FireStick is a computer that is based on Android. Like other Android devices, however, FireStick refuses to support Google Play Services. It takes advantage of the updated Android OS and supports Amazon Store.

The Fire TV Stick contains all of your content and is completely portable. Only remove your device and take it with you while you’re traveling.

If you are a member of Amazon Prime, your Fire TV Stick will be pre-registered into your account. As soon as you plug your Fire TV Stick into your HDMI port, you get immediate access to all of your Amazon Prime content. Being a Prime member also lets you pick from an Amazon Originals archive which the average user cannot reach.

Once you open your Amazon box, you’ll have everything you need to get the Amazon Fire TV Stick running. You’ll find your new Fire TV Stick in the pack, the remote, a USB cable and power adapter, an HDMI extender, 2 AAA batteries, and a start guide.

The additional features of Amazon Firestick TV are as follows:

Amazon Fire TV Stick is a tool for streaming videos. They can carry entertainment to your home easily which has made it so famous.

• You can get streaming apps from the Amazon Store or third-party sideload devices.

• Amazon Firestick can get you Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime and you want almost everything.

• You can download games and enjoy them on FireStick, too. Many games, however, need the game controller for the Amazon Fire TV. Separately it’s available on Amazon. Frankly, it is not known for its gaming skills.

Alexa, the voice-controlled AI is one of FireStick and Fire TV’s greatest draws. Alexa’s going to do a lot for you. Simply press the mic button on the remote and ask Alexa to open apps, send the weather forecast, locate nearby sushi restaurants, or even tell a joke.

Alexa can also monitor your smart devices and appliances while you are using the Fire TV Cube.

Pros and Cons of the Amazon Firestick

Amazon Firestick can be the best gadget you own. But a closer look at its pros and cons is necessary to decide better before buying.

Pros

The services it provides are free. The micro-console, the Firestick, will still have to be purchased but you don’t have to pay a monthly fee to use it. You will also have to pay for your services, such as Netflix, Hulu, NBA League Pass, etc., but the Firestick itself is not a paid service. You only have to invest once while buying the device.

It is very easy to install and set up. It does not take more than 10 mins to set everything including the wi-fi connection.

The VPN setup is incredibly simple. Not only does a VPN add an extra layer of protection to your computer, but if your internet provider is known to slow your internet it can also improve streaming speeds. Finally, whether you are traveling or want to view Netflix from another country, for example, it will allow you to access content outside of your geographical area.

When you’re a regular Amazon user it’s great too. You can conveniently connect your Amazon account to the Firestick and enjoy Amazon Prime videos and need not worry about entering payment details anytime you wish to make a purchase. It connects directly to your account. You might not get the same ease as saying “Alex, order me 500 AA batteries,” but with your Firestick, this is possible.

Now you can buy Firesticks with 4 K capabilities and power increase. Several reviewers have reported that they believe the Firestick is the best out there streaming tool. 

Cons

Firestick is somewhat limited in scope. The Google Chromecast, for example, is a portable gadget that you can plugin and stream to your TV in minutes. You can stream anything to Chromecast from your laptop, tablet, or phone without having to sign in and install different apps.

You don’t need a Firestick at all. If you already have a Smart TV, internet-connected DVD player, or game console, there may not be that much point in buying one unless you want the video content from Amazon. This is completely up to the consumer.

The Firestick does make searching and finding the information you’re looking for a little more difficult. The UI (user interface) is kind of clunky and is not easy to scan and display. You may need to use voice recognition and we all know that’s not always reliable.

Ultimately, because Amazon is such a multinational behemoth, they also force their willingness to sell just a little bit more to you. When you’re not a member of Amazon Prime, expect it to be recalled regularly. Not just through the Firestick but also through your telephone. This may be a great boost for any clients out there.

How Does Amazon Firestick Work?

FireStick is an easy-to-use streaming device. I used almost all of the streaming apps including Roku, Chromecast, and Android TV Boxes.  I would claim confidently that it has the most user-friendly interface. It’s very easy to use.

Let’s explore step by step how the Amazon Firestick works

Getting started with Firestick

When you are removing FireStick from the box, here are a few things you need to do first:

• Plug the batteries into a remote control
• You plug FireStick into your TV’s HDMI slot. You can also use the HDMI extender which comes with the system
• Turn your TV on and pick the HDMI port as the link you’ve plugged into your FireStick
• Link FireStick to the electric source
• Wait for FireStick to power on

When you are using the Amazon Firestick TV for the first time, you will need to configure the system.

The setup process is straightforward. In our comprehensive guide, we received a full set of instructions: How to set up Amazon FireStick?

You’ll be required to follow these steps to set up Firestick TV:

• If you have a Prime membership account with Amazon, I suggest you sign in with the same account. There’s an immense range of Prime material you’d not want to miss.
