If you want to make your TV smart, you currently have plenty of alternatives, although the two main ones are from Google and Amazon. In the second case, we have several options, and Amazon itself has realized that sometimes we do not necessarily see series in the living room.
In this context, it is necessary to understand the large number of launches that Amazon has presented today based on the Fire TV platform, starting with a new Fire TV Cube, which has already reached the third generation.
New Fire TV Cube
Although getting Fire TV is as easy as buying an HDMI adapter, but if we really want the full potential, a device like this is what we need. The new Fire TV Cube comes with a 2.0 GHz octa-core processor, which is 20% more powerful than the previous generation.
This power will allow for a noticeable improvement across the board, and Amazon promises the smoothest experience yet. Added to this is support for technologies such as Wi-Fi 6E for better data transfer, which is necessary when we use high resolutions such as 4K, with which this device is compatible; it even has super resolution upscaling, a technology that scales the resolution of videos up to the TV’s native resolution.
As for the ports, the presence of an HDMI input port is striking, in addition to the output port, and an additional USB port designed to connect a webcam and thus be able to make video calls on the TV to using Alexa.
The Amazon Fire TV Cube will be available for 159.99 dollars and can already be reserved via Amazon.
New Alexa Pro Voice Remote
Although Fire TVs come with a controller, we still have the premium option of buying the Pro Controller separately, and it may be worth it both for the size (which translates to more buttons) and the additional features.
The most curious is the one that allows us to find the remote simply by asking Alexa or pressing the button in the Fire TV app. The speaker built into the remote control will ring and allow us to find it, thus eliminating one of the classic inconveniences of remote controls.
The Alexa Pro voice remote will be available for 39.99 dollars and can be reserved on Amazon.
Fire TV on the Echo Show 15
Amazon was surprised when they realized how many people were using the Echo Show display speakers to watch media, so the next announcement is more understandable: the launch of Fire TV for Amazon Echo Show 15.
The truth is that it makes sense, since this device with a large screen is ideal for the kitchen, where it is common to watch videos of all kinds. The update will be completely free and will allow us to access Fire TV content on the Echo Show 15.
