Features of Amazon Fire TV Cube

The Fire TV Cube is about as feature-packed as streaming devices can get. This streaming box is about voice commands, starting with the aforementioned far-field microphone array and deep Alexa voice control integration. During set-up, the cube will prompt you to identify your TV and start the Alexa set-up process. Unlocking the ability to switch your TV on and off with a simple “Alexa, turn the TV on/off” phrase. You can also ask the assistant to open apps and find specific content. Answer general questions, make calls, set timers and even order things from Amazon.

Hypothetically, you could interact with the whole Amazon Fire TV Cube without lifting a finger. Which is not only convenient but also a big deal for accessibility for those with disabilities that limit motor functions. Alexa has come a long way since its launch, too, which means misinterpreted voice commands are few and far between.

Amazon Fire TV Cube 3rd generation

Moving onto the Cube’s AV features, it supports 4K streaming in all of the HDR formats you could hope for, including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. However, we recommend checking that content is playing in the right format, as the cube sometimes doesn’t automatically switch to Dolby Vision when it should. This can be remedied in the settings menu, however, by manually selecting the Dolby Vision HDR mode. Speaking of Dolby, the Fire TV Cube also supports Dolby Atmos for immersive audio.

The Fire Cube also boasts the most powerful brains in the entire Fire TV range. With an Octa-core processor twice as fast as the Fire TV Stick 4K Max’s Quad-core design. In practice, the Fire TV Cube mostly performs well and breezes through the Fire OS interface. We say ‘most of the time’ as the Fire TV Cube did freeze and crash completely at one point during our testing; however, after switching it off completely and back on again, it sprung back into life, and the problem hasn’t arisen since.

For internet connectivity, you’ll find Wi-Fi 6E on board, which can supply faster, smoother streaming if you also have a router that supports it. The cube is the first to support this latest Wi-FiWi-Fi connectivity standard, although it also supports all other Wi-FiWi-Fi formats. Ideally, you’ll want to hook an Ethernet cable to the Fire Cube for the best streaming performance.

Amazon Fire TV Cube Key Specs

Thankfully, Amazon has had plenty of time to flesh out the Fire OS ecosystem since the first Fire Stick launched nearly nine years ago. You’ll find all your favourite apps here: Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple TV+, and Paramount+, as well as region-specific services such as BBC iPlayer, ITV X, All 4, My Five, and Now in the UK. HBO Max, Hulu, and Peacock are all supported in the States, too. 

Music streaming is also comprehensive, with Spotify, Tidal, Deezer and TuneIn Radio all supported, although Apple Music still needs to cut. Speaking of Apple, you can’t purchase iTunes content directly from the Apple TV app on the Fire Cube. Instead, you’ll need to buy them through a compatible device and load them into your library – something to bear in mind if you’ve cultivated a digital collection on Apple’s platform.
