Should you buy it?
If you’re in the market for a new $30 or $40 streamer, it comes down to a choice between Fire TV’s content-first approach versus Roku app-first one. If you’re familiar with Roku’s simple menu design, the number of tiles and options on the Fire TV Stick’s home page can be overwhelming.
If you already have a Fire Stick, there’s positively no reason for you to buy the 2020 version. Dolby Atmos and HDR are weird add-ons for 1080p devices, and if Amazon wanted to offer something unique at a price, it should have included full 4K support. As it is, if you have a decent 4K TV then you should get a real 4K streamer — it’s just another $10. And if you want to save money, go with the Lite.
