★★★★☆
Works fine. New buttons work. A bit faster. So far no WiFi 6
Upgrading from the "old" 4K Fire Stick which will go to my son. One star off for the "WiFi 6" capabilities as I have an ASUS RT-AX86U router with WiFi 6 and yet my new Firestick shows 5GHz with very good signal strength. It works fine and streams fine but I would like to see my FIRST WiFi 6 device showing that it is using all of that extra speed, heh. The boot-up, app boot, and remote are slighter faster. The navigation ring on the remote is a bit stiffer than the older one (does not butt change stuff when you sit on it tho!) The Netflix, Disney+, Prime buttons all work fine. Getting all the apps signed in AGAIN is a pain so I wished that would automatically get moved over with some sort of sync but it is a one-time pain. Full-time HDR and Dolby vision pops up on most stuff. Easy to connect to a network. Does 8 bit, 10 bit, and 12 bit HDR and is selectable. Audio sounds great but I just use stereo headphones so cannot tell much difference from the old one Should you upgrade from the old Fire Stick to this new one? Nope if the old one works well. A little faster, probably better WiFi reception and some extra buttons are not worth it so far. I just needed another one.
