Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2024) offers Wi-Fi 6E, 16 GB storage and a powerful MediaTek processor, delivering fast 4K HDR streaming and Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming. Its ad-laden UI and single-task focus may deter power users seeking multitasking. Ideal for cord-cutters with high-speed Wi-Fi who value Alexa integration and ample storage.
The ONN Android TV 2K FHD Streaming Stick delivers 1080p streaming in a thumb-drive form factor with a voice remote and Google Assistant. Limited RAM (1 GB) and lack of 4K or Ethernet reduce its appeal for power users. Suitable for secondary TVs or travelers needing basic Android TV functionality.

Professional reviewers consider the ONN stick a solid entry-level Android TV device, praising its affordability, smooth 1080p performance, and full Google Play access, while noting the constraints of 1 GB RAM, limited 8 GB storage, and lack of 4K support as clear trade-offs.
Everyday users generally like the easy setup, reliable 1080p playback, and low cost, but repeatedly mention RAM-induced lag, storage filling up quickly, and disappointment over the missing 4K capability.
“It's a budget-friendly option delivering pretty great daily Android TV experience.”
“Fast boot times, seamless 4K/Dolby Vision streaming, reliable Wi-Fi 6E in apartments, and Ambient mode for art displays”
Professional reviewers commend the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for its powerful 2.0 GHz processor, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, expanded 16 GB storage and fast, responsive Fire OS 8 interface, positioning it as Amazon's top streaming stick. However, they note its single-task design, ad-laden UI and marginally higher latency compared to rivals as drawbacks.
Everyday users appreciate the fast boot times, seamless 4K/Dolby Vision streaming, reliable Wi-Fi 6E performance and the Ambient mode's visual appeal, but repeatedly complain about intrusive ads, occasional app crashes when storage fills, remote battery drain and the perception that the device is overkill for simple streaming.
