The Amazon Fire TV player is one of Amazon’s biggest hits. If you plan to buy one… don’t do it at the moment.
Amazon FireTV It allows you to play the main streaming platforms on any screen that has an HDMI connector. With Amazon’s frequent sales, it’s easy to fall for them. But our advice is that don’t buy it for now.
The reason is that Amazon is about to launch two new models of Amazon Fire TV. That means they will include new features, and possibly lower the price of current Fire TV models.
As AFTVnews has discovered, two new “digital media receivers” have passed FCC review in the United States. This is how this body defines Amazon’s Fire TV players.
Two new Amazon Fire TVs in a matter of weeks
The FCC is the Federal Communications Commission, an agency that checks the safety of electronic devices before putting them up for sale. It is the last step before marketing them.
Characteristics of both models are not revealed, except that one has WiFi 6 and the other WiFi 6Ewhich leads us to speculate.
The truth is that Amazon has a bunch of Fire TV stick devices for sale: the standard version, the Lite version, a 4K version, and another 4K Max. It is difficult to imagine how they can be improved, since they cover all the needs:
The fact that they are WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E almost rules out that it is the renewal of the Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Litebecause they do not need WiFi 6, and the price would go up.
Everything indicates that it is the renewal of the Fire TV Stick 4K (WiFi 5) and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (WiFI 6) models, which would receive WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E, respectively. And we suppose that some other novelty.
The main handicap that these devices now have is that do not support HBO Max and SkyShowtime, which are on Chromecast. They can be installed manually, but you also have to update the apps manually, and sometimes they fail, as it is the generic Android version, and not a native version of the device.
Amazon is going to hold a product presentation on September 20, so chances are we’ll see these two new Amazon Fire TVs there. If you plan to buy one, wait for these updated products, because the current ones will surely drop in price.
