If reports are to be believed it seems that Amazon
is planning on launching two new flagship Fire TV systems later this year, both
of which will be capable of streaming 4K Ultra HD HDR video at 60 fps.
The
smaller Fire TV dangles from a spare HDMI connection, via a cable that is
permanently connected to the slim rectangular shaped Fire TV. While the flagship Fire TV is cube shaped and comes
equipped with the same functionality provided by Amazon’s Echo Dot personal
assistant, offering hands-free Alexa control and assistance. Other features
include an IR emitter allowing the system to control your television and other
A/V equipment.
Although Amazon has not announced any details about
the two new 4K Fire TV systems, Sources are suggesting that Amazon could launch
the new hardware sometime before the end of 2017. With the first being
announced even later this month and release next if sources are correct.
As soon as more information becomes available we
will keep you up-to-date as always.
