It also still has the same prominent circular navigation pad, pinhole microphone for using Alexa (though the Alexa button is now a blue Alexa logo instead of a black microphone), playback controls, and TV power and volume controls. It’s still a thin black wand with slightly rounded ends, and is the exact same size and shape as the previous Alexa voice remote. It’s the third generation of Amazon’s Alexa voice remote, with a slightly tweaked design and a bit more functionality. The remote is the biggest change on the new Fire TV.
The only difference between the two devices, aside from their remotes, is that the Fire TV Stick can output Dolby Atmos audio if your TV, soundbar, or surround sound system can handle it. According to Amazon, it’s 50% more powerful than the previous (second-generation) Fire TV Stick, the same claim made about the Fire TV Stick Lite.
It’s a 1080p media streamer that supports high dynamic range ( HDR) content in HDR10, HDR10+, and hybrid log gamma (HLG). Internally, the third-gen Fire TV Stick seems to be almost the exact same device as the Fire TV Stick Lite. A short (only a few inches) HDMI extender is included if there isn’t enough room on the back of your TV to plug the Fire TV Stick directly into an HDMI port. The micro USB port connects to the included wall adapter for power, and can be used with Amazon’s optional $15 Ethernet adapter if you want to use a wired network connection. It’s completely unadorned, except for an embossed Amazon logo on the top and a micro USB port on the side. It’s a simple 3.4-by-1.2-inch (HW) black plastic rectangle with an HDMI plug sticking out of one end. Physically, the third-generation Fire TV Stick is identical to the Fire TV Stick Lite and the Fire TV Stick 4K, which, in turn, were largely unchanged from previous Fire TV Sticks in design.
