Fire TV Stick Lite: Difference to normal stick explained

Fire TV connects millions of TVs worldwide to the Internet. Meanwhile, there is a newcomer in the product family called Fire TV Stick Lite. Our guide explains what it's all about.

Reduced functions: The Fire TV Stick Lite is defined by the remote control.

Due to the existing models under the name Fire TV, many customers wonder what the designation Lite actually means.

Fire TV Stick Lite: A small but important difference

The Fire TV Stick Lite is not 4K capable, but delivers FullHD - so just like the normal Fire TV Stick. Still, the Lite model is a bit cheaper - and there's a reason for that.

• The difference, however, is found in the remote: the Lite remote doesn't have an "on/off" button or volume control.
• What this means is explained on the product page: so you can't use the Lite remote to operate all TV functions, but only to navigate through Fire TV functions.

This is important to know, as more and more people are turning to the Fire TV remote as their only control. With the Fire TV Lite, this is not possible, as you also need the regular TV remote for volume and on/off.Thus, it remains an individual question and depends on your preferences whether the Fire TV Stick Lite is the right choice for you.
