"Fire TV Stick 4K Max" was released from Amazon on October 7th. [See all images] New release of "Fire TV Stick 4K Max" with surprisingly light operation! There is a comparison with the old model [Today's life hack tool] Speaking of "Fire TV Stick", it is a stick type that allows you to use various video distribution services such as Amazon Prime Video just by inserting it into the HDMI terminal of the TV Terminal. My hobby is watching anime, and I watch about 2000 hours a year on "Fire TV Stick 4K" and "Fire TV Stick". This time, I, who is such a heavy user, would like to write my impressions comparing the second generation "Fire TV Stick" and "Fire TV Stick 4K" to the new model "Fire TV Stick 4K Max". .

Three changes

The change from the previous model "Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K" is that the CPU processing speed is compatible with Wi-Fi6, and the remote control has four apps. A button and a program guide button are three additional points.

I was surprised at the stress-free speed!

In terms of processing speed in particular, Amazon officially claims that it is "40% more powerful than Fire TV Stick 4K", and it feels like it's about 3 times faster. felt. In my environment, the router doesn't support it, so I shouldn't be able to receive the benefits of Wi-Fi6, but maybe the chip itself is faster than the conventional one. In addition to basic operations such as navigating menus, reading image thumbnails and setting screen operations are also much more agile than the previous model. Immediately after playback, the information is read sequentially to "HD", "1080p", and "ULTRA HD", and the resolution increases, but strangely, the reading speed here seems to be almost the same as the old model. did not.

App buttons are standard equipment

The four newly added app buttons and the program guide button on the remote control are unfortunately useless because I don't have many opportunities to use them myself. . The "Amazon Prime Video" button does the same thing as the home button, and I rarely listen to "Amazon music" through the poor speakers on my TV or soundbar. If you are a subscriber to Netflix or DAZN, it is a nice point that you can access it immediately with this button. Not having to go back to the home menu when going back and forth between multiple services is going to save a lot of time! I felt that it would be even more convenient if it could be assigned to other operations in future firmware updates.
