Quick verdict: The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is Amazon's middle 4K streaming stick. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, connects over Wi-Fi 6, and comes with an Alexa Voice Remote that can control your TV's power and volume. For most people with a 4K TV and an Amazon account, it is the Fire TV stick to pick.
This is a researched review based on Amazon's listing and specifications and on published reviews, not our own testing. On the evening of November 10, 2026, it ranked No. 6 on Amazon's Best Sellers list in Electronics.
A new name for a familiar stick
If the name sounds new, that's because it is. TechRadar reported that Amazon renamed the Fire TV Stick 4K to Fire TV Stick 4K Plus after launching the cheaper Fire TV Stick 4K Select in 2025, and said the hardware is the same as before. The specs on the current Amazon listing line up with that: a quad-core 1.7GHz processor, 8GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
PCMag, which reviewed this hardware when it launched in 2023, said the Wi-Fi 6, faster processor and 2GB of memory made browsing and loading apps more responsive, and gave it an Editors' Choice award.
Plus vs. Select
This is the comparison that matters if you are buying a Fire TV stick now. TechRadar's comparison shows the 4K Plus has 2GB of memory and Wi-Fi 6, while the 4K Select has 1GB and Wi-Fi 5. The Plus also supports both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and the Select doesn't.
Tom's Guide tested the 4K Select and liked its picture, but said it misses those premium formats. It also said the Select runs Amazon's new Vega OS, which it called still in its infancy, and that some apps are delivered from the cloud. If your TV supports Dolby Vision or you use a soundbar with Atmos, the Plus is the safer choice.
Above the Plus sits the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. TechRadar lists Wi-Fi 6E, 16GB of storage and Amazon's Ambient Experience, which shows pictures and videos while the TV is in standby, as the extras. Most viewers won't need them.
Features and fine print
The listing highlights Amazon's redesigned Fire TV home screen and recommendations from Alexa+, Amazon's newer AI assistant. It also lists cloud gaming through Xbox Game Pass and Amazon Luna. Those services require their own subscriptions, and Xbox Game Pass also requires a compatible controller, sold separately.
Many apps, including Netflix, Disney+ and HBO Max, need their own subscriptions too, though the listing points to free ad-supported apps such as Tubi and Pluto TV.
In the box, Amazon includes the Alexa Voice Remote, a power cable and power adapter, an HDMI extender cable and two AAA batteries for the remote.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you have a 4K TV and want Dolby Vision, Atmos and solid Wi-Fi without paying for the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Skip it if your TV is 1080p, where a basic HD stick will do, or if you prefer a home screen that isn't built around Amazon's own services.
