Previously writing for The Express, Aaron Brown said: "Inside, the latest chipset means the Fire TV Stick is 50% faster than the 2019 Fire TV Stick, but unless you're playing games on this lightweight dongle, you're unlikely to really notice the improvements."

"It's the software that is the real star of this show. Aside from maybe the Apple TV, Amazon's Fire OS has one of the best-looking menus on the market. Boxsets and blockbusters are presented with beautiful, high-resolution artwork that fills every corner of the screen.

Nevertheless, for those who already have a Fire TV Stick, this upgrade might not be necessary. If you've got a 4K TV, the 4K Fire TV Stick could be a more suitable option.
