According to one reviewer, the Fire TV Stick 4K is "faster and better" than previous Fire TV sticks. The new hardware makes the device the "best Fire Stick yet," they write. Adding, it's "much better" than the 1080p version while only being "a few dollars more."
The 4K version of the Fire Stick is "blazingly fast" versus the 1080p Stick, echos another shopper. Adding that you can "really notice the huge performance difference" between the two — upgrading is a "no-brainer."

It "works better" and is "more user-friendly" than any other streaming device, enthuses one shopper. It's "absolutely seamless" and "perfect for streaming."

The 8 GB of storage is "useless," critiques one reviewer.
