As well as the new Amazon Fire TV, Amazon is also offering their new Amazon Fire Game Controller in the UK. The TV device will set you back £79 and the game controller £34.99.
Features and Specifications
Amazon Fire TV is a tiny box that connects your HDTV to a world of online entertainment. With a huge selection of TV episodes and movies, voice search that actually works and ASAP – our exclusive instant streaming feature – it’s an easy way to enjoy Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, low-cost movie rentals, live and on-demand sports, music, photos, games and more.
The device comes with a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor from Qualcomm, ensuring smooth and efficient performance. The device also features an Adreno 320 GPU, which provides robust graphics capabilities, making it suitable for gaming and high-definition video playback. Additionally, it comes with 2GB of RAM, which helps in multitasking and running apps smoothly.
For storage, the Amazon Fire TV comes with 8GB built-in, which allows users to store apps, games, and some media content. However, for those who need more storage, it is worth noting that the device does not support expandable storage via SD cards. Connectivity options include WiFi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet, ensuring that users can connect to the internet and other devices with ease.
Entertainment and Gaming
One of the standout features of the Amazon Fire TV is its extensive library of content. Users can access a wide range of TV episodes and movies from popular streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and more. The voice search functionality is particularly impressive, allowing users to find content quickly and easily by simply speaking into the remote.
The ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction) feature is another highlight. This exclusive instant streaming feature predicts what you might want to watch and buffers it in advance, reducing the wait time for streaming content. This makes for a seamless viewing experience, especially for those who binge-watch series or frequently switch between different shows and movies.
In addition to video content, the Amazon Fire TV also supports live and on-demand sports, music streaming, and photo viewing. This makes it a versatile entertainment hub for the entire family.
For gamers, the Amazon Fire TV offers a decent selection of games that can be played using the Amazon Fire Game Controller. The controller is designed to provide a comfortable gaming experience and is priced at £34.99. While it may not replace a dedicated gaming console, it offers a good alternative for casual gamers who want to enjoy games on their TV without investing in additional hardware.
The device’s performance is further enhanced by its hardware specifications. The quad-core processor and Adreno GPU ensure that games run smoothly, and the 2GB of RAM allows for efficient multitasking. This makes the Amazon Fire TV a capable device for both entertainment and gaming.
