Speaking of the arrival of a Chromecast 2, Amazon making its in-house HDMI dongle today official, Fire TV Stick. And the dev does not hesitate to praise the advantages of its product compared to the famous Chromecast.
But Amazon’s proposal is not revolutionary in itself. Like its competitors, the Fire TV Stick lets you stream content from services like Youtube, Vimeo, Netflix, and even Twitch.
In any case, this is what interests us in France. The dongle also allows access to Amazon Prime for 30 days, allowing for unlimited streaming of series and movies. But this service is reserved for the United States and Canada.
Users will be able to harness the full power of Amazon, with its rich multimedia catalog, game download and voice recognition, and the ability to control the dongle from their smartphone or with a remote control sold separately.
On the hardware side, Amazon states that its dongle is more efficient than Google, with 8GB of internal memory, which is 4 times more than Chromecast, and 1GB of RAM, twice that of Chromecast. Finally, the Fire TV Stick has a dual-core processor versus just one for the Google dongle.
Fire TV Stick Already available for pre-order on Amazon’s website for $39. It will be available from November 19 and there will be additional shipping costs for delivery from the United States to France.
As described above, Amazon Prime services will not be available outside of the United States and Canada. That said, Amazon runs the risk of convincing its American customers who have already been loyal since the Fire TV Stick’s launch. $19 for Amazon Prime customers.
It’s a pretty attractive proposition when we’re talking about a Chromecast 2. Dongles are finding some success in the United States thanks to the services provided. Will restrictions in France delay users? Have.
