Both offer a compact form factor and can stream your favorite movies in beautiful 4K HDR.
The Roku Streaming Stick 4K matches up almost perfectly with Amazon's offering. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is extremely difficult to beat for its price point.Īrguably, Amazon's biggest competition, for now at least, is Roku. It's only when you start trying to separate options by pricing tiers that things can get a bit hairy. No matter how you look at it, there are plenty of different options out there when looking for the best streaming devices.

But I assumed that if I ignored the inconvenience and put my most-used apps at the top of the page, I wouldn't have to wade through all of the ads so often.īut after turning it on one morning, the entire home screen was completely reset, with my "favorite" apps automatically removed from my favorite list. Moving apps around is clunky, but that's to be expected when using a physical remote. It's completely unnecessary and just ruins the experience, and ultimately it has made me look into investing elsewhere for a home streaming solution.Īmazon's obnoxious use of ads ruins an otherwise stellar streaming experience.Īnother irritation that happened on more than one occasion came when I actually took the time to organize my Fire TV home screen. Something that has completely driven my experience into the ground has been when I already rent content through Prime, only for me to see ads to rent the SAME movie again later on. But the upgrades that Amazon made to the Fire TV Stick 4K Max feel like they were only made to make it easier for those ads to appear on your home screen. It really should come as no surprise when picking up any of the best streaming devices that you'll have to deal with ads. (Image credit: Chris Wedel/Android Central)
