That being said, in-app performance will be a dependent on the app itself and more often than not, simply updating it helps. Switching between apps seems faster and so does the scrolling through the interface. Everything feels snappier even though the 2nd generation Fire TV Stick was no slouch and continues to run smoothly even after years of honest service streaming content to our TV. The new Fire TV Stick runs a MediaTek quad-core processor clocking at 1.7 GHz, 1 GB RAM, PowerVR GE8300 graphics for audio and video processing as well as 8 GB internal storage for apps.

At the very top of the screen are the broader categories, for movies, TV shows, Apps and Settings. Amazon hasn’t overhauled the interface, which means if you have ever used a Fire TV Stick in the past, you’ll get the hang of this almost instantly. There is a lot that is happening on the home screen, but it doesn’t feel cluttered or overwhelming.

There is just something about the Amazon Fire OS which makes it almost immediately likeable, even after so many years of being consistently similar. The home screens are laid out in such a way that you need to scroll vertically to browse the content on the different rows and horizontally to select apps or pieces of recommended content. You sign in with your Amazon account (if you purchase this on Amazon.in, it’ll come with your credentials preloaded). The design of the Fire TV Stick and the Alexa Voice Remote remains pretty much the same as before. It is also better to power the Fire TV Stick directly from the mains and not use a USB port on the TV itself. Plug this into the HDMI port on your TV-you may have to use the HDMI extender because the port may be placed where the Fire TV Stick cannot connect directly. The More Things Change, The More They Remain The Same
