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 2 release date. Even though this device is still a 1080p TV stick, which means it does not support 4k, it does decode h.265 HEVC natively, which makes it an interesting device. Preorder yours now and stay tuned for a full review when it's released!
