is the most powerful Fire TV streaming player ever—20% more
powerful than the previous generation—and first streaming media
player in the industry with an HDMI input port and Wi-Fi 6E
support
New premium Alexa Voice Remote Pro introduces
Fire TV’s first-ever Remote Finder feature, backlighting, and
customizable buttons for personalized shortcuts
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced upgrades to its
industry-leading Fire TV family, including the next generation Fire
TV Cube—Fire TV’s most powerful streaming media player yet—and
Alexa Voice Remote Pro, a premium remote with an all-new Remote
Finder and customizable buttons.
“The all-new Fire TV Cube is a big step forward for Fire TV—it’s
the fastest, most powerful, and most versatile streaming media
player we’ve ever made,” said Daniel Rausch, vice president of
Amazon Entertainment Devices and Services. “This Fire TV Cube’s
powerful processing and Wi-Fi 6E support deliver an incredibly
smooth streaming experience, and HDMI input means you can instantly
extend the simplicity of Fire TV and hands-free Alexa control to
your home entertainment system. With Alexa Voice Remote Pro, we’re
making it easy to find a misplaced remote and get to the apps and
content you love.”
Fire TV Cube—Enhanced Power and Speed
The third generation of Fire TV Cube is Amazon’s best Fire TV
streaming media player yet, with a new octa-core 2.0 GHz processor
that makes it 20% more powerful than the previous generation. The
supercharged processor increases app launch speeds, making this
Fire TV’s smoothest and most fluid streaming media player
experience to date. Fire TV Cube can be controlled entirely
hands-free with Alexa and includes support for cinematic 4K Ultra
HD, Dolby Vision, HDR, and immersive Dolby Atmos audio. Plus, it
offers a range of new features, including an HDMI input port, Wi-Fi
6E support, and Super Resolution Upscaling.
An industry-first, Fire TV Cube includes an HDMI input port,
giving customers the flexibility to bring their entertainment
devices together by directly connecting compatible cable boxes,
Blu-ray players, and more devices. Now, customers can just say,
“Alexa, tune to ESPN on cable” instead of manually changing inputs
to get to the content they want. With Fire TV Cube, customers can
easily control live TV, cable boxes, and on-demand streaming via
Fire TV’s Alexa Voice Remote or hands-free with Alexa. Fire TV Cube
also features an additional USB port for easy connection to
compatible webcams for video calling with Alexa
Communications—simply say, “Alexa, call mom” to connect with family
or friends from the largest screen in the home.
Fire TV Cube is the first streaming media player in the industry
with Wi-Fi 6E support, giving customers with a compatible router
the ability to enjoy a smooth entertainment experience with less
interference from other Wi-Fi devices in the home. It also features
a new Ethernet port if you need a wired network connection.
New to Fire TV Cube is Super Resolution Upscaling, which
provides enhanced picture quality by seamlessly converting HD
content into 4K for greater detail, contrast, and clarity. With
Super Resolution Upscaling, content—from movies originally made in
HD to grainy family photos—will look sharper on a 4K display.
Alexa Voice Remote Pro—Remote Finder Feature, Customizable
Buttons, and Backlighting
Alexa Voice Remote Pro is a new premium remote built to help
customers spend more time streaming and less time searching for the
remote. It introduces a Remote Finder feature to help customers
find misplaced remotes more easily. Simply say, “Alexa, find my
remote” or use the dedicated Remote Finder button in Fire TV app,
and Alexa Voice Remote Pro’s built-in speaker will emit an audible
ring to attract your attention.
Two new customizable buttons make getting to your favorite
content and Alexa commands quicker and easier. You can personalize
your remote by programming these buttons to create one-touch
shortcuts to favorite apps, channels, and anything Alexa can do.
For example, you could choose to program a button to have Alexa dim
the lights, check the weather, or start an Alexa Routine for movie
night. Alexa Voice Remote Pro also includes motion-activated
backlighting that automatically illuminates the buttons when the
remote is picked up in low-light settings.
Alexa Voice Remote Pro is compatible with most Fire TV streaming
media players, Amazon Fire TV smart TVs, and Smart TVs with Fire TV
built-in.
Accessible and Sustainable
Fire TV Cube supports Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA),
allowing customers to directly connect compatible Bluetooth hearing
aids. Both Fire TV Cube and Alexa Voice Remote Pro’s product and
packaging are designed with sustainability in mind. Fire TV Cube is
independently certified to use less energy and cause fewer of the
emissions that contribute to climate change, earning the ENERGY
STAR certification. As a part of Amazon’s commitment to helping
preserve the natural world, Fire TV Cube and Alexa Voice Remote Pro
both qualified for the Climate Pledge Friendly badge by achieving
the Carbon Trust’s Reducing CO2 certifications, showing that their
carbon footprints have been reduced year over year. To achieve
this, both products used more-sustainable materials and implemented
design changes to reduce their overall lifetime energy consumption.
Fire TV Cube and Alexa Voice Remote Pro’s packaging is 100%
recyclable in the U.S., made of wood fiber-based materials from
responsibly managed forests or recycled sources.
