The Fire TV Stick 4K Select costs $39.99 and runs Vega OS with Alexa Plus, offering personalized streaming and broad app support for Amazon Prime members.
- Amazon unveiled the Fire TV Stick 4K Select on September 30, 2025, at its New York City Devices event, with pre-orders opening the same day and shipments starting next month.
- Amazon is moving the lineup to Vega OS, a new streaming system developed over two years to replace the Android-derived Fire TV OS on its latest devices.
- Priced at $39.99, the Fire TV Stick 4K Select pairs a quad-core processor with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage, relies on Wi‑Fi 5, and omits Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and Xbox cloud streaming at launch.
- Amazon cautions that only Amazon Appstore apps are downloadable for enhanced security, and some streaming app developers warn niche services may not work until updated; Alexa+ with Xbox and Luna support arrives soon.
- Amazon's move positions it to expand 4K access by lowering barriers with the Fire TV Stick 4K Select alongside Fire TV smart TVs featuring an enhanced electronic program guide and universal watch list.
