Fire TV Stick 3rd-Gen (2021) with New Alexa Voice Remote Launched in India
Mar. 26, 2021Amazon has refreshed the Fire TV Stick 3rd Generation in India with anew Alexa Voice Remote. The new remote comes with dedicated buttons for Netflix, Prime Video, and Amazon Music. Amazon has also added a guide button for channel and program listings.
According to Amazon, you can use the new Alexa Remote with Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen and later), Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube (1st Gen and later), and Amazon Fire TV (3rd Gen, pendant design). To be clear, the remote won’t work with Fire TV Stick (1st Gen) or Fire TV Edition smart TVs.
Apart from the new remote, nothing has significantly changed with the Fire TV Stick 3rd-Gen. Amazon has not refreshed the 4K version of the Fire TV Stick with the new remote just yet, but that could happen in the foreseeable future.
