Firestick Buying Guide — What to Know Before You Buy
This guide covers everything you need to choose the right Fire TV Stick: which model suits your TV, what features to look for, what is included in the box, and why buying through FirestickHub with a bundled IPTV subscription may offer better value than buying the device alone.
The Firestick Model Range
Amazon produces several Fire TV Stick models. The differences are primarily in video resolution output and Wi-Fi standard:
Fire TV Stick HD (2026 Model)
Outputs up to 1080p Full HD. Wi-Fi 5. Suitable for HD televisions and secondary screens. The most affordable entry point.
Available at FirestickHub: £99.99 including 1-Year IPTV subscription.
Fire TV Stick HD (Newest Generation)
The latest HD model with Wi-Fi 6 for better performance on busy networks. Full HD 1080p output.
Available at FirestickHub: £120.00 including 1-Year IPTV subscription.
Fire TV Stick 4K Plus
4K Ultra HD output with Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Wi-Fi 6. Best for main living room 4K TVs. Our most popular model.
Available at FirestickHub: £139.99 including 1-Year IPTV subscription.
Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen)
The most powerful streaming stick. Wi-Fi 6E, 16 GB storage. Fastest processing of any Firestick. For demanding streaming setups.
Available at FirestickHub: £159.99 including 1-Year IPTV subscription.
Fire TV Cube (3rd Gen)
Premium device. Far-field Alexa hands-free control, HDMI input passthrough, Wi-Fi 6E, ethernet support. For serious home entertainment setups.
Available at FirestickHub: £259.99 including 1-Year IPTV subscription.
How to Choose the Right Firestick
The simplest way to decide:
- Your TV is Full HD only: Fire TV Stick HD — no need to pay for 4K output
- Your TV is 4K and you want the best picture: Fire TV Stick 4K Plus or 4K Max
- You have a large household with many devices on Wi-Fi: 4K Max (Wi-Fi 6E handles congested networks better)
- You want hands-free Alexa and the fastest setup possible: Fire TV Cube
- Bedroom or secondary TV: Fire TV Stick HD is excellent value
