Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K is on sale for Prime Day - but you should buy the Chromecast instead

Google Chromecast with Google TV

No surprises here, practically all of Amazon's first-party 'Fire' branded hardware is featured front and centre in the Prime Day sales. That includes all three 4K capable streamers that Amazon currently sells, the Fire TV Stick 4K, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max and the Fire TV Cube.

So which one should you actually buy? If you're set on a Fire streamer, then the standard Stick 4K is probably the best value for money here. At just £35 in the Prime Day sales, it's a pretty accessible way to get into 4K streaming. The Max is just a small step up at £38 and for that minuscule price increase, we'd say it's probably worth the upgrade if it means you're Amazon streamer will last longer - thanks to that upgraded processor.
