    The first generation of Amazon Fire TV Stick was really amazing. I bagged this media streaming device during the festive sale. And another one on Big Billion Days Sale (as a gift) at ₹3099.

    Though the dongle retails at ₹3999, one could make it for ₹3499. Moreover, it even offered 15% cashback making it sweeter.

    However, one should have a decent broadband connection or Fiber Net to experience a true theatre feeling. Initially, it gave a problem in installing YouTube app. However, it was resolved later with the integration of Sik browser.

    Personally, I feel Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is better than the Chromecast.

    Hope this comparison study between Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick 4K would be helpful to the readers.
