If you want an improvement on your TV’s current user interface as well as bring Alexa into your home, than the Fire TV Cube might be the upgrade you’re looking for. At the moment, Amazon has reduced its price down by 21%. This takes it’s standard list price of $140 and lowers it down to just $110. That will save you $30 for a limited time.

This is Amazon’s latest version of the Fire TV Cube and represents the fastest media player in its whole streaming lineup. It’s packed with an octa-core 2.0 GHz processor that works twice as hard as the one found in the next model down—the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It helps ensure apps load quickly and can be navigated with zero lag. When you combine that with the built-in support for Wi-Fi 6E, you get and efficient streaming media player that runs smoothly in up to 4K.
Like any other Fire TV, the Cube will allow you to download and play content from all the popular apps out there. You’ll gain access to Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+, and more. You can even use the more niche options out there like Dropout and Nebula.
Alexa for Everything
One of the highlights of using a Fire TV is its Alexa-enabled remote. Searching for the movies or shows you want to watch becomes so much easier with this Alexa button. You not longer need to type out the title of what you’re looking for one letter at a time with the directional pad. Just hold down the Alexa button and speak the words, “The Man Will Burn,” and before you know it, you’ll be watching Elon Musk’s brother talking about what a transformative experience Burning Man is on HBO Max.
The Fire TV Cube doubles as a smart speaker, so you can use it like you would any other Echo device even when the TV is off. Ask Alexa to start playing music of your choice or even connect with someone at your door via the Ring Doorbell to have a two-way conversation with them.
