The following row showed me the Amazon Channels (opens in new tab) my account is subscribed to, and then a full row for one of those channels, Britbox.

Next is another sponsored row, as Amazon planted a set of Audible content boxes in the interface.īelow that, there's a Prime Amazon Original Series row, which is likely there because of my Prime membership. I prefer Apple and Roku's interfaces, however, because you can drag and drop apps wherever you want, in a grid. Many of these function similarly to the Continue Watching row in the Apple TV interface. Next, you find the Recent and Your Apps and Channels sections, which my activity slowly filled with boxes for YouTube, Succession, USA, HBO, and Pluto TV. At least with the Kindle Oasis, though, you can pay a nominal fee to eliminate those "special offers" on the lock screen.
While I understand that Amazon's cheaper devices (say, the $40 Fire TV Stick) are priced to be supported by advertisements, putting them on a $120 gadget feels as wrong as when they show up on the $250 Kindle Oasis. The Apple TV 4K (3.9 x 3.9 x 1.4 inches) and Roku Ultra (4.9 x 4.9 x 0.9 inches) are smaller overall, but wider.Ī couple of times, I saw that ad turn into video when my cursor stayed on it for too long while I was click up to the section navigation row at the very top. The Roku Ultra (like all Roku devices) home screen places ads on the right side of the screen, while the Apple TV 4K is ad-free. I guess marketing didn't like Fire TV Box. Yes, that's right, it's not actually cube. Identical to the original model, the Fire TV Cube measures 3.4 x 3.4 x 3.0 inches. Its top is matte and sides are glossy, which makes sense considering you'll touch the top more often and that surface is better at attracting fingerprints. Yes, the Amazon Fire TV Cube is a teeny little box (I've accidentally written Fire TV Cute, and wondered if that was a Freudian slip) with the buttons for volume, triggering the assistant and muting, a light-up bar to signify Alexa (blue) or technical difficulties (orange). It's an Echo speaker, but with corners and not curves. Amazon Fire TV Cube (2019) Review: Design The Fire TV Cube came out in October 2019. There is only one model of the Fire TV Cube, it costs $119.99 on Amazon (opens in new tab). Amazon Fire TV Cube (2019) review: Price, release date
Still, this tiny box is one pretty package, and it offers a compelling view of the future of TV. In the box: Amazon Fire TV Cube, 2x AAA batteries, power adapter, IR extender cable, Ethernet adapter,Īll the Cube is missing is the ability to edit your home-screen layout, as YouTube is finally landing on the Fire TV platform soon (details below). Audio: Dolby Atmos (via HDMI pass-through)
