Amazon released its new Fire TV Stick 4K in Spain on 30 September 2026, priced at 35.99 euros for launch. Variety reports that it reached several markets on the same day.
The player comes with a redesigned Fire TV remote. Its compact body also supports Direct Power, letting the device draw energy from a television's USB port. That can reduce cable clutter.
The promotion is temporary. After it ends, the recommended price will be 74.99 euros. Amazon is also taking reservations for the remote on its own at 15.99 euros, with the first shipments due at the end of October.
In Spain, the player sits between the Fire TV Stick HD and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. The HD model remains the entry-level option for standard streaming. The 4K Max targets users who want more storage, along with features such as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
Amazon is reshaping the range around clearer tiers, from entry-level through mid-range to premium. The new Fire TV Stick 4K is the middle choice.
The model runs Amazon's Vega operating system instead of Fire OS. It also supports direct use of Alexa+. Services available on the device include Prime Video, Netflix, RTVE Play, Movistar Plus, YouTube, Disney+, Apple TV and HBO Max.
Amazon says the Vega app library is still growing. Android Authority identifies the move from Fire OS to Vega OS as a major platform change. App compatibility may shift as the environment develops.
The hardware is smaller than before. Installation behind a television should be easier, and the player is simpler to carry between setups.
Direct Power is the practical change.
The device can use a television's USB connection, avoiding the same cable setup in every installation. The Verge describes this USB-powered design as a genuine new feature, rather than an exterior change alone.
The remote has changed more than its size suggests. Amazon altered the shape and layout of the controls, making the buttons easier to find by touch.
Its body is asymmetrical. The upper section is flat, while the lower section is curved. That shape helps users find the correct orientation when they pick it up. They can locate controls without looking directly at the remote.
One button is new. The star basic can open an application or activate a system function such as subtitles or the on-screen magnifier. The remote retains built-in television controls for power and volume.
The remote works with Fire TV media players released from 2019 onward. Amazon has also previewed the Fire TV Remote Plus for 2027.
That model is due in January 2027, information from Tom's Guide. It is expected to add an aluminium casing, backlit buttons and a Find My Remote function. Amazon had not announced its price at the time of the report.
The Alexa+ rollout will also be staggered. It will not appear on every Fire TV device or in every country at once. Tom's Guide reports that the new Fire TV Stick 4K is expected to receive the update only at the beginning of 2027 in some markets.
The wider range still includes the Fire TV Cube. It remains Amazon's most complete option for users who want advanced voice control and a fuller media experience.
The new Fire TV Stick 4K leaves that model in place and fills the middle of the range. Its switch to Vega OS also sets it apart from the previous Fire OS generation, making future app support an impressive point for buyers.
For Spanish buyers, price is the clearest part of the calculation. The launch offer puts the 4K model well below its 74.99-euro recommended price, with the redesigned remote included.
The smaller body and USB power option are useful changes, not merely cosmetic ones.
Amazon has paired a temporary price cut with a remote that offers more control. That gives the Fire TV Stick 4K a clear place in the company's Spanish lineup.
