The Fire TV Cube is an Alexa-based smart speaker and media streaming device. Find out more in this Amazon Fire TV Cube review.
There’s no shortage of streaming devices. Whether it’s Amazon, Apple, Google, or Roku, there’s a streaming device for you. The Amazon Fire TV Cube is the company’s most robust offering and it competes directly with the Apple TV. It features top-of-the-line hardware, Amazon Alexa, and of course nearly all the content you could desire. While it may be the best of the best from Amazon, it still faces shortcomings that are worth pointing out. Find out what they are in the Android Authority Amazon Fire TV Cube review. The Fire TV Cube is Amazon’s answer and foil to the Apple TV. It’s a streaming box that goes beyond merely offering access to your favorite content by including the hardware needed to jump to the next level of audio and video performance. This cube-shaped streaming device supports all the movies and shows you want to watch with the added bonus of a fully functional Amazon Alexa. That means you can talk to it, ask it questions, and query about the hottest TV trends — all without the remote. It replaces the original Cube with some upgraded hardware, chiefly a faster hexacore processor and support for 4K. Set-up takes but a few moments. Plug it into the wall and your TV, connect to Wi-Fi, sign into your Amazon account, and you’re good to go. Solid performance. The processor and memory/storage configuration means the Amazon Fire TV Cube is fast and responsive. It perked right up at voice requests, and navigating the menu system felt snappy. Speaking of the menu system, it’s simple and lively. I found the software easy to learn and interact with. Moreover, it’s privy to nearly all the streaming content that’s available online. Seriously, if you want to stream it, you can find it and watch it on the Fire TV Cube.
