Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen) was initially released in September 2016 and updated in 2019 with a new remote. Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen) has a maximum supported resolution of 1080p @ 30fps, and a CPU of 1.3 Ghz. This stick was one of the most popular Amazon Fire TV devices before the release of Fire TV Stick 4K. The stick form factor doesn't provide any Ethernet ports, so for any testing and sideloading of apps, you connect via adb wirelessly. This device's specs are similar to the Fire TV Basic Edition (which is its globally available twin); the difference with Basic Edition is in the user interface.

Fire TV Stick Basic Edition, released in November 2017, is a more globally available version of the Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen). Whereas Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen) is available in US, UK, Germany, Japan, and India, the Fire TV Stick Basic Edition is available outside these areas in more than 100 countries or territories. From a hardware perspective, the specs for Fire TV Stick Basic Edition and Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen) are largely the same (the build model, AFTT
, is even the same). However, the Basic Edition doesn't ship with an Alexa Voice Remote, and the UI is simplified with more of an app-centric experience. For example, the "Recommended By Your Apps" rows that is normally populated through Recommendations isn't shown. The tabs on the top row are simplified, and you find apps by browsing the available categories rather than using search.

FAQ for Fire TV Basic Edition
How does Fire TV Basic Edition differ from Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen)?
From a hardware perspective, the specs for Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen) and Fire TV Stick Basic Edition are largely the same (the build model, AFTT
, is even the same) except that the Basic Edition doesn’t ship with an Alexa Voice Remote, and the UI is simplified with more of an app-centric experience.
For example, the "Recommended By Your Apps" rows that is normally populated through Recommendations isn't shown on Basic Edition. The tabs on the top row are simplified, and you find apps by browsing the available categories rather than using search.
Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen) is available in US, UK, Germany, Japan, and India, whereas Basic Edition is available outside these areas in more than 100 countries or territories (see the full list here). (Note: Don't confuse "Basic Edition" with "Fire TV Edition" – the latter refers to smart TVs.)
Fire TV Stick (1st Gen) was the first Fire TV Stick, released in November 2014. The Fire TV Stick (1st Gen) introduced a stick form factor that provided a more lightweight, portable, an affordable alternative to the more robust Fire TV set-top box. Fire TV Stick (1st Gen) supports 1080p @ 30fps resolution and has a 1 Ghz CPU. This device is no longer sold in the stores and is not as common among Amazon customers.

Fire TV (3rd Gen) was released in October 2017 and supports resolutions up to 4K ultra HD at 60 fps. It also supports HDR10 (High Dynamic Range, which results in bolder contrast and more vibrant colors) and supports Dolby Atmos for richer sound. Fire TV (3rd Gen) has a pendant form factor, making it less visible and more portable (this form contrasts with the set-top box form of the 1st Gen and 2nd Gen models). Its 1.5 Ghz quad core processor has more power than the stick, and it has a micro USB port that can optionally accept an Ethernet adapter. Fire TV (3rd Gen) also runs Fire OS 6, which is based on Android API level 25.

Fire TV (2nd Gen) was released in September 2015 and supports resolutions up to 4K ultra HD. In contrast to the 3rd Gen model, the 2nd Gen has a set-top box form factor, provides a USB port, has a direct Ethernet port, and runs Fire OS 5. Its fast CPU (2 Ghz and 1.5 Ghz dual cores) gives it strong processing power, and it is compatible with a game controller. The 2nd Gen device is now available in stores only as a refurbished device.
