When it comes to streaming essentials, Amazon Fire TV devices are a highly popular option for a good reason. The Fire TV family offers a variety of reasonably priced choices to pick from that instantly connect you to a world of content without the need for that pesky old cable. With Amazon Prime Day 2021 on the way, there’s no better time than now to check out the latest and greatest in Fire TV devices.
Prime Day Deals on Fire TV
Every Prime Day Amazon offers enticing price cuts on many products, including their smart devices, so if you’re on the market to try out a Fire Smart TV or the Fire TV Stick, this is your chance to get it for the lowest possible price. The Amazon Fire TV platform has plenty of content for you to choose from. All of Amazon Fire devices give you access to streaming staples like Netflix, Max, Hulu, and Prime Video, making it easy to find and watch all your favorite content.
There are a few different devices in the Fire TV line, so let’s figure out which one might appeal to you the most.
Amazon Fire TV Stick: One of Amazon’s most popular smart devices, the Fire TV Stick can turn any TV into a smart TV. This little stick comes with a lot of power and is perfect for streaming beginners who don’t want to deal with a lot of complicated setup steps. Roughly the shape and size of a small candy bar, the Fire TV Stick device easily plugs into your TV’s HDMI port and allows you to watch your favorite shows and stream content from a variety of apps. The Fire TV Stick comes with an easy-to-use Alexa voice remote, so you can see your favorite show on the screen without having to endlessly click away. Aside from plenty of on-demand content to choose from, the Fire TV Stick and other Fire TV devices now have a separate tab for live TV content; this makes it easy to distinguish your cable replacement options like Sling TV or YouTube TV from on-demand services like Disney Plus, Netflix, and, of course, Amazon Prime Video. This handy little device also gives you the ability to listen to music on your TV. The Fire TV Stick 4K, with access to 4K Ultra HD, will run you $50.00 at its regular price.
Amazon Fire TV Cube: Hate using the remote? Like the feeling of having a personal assistant that you can give tasks to? No problem, the Fire TV Cube uses Alexa to fulfill all of your streaming commands and more. You can turn on the TV and play your favorite movie. You can also change channels, check the weather, and turn on the lights all with just the sound of your voice. This device is perfect if you dislike fiddling with remotes, or if you’re busy cooking in the kitchen or working with your hands. The Fire TV Cube is on the pricier side of the Amazon family, selling for $120, so a Prime Day sale is the best chance of getting it at a lower cost. If you’re concerned with privacy, the Cube has built-in privacy controls. The device also comes with a remote, in case you get tired of using your voice.
Amazon Fire TV Edition Smart TVs: If you want to skip the various devices and simply get a TV that can connect you to all your viewing pleasures, the smart Fire TV is the answer to your dreams. “Fire TV Edition” TV sets have the same features that you would get by plugging in a Fire Stick into your TV. Equipped with Alexa voice controls, a Fire TV Edition smart TV helps ensure a seamless streaming experience. With a Fire TV you won’t have to worry about purchasing any additional devices or wonder whether a certain app will be available.
These are just the newest and most popular Amazon devices, but there are plenty of other Amazon products worth looking for on Prime Day. These include sound accessories like the Echo Dot smart speaker, as well as Fire tablets, security devices and other cool gear. Be sure to stay on the lookout for all Amazon devices to see what’s on sale.
Prime Day Savings Strategies for Fire TV
Even though Prime Day is still a little ways away, it’s never too early to prepare for its deals and figure out a strategy for getting your hands on some exciting new technology.
Let’s cover the basics first: membership. Remember that in order to enjoy the 48-hour shopping spree known as Prime Day, you must be a Prime member. If you’re not, head on over to Amazon’s website and sign up for the 30-day free trial to see what the fuss is all about and get your hands on some Prime Day deals (plan to sign up during a time frame that ensures Prime Day will take place while your membership is still active).
Our second piece of advice is to price-check the items you’re thinking about buying and see if any competing retailer can offer you a better deal. Stores like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart frequently offer competitive sales during Prime Day, so definitely have them open on your browser and make sure you’re getting the best deal.
Lastly, it’s a good idea to download the Amazon app on your phone; that way you can see new and upcoming deals. Lightning Deals — as their name implies — sell out at a lightning speed, so turn on your “Personalized Notifications” in your settings to get notified when they are about to go live.
