What’s happened? Amazon’s Fire TV lineup just grew with the addition of four new entries. Amazon says these new entries are ideal for all, with an option for every price point. One key addition for these new devices is the inclusion of Alexa+, Amazon’s in-house AI model.
- The new products are the Fire TV Omni QLED (50″-75″), Fire TV 2-Series (32″-55″), Fire TV 4-Series (32″-55″), and Fire TV Stick 4K Select.
- The Fire TV Omni QLED, 2-Series, and 4-Series have a sleek new design.
- Omnisense technology is available on all new TV sets.
- The Fire TV Stick 4K Select doesn’t come with support for Alexa+ out of the box.
Why is this important? Aside from adding AI support to these new entries, there are also some significant performance upgrades that each brings to the table.
- In comparison with its predecessor, the Omni QLED Series offers a 60% brighter display and a faster processor.
- The Fire TV 2-Series and 4-Series both come with HD screens with ultra-thin metal bezels.
- Users can expect 30% performance improvement on the Fire TV 2-Series and 4-Series thanks to the new quad-core processor.
- For more budget-friendly shopping, the Fire TV Stick 4K Select offers HDR 10+ support, a new operating system called Vega, and better performance.

From pricing to screen size to performance, and even smart features, this new lineup tries to tick all boxes.
