‘You’ll notice the speed difference’ advises Amazon Fire TV Stick owner who recommends upgrade you get for ‘a steal’

AN Amazon Fire TV Stick has revealed how to get a speed upgrade for “a steal.”

The only catch is you’ll have to be patient if you want to make a saving and also upgrade.

The tip was revealed on the popular Reddit forum r/fireTV.

It was posted in response to a Reddit user asking about the differences between all the Fire TV Stick models.

The user was wondering whether they should get a cheaper model or invest in a big upgrade.

“I’m looking to upgrade my old 2nd generation Fire Stick.

“It’s on a small extra TV in our bedroom, the TV is only 1080p and just has built-in stereo speakers.

“The old 2nd gen has all the features we need, but it’s getting slow, sometimes crashes, and sometimes struggles with x265 content,” they wrote.

The Reddit user explained how they had seen Fire TV Sticks were on sale at the time.

It seemed like the perfect time to upgrade but the Fire Stick fan wasn’t sure which one was best.

“Is there any reason I shouldn’t just get the cheapest version, the lite?” they asked.

“Black Friday sales at Amazon go get a 4k max ! Almost half off . Device will easily last you 4-5 years!” one user said.

“Won’t last as long as higher tier product aka product cycle life time,” the same Redditor advised.

“Put out for the 4k max while it’s cheap. It’s a steal. It doesn’t matter that you’re not running 4k, you’ll notice the speed difference,” another said.

Amazon Fire TV Sticks with 4k aren’t always on offer and usually cost over $30 or £30.

They are often in Amazon’s sales though so it’s worth checking their price around sale season if you’re looking to upgrade.
