I own the previous non-4k model, and this is a much better experience. First off, It's faster than previous fire sticks. No more menu lag. Things are smoother and faster overall. The user interface is snappier and more responsive all around, unlike the older Fire Stick, which does occasionally lag. It's crisp and clear, and intuitive to operate - and set-up is a piece of cake.
If you are wondering whether an elderly or technophobic person can handle the setup process, the answer is yes. The onscreen prompts guide you through everything, and should be easy for anyone to follow, even if don't consider yourself tech savvy. And in terms of the physical hardware, there are only like 2 steps: 1) Connect the Stick to a power source 2) Plug the Stick into any open HDMI port, which you'll find on the back or side of your TV.
Also, If you're wondering if the Fire TV Stick (with TV controls) suits you more. I would say it’s a question of personal preference. The Fire TV Stick Lite version does not support Dolby Atmos audio and the included Alexa Voice Remote Lite does not have power or volume buttons. Personally, the Lite version is fine for me as I have another remote which controls my TV’s volume and power button and I do not have a soundbar. However, I would recommend anyone with different devices connected to their TV such as soundbars to buy the Fire TV Stick (with TV controls) version as this would allow you to control everything all at once, however it is slightly higher in price compared to this one.
Finally If you're wondering whether the Lite version is a gimmick or whether it's worth it, the answer is: it's worth it, because it's as if they ironed out all the little kinks and pain points to get the user to their chosen content as quickly as possible. All the little improvements in terms of the speed/function, and the upgraded Alexa remote with the new “guide” button which takes you straight to your videos makes the Lite version a pleasure to use.
Amazon needs to keep up the good work. This Lite stick is a solid product and an excellent upgrade (for those on a budget) from the previous model. Hope this helps!

We already have the more expensive fire stick in our main tv which we love.
Our second tv doesnt support Brit Box so we decided on another fire stick but opted for this version as its quite a bit cheaper.
The only difference is three buttons on the remote. The ability to turn the tv off and adjust the volume. Weve never used these buttons anyway as we just use the ones on the tv remote so it was a no brainer to go for the cheaper option.
Fire sticks are so easy to set up and use.
Plug the little unit into one of your tvs usb ports, plug into the mains. Switch tv on, select fire stick and follow the onscreen instructions.
It supports all the catch up channels plus Netflix ,Brit Box, Disney, the list goes on.
Really good interface and will either update your tv to a smart one or update your already smart tv should it not support certain apps.
I would certainly recommend this version for price, ease of use and a great viewing experience.

However, if, like me, you might side load some additional Apps onto your Firestick, which are not linked to your Amazon Account, you might see that the image / icon for the App does not appear in your Apps list and instead you get a "greyed out" box. The App will install and work fine once you open it, but the obvious visual for it is missing on your home screen and My Apps lists and if you have a few of them, you will have to guess which app you are opening. Example pictured.
This Fire TV Lite OS is Version 7.2.2.3, presumably bang up to date, and this does not happen (in my experience) with previous OS on the 4k Stick for example which is version 6.2.7.3.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and Factory resets but it is still the same. Might this be a "glitch" with the latest OS, Version 7, that needs fixing?

I loaded in this order. Sign in with Amazon, go to settings and enable apps from unknown sources and ADB debugging in the developer options. Then loaded the mainstream apps from the amazon store and then side loaded my other apps. All done without problem in less than 30 mins.
If, like the other reviewer you struggle with grey icons then Google it. It is not a new problem and there are countless sites with help on how to sort it out.
As for the stick itself I really recommend it. I have no need for 4k (due to 720p eyes), i never use the TV buttons on my other controls and I have no need for dolby atmos. My only gripe would be some price creep I paid less for my last full featured stick than this lite version. Either way, this is the best streaming device around - buy it without fear if disappointment.

I have every generation of stick except the 4k and they are all still going strong, even the G1. I use them for everything, prime video, Netflix, britbox and all the mainstream apps like iplayer but I also sideload non amazon apps like KODI. I had absolutely no problem uploading the apps (see pic) and they all loaded with their icons. They work swiftly and I am hugely impressed with the speed of this stick.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2020
