My old Google TV’s running on fumes, so the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max hitting its lowest ever price for Prime Day is a no-brainer

My Google TV is getting on in years and seems to run slower every day. Thankfully, the perfect replacement is available for its lowest-ever price for Prime Day: the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is down to £39.99 (was £69.99) at Amazon UK. That’s a huge 43% saving.

If you’re in the US, you don’t have to feel left out. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max has dropped to $39.99 (was $59.99) at Amazon US. That’s not the cheapest we’ve seen it (it’s hit $32.99) before, but that’s still a 33% saving and one of the lowest prices you’ll find all year.

Amazon Prime Day is finishing at midnight wherever you are in the world, so now is your best chance to get the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for cheap. This is the most advanced version of Amazon’s Fire TV Stick, with 4K resolution, Dolby Vision support, and Wi-Fi 6 for faster performance.

I currently have a 2021 Philips OLED TV at home, and it’s safe to say the Google TV software is not aging well. With frequent crashes, getting kicked out of streaming apps, vanishing streaming services, and sloth-esque speeds at times, it really is struggling.

Thankfully, Prime Day has arrived just in time, and I can now grab the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for a brilliant price, and as I’m in the UK, it’s a record-low deal!

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the most complete version within the Fire TV Stick lineup. It supports 4K streaming, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ used on some of the best streaming services such as Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney Plus, and comes with Wi-Fi 6 built in for faster operation and smooth navigation.

We awarded the Fire TV Stick 4K Max 4.5 stars out of 5 in our review, noting that “it’s very speedy” and were surprised “how quick it was for a streaming stick”: the opposite of my Google TV! The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the only stick in the lineup that comes with the Ambient Experience as well, a useful feature if you’re looking for something more exciting than a floating logo on screen when your TV goes into screensaver mode.
