Amazon returns to the ring with the new third-generation Fire TV Cube, a more powerful device that seeks to make your life easier, unifying the streaming that a Fire TV Stick gives you and the convenience of the Alexa Echo Dot.

This new generation It is maintained with a RAM of 2 GB and a storage capacity of 16 GB, with 11.6 GB available internal storage, so you will have no problem with applications or games of maximum resolution.

However, if you need more space you can always insert a USB drive or a hard drive thanks to its USB type A port.

So besides the USB type A port (which will also allow us to connect devices such as webcams to make video calls), the Fire TV Cube has one HDMI input and one output port, so you can connect it to your TV and at the same time connect other accessories, such as a Play Station, Nintendo Switch or Blu-Ray player. Also has an ethernet port to connect a router cable without the need for adapters, and there are also the power port and IR Extension port; the latter will allow you to connect an infrared extender.

When it comes to external changes, the Fire TV Cube loses its shiny plastic surface and It comes with a more elegant design. Covered with fabric on the sides, it gives the impression of holding an Echo Dot in your hands, but without losing its cubic shape.

“Alexa, turn up the volume.”

“Alexa, pause the movie.”
