A brand-new Amazon Fire TV Stick is finally coming to the market. It’s been revealed to offer several advantages for your television experience. What’s even more convincing is the very attractive price that the streaming device has been set to.
Amazon Fire TV Stick: New 4K Select Device Introduced
On September 30, Amazon invited the tech world to a major event in New York City. Numerous new devices were presented, including the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select. It “helps you maximize every pixel of your 4K TVs at an incredible value,” as the company promises in an official statement.
This “attractive price” is $39.99. While you cannot purchase the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select now, you can already pre-order it so you can receive it quickly after it’s release on October 15, 2025. With the new device, apps are supposed to load faster, while High Dynamic Range 10+ ensures vibrant picture quality. A key change compared to other models of the streaming stick is said to make this possible.

Change of Operating System
Amazon is using a Vega operating system for the new Fire TV Stick, which is intended to be both “responsive and highly efficient.” Instead of being based on Android, Vega OS is based on Linux and uses React Native as a development framework, as German website ComputerBase explains. This way, apps can not only be created with JavaScript but also be transferred to and from other TV operating systems with greater ease.
These changes mostly happen in the background, so if you already use an Amazon Fire TV Stick and are considering switching to the new model, you don’t have to worry about a long adjustment period. The Vega OS interface was modeled after that of Fire TV.
Thanks to that, they look very similar visually, so the transition should be very easy for you. In the future, Xbox Gaming and Luna, a cloud gaming platform developed and operated by Amazon, will enrich the streaming experience via the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, as the company has also announced.
