Amazon launches Fire TV Stick 4K Select

At its recent hardware event Amazon introduced the Fire TV Stick 4K Select — a lower-cost 4K streaming stick that expands the company’s Fire TV lineup. Key points:

• Price: €54.99 (pre-orders open; shipping starts mid‑October)
• Operating System: Runs Amazon’s new Vega OS (a move away from Android)
• Performance: Promises faster app loading and responsive playback
• Video: Supports 4K and Amazon lists HDR10+ playback

Early reporting indicates the device is positioned as an affordable 4K option. Some third‑party coverage notes the new Vega OS may limit traditional Android app side‑loading and that advanced features like Dolby Vision or Wi‑Fi 6 may not be included on this model — Amazon markets it as a cost‑effective solution rather than a flagship device.
