Amazon has a virtual event on Thursday, where the retail giant is expected to showcase new hardware and services. We may be taking an early look at one of those devices: a new Fire TV Stick Lite.
The Fire TV Stick Lite will replace Amazon $ 40 TV streaming dongle, which came out in 2019 and is currently unavailable, and includes an updated Alexa voice remote, according to reports from German tech site WinFuture and tech blog ZatzNotFunny. While the physical HDMI dongle looks similar to the previous generation, it’s unclear what the specs are, the included remote features a new TV button and removes the volume and power controls. It’s unclear how much the new device will cost, but it will likely be less than $ 50 Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K.
Amazon hasn’t said what the focus of its launch event will be, but potential hardware updates include a rumored Wi-Fi 6 version of the Eero mesh router and other updates to its Fire TV transmission line. We may also hear more about Amazon’s plans for Prime Day, which CNET reported. will start on October 13 after being postponed earlier this summer.
