At $35, though, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is difficult to top in terms of sheer value for money. You'll also want to look elsewhere if you're heavily invested in a non-Amazon platform - the Apple TV 4K and Google Chromecast are better (if often more expensive) choices for their respective brands' devotees. The 8GB of storage won't be practical for on-device games, and you'll miss out on Fire TV Cube perks like hands-free voice and home theater device integration. You can use the voice-capable remote to control your smart home, and you can even get a live view of your video doorbell while you're watching the big game.

Not surprisingly, it's also well-integrated with Amazon's Alexa ecosystem. You can expect access to many apps and services, including sports providers like ESPN. It can handle 4K HDR in multiple formats (including Dolby Vision and HDR10+) with Dolby Atmos surround, and it's speedy enough for cloud gaming. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is still one of the more powerful streaming dongles you can buy.
