Amazon`s latest Fire TV stick, with Alexa built in, is coming to the U.K., after launching in the U.S. back in October.
The streaming TV dongle will make its debut in the country on April 6 and have a price tag of Ł40, with Amazon already taking pre-orders.
The device comes with a quad-core processor that Amazon says makes it 30 percent faster than its predecessor. The dongle also supports 802.11ac WiFi networks, but the biggest difference is the new Alexa remote.
Like the Siri remote on the Apple TV, the built-in microphone in the remote lets users search for content like movies and music, as well as control content playback, open apps, and more. Unlike Siri remote, it also supports third-party Alexa skills, allowing users to control smart home devices, for example.
Apart from the aforementioned online pre-orders, the new Amazon Fire TV stick will be on sale in shops including Dixons, John Lewis, Tesco, and Maplin from April 6. Tags: Amazon, Alexa Discuss this article in our forums
