What is Fire Stick and what is it for?
One of the most notable functions of this device is its ability to turn any television into a smart one, a very useful feature today that gives us access to the popular VOD platforms and others skills useful for television consumption.
In this menu, we also find direct access to some of the most popular applications. In this way, we have all the functions in a single control. Another reason that has made this device famous is that we can control it by voice, using Alexa, so we only have to ask it to play our favorite series to start doing it.
Content playback is offered in Full HD quality and with fast connectivity that avoids interference during broadcast. The same happens with the sound system, since it is compatible with Dolby Atmos to be able to enjoy an immersive experience in those contents that have this feature. With this system, in addition, we have access to the 400+ free channels on the Fire TV Channels app. Its use is simple and access to content is very intuitive: just search on the Fire TV home screen where we can find channels, applications and more services at a glance.
What is better Fire TV Stick or Chromecast
Amazon’s Fire TV devices are not the only ones on the market capable of providing internet to any television. Google’s Chromecast device is also very popular. Both differ, to begin with, in their interface and in the functions that we can access, so it will depend on this to discover if Fire TV Stick or Chromecast is better for us.
On the one hand, the newest Chromecast devices allow you to access Google TV content with 4K playback with HDR and by voice calling Ok, Google. We like it because it organizes all the content from different platforms and services on a single screen so that we don’t have to access the specific application to continue watching the series to which we are hooked.
Installation and pairing of the device is simple, all you need is a Google account. Another of its functionalities is that it allows us send content from our phone or tablet to the television without having to connect any other cables. In the case of Amazon devices, the quality of image and sound reproduction will depend on the model we choose. Its advantage is that it allows us to access live television broadcasts without having to change the port on our television.
As for the design, we could say that Google’s is somewhat more compact and elegant, if what we are looking for is to escape the classic television remote control, although, in the case of the Fire TV Stick, this allows us to manage quick access to applications and platforms streaming. Playback quality is similar on both devices and the interface is intuitive. The decision, thus, depends on the budget and the tastes of each user.
