Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen / 2023)
Mid-tier 4K stick with HDMI 2.1 built-in and Wi-Fi 6 (non-6E) radio. AV1 decode supports next-gen streaming formats; Micro-USB 9W power can accept OTG Ethernet dongles. Identical ARC and Dolby Vision/Atmos capabilities to 4K Max (2nd Gen), but 8GB storage instead of 16GB. Best value for 4K streaming without paying for 6E hardware.

Fujifilm’s sixth-generation fixed-lens compact packs the same 40.2MP X-Trans sensor and IBIS system from the X-T5 into a legendary rangefinder-style body with a 23mm f/2 lens.
