## What reviewers say

Four whitelisted outlets (Tom's Guide, PCWorld, TechRadar, What Hi-Fi) hands-on reviewed this exact 2nd-gen model. All four praise the snappy performance and/or sharp 4K HDR picture at a low price, and all four flag the ad-heavy, Amazon/Prime-centric Fire TV interface. Three of the four also criticize the dated micro-USB power port (Tom's Guide only notes it descriptively), and two flag that the bulky stick can block an adjacent HDMI port. Tom's Guide and PCWorld both call the upgrade over the prior-gen 4K Max only marginal. (Based on 4 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2023-09-27–2025-06-10.)

Praised: Fast, zippy performance and snappy menu/app navigation; Strong value: full 4K HDR (Dolby Vision/HDR10+) streaming at a low price; 16GB storage, double the cheaper Fire sticks, with room for apps; Sharp, detailed picture with all HDR formats supported.
Flagged: Ad-heavy, Amazon/Prime-centric Fire TV interface; Dated micro-USB power port instead of USB-C; Only a marginal upgrade over the previous-gen 4K Max; Bulky stick can block adjacent HDMI ports (extender needed).
Disagreement: Overall recommendation splits largely on review timing and competition. Tom's Guide (Sept 2023) put a 'hold' on it, preferring the cheaper Roku Streaming Stick 4K or Chromecast with Google TV; What Hi-Fi (June 2025) named it a What Hi-Fi? Awards 2025 winner and 'the easiest no-brainer buy,' explicitly because Google discontinued the Chromecast and replaced it with the pricier, not-quite-as-good Google TV Streamer.
