Amazon has launched a refresh to its Fire TV Stick that is 50% more powerful than the original one. The new 3rd-gen Fire TV Stick is accompanied by a cheaper Fire TV Stick Lite. Let’s check out the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Amazon Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite in Nepal.

Fire TV Stick (2020) Overview

Here, the 3rd-Gen Amazon Fire TV Stick features a quad-core processor with a clock speed of up to 1.7GHz. The graphics are handled by IMG GE8300 GPU. With the upgraded internals, Amazon is claiming it to be up to 50% more powerful than its predecessor. It can connect to your high-definition TV through an HDMI connection. Amazon recommends using an HDMI extender for the best Wi-Fi reception. The Fire TV Stick supports dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. Amazon has adopted dual-antenna Wi-Fi (MIMO) for better stability. Similarly, it can connect to your headphones, speaker, and other Bluetooth devices as it supports Bluetooth 5.0 and LE. In terms of output, it is still limited to FHD streaming. So, if you need to stream 4k contents, you'll need to get the 2018’s Fire Stick 4K that costs $10 more. The 4K version also has Dolby Vision support that the new Fire TV Stick lacks. It supports HDR, HDR 10, HDR10+, and HLG formats. Amazon has also improved the sound quality with Dolby Atmos. It will provide an immersive experience while watching compatible content.
