The Fire TV Stick as you know it is set to be discontinued. This is one of the reasons why right no you can purchase the original Fire TV Stick with $5 discount and the Fire TV Stick with Remote Control with $10 off the original price of $49.99.
The $39 Fire TV Stick was first launched in October 2014 and since then it became one of Amazon’s best selling products. With a dual-core CPU and 1GB RAM, the stick is relatively under-powered. It can’t run games and apps, and it also lacks several features support for Bluetooth headphones, for example, found in the Fire TV. The more sophisticated Fire TV Stick with Remote Control was launched in 2015 and also became an instant hit among consumers.
According to a fresh leak online, the company is testing a new media streaming device that runs Android 5.1 on a quad-core MediaTek CPU with 1.5GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage?! The supposedly upgraded version of the media streamer also features a Wifi and Bluetooth.
The new model will be likely more expensive than the available on the market right now as it will offer enhanced functionality. It will cost at least $20 more that the $39,99 sources tipped us.
