If you don't care about the "hands-free" voice control provided by the Fire TV Cube, then this "Max" version of the Amazon stick is the ideal alternative. Beneath its air of an ordinary key, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max has good audio and video capabilities, similar to what the Fire TV Cube offers, the difference on this point being the performance, which is logically lower on the stick.

The e-commerce giant's dongle thus stands out by authorizing the distribution of content in 4K HDR, with support for HDR 10 / HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. On the audio side, we are entitled to Dolby Atmos support for total immersion in compatible programs.

The big news with the Max model is nevertheless the presence of Wi-Fi 6. It promises better speeds, which is crucial when it comes to broadcasting content that consumes network resources. To take full advantage of it, however, you must have an internet box or a Wi-Fi 6 router. The Ethernet connector is still not supplied with the stick, but it is possible to buy it separately.
