Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max: Breathe new life into your old TV

Smart TVS, many of which come with Alexa built-in, have become a favourite entertainment device for Indian households. A smart TV uses your Internet-powered home network to provide streaming video and services on your TV. Thanks to Amazon Fire TV Stick, you can also turn your old television set into a smart one. Basically, Fire TV Stick is a media streaming device which lets you stream video, install apps, play music, etc., on your TV. It’s built on the Android platform and it converts your normal TV to a Smart TV. You can install Android apps on the device and play games and enjoy music too. “It’s an HDMI stick and all you need is an HDMI port on your television and you’re good to go,” says an Amazon official.

“Fire TV has millions of active users in India, who enjoy hours of content every day,” says Parag Gupta, head, Amazon Devices India.
