He spent six years spearheading buying guides and consumer tech coverage at Digital Trends.In February, Amazon plans to roll out a much-needed revamp of Fire TV OS, one that seemingly takes a cue from Google’s TV platform. The forthcoming UI redesign will introduce better organization, support for Alexa Plus, and quicker performance to the aging OS, the latter of which has been a crux of the platform’s issues for years. Collectively, the changes make it a lot easier to recommend the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus, which is on sale at Woot through January 23rd for an all-time low of $18.39 ($32 off) when you use code DEVICES20 at checkout.Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus$18$5064% off$18$35 at Amazon$18 at Woot (with code DEVICES20)$35 at Best BuyThe Fire TV Stick 4K Plus — formerly known as the “Fire TV Stick 4K,” which is how Woot refers to it here — sits in the middle of Amazon’s lineup of 4K-ready streaming devices. It packs twice as much RAM as the newer “Select” model and supports an array of HDR and surround sound formats, including HDR10 Plus, Dolby Vision, DTS, and Dolby Atmos. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can also use it to stream select titles from the cloud, and, as expected, you can use it to watch the newest movies and TV shows from Prime Video, HBO Max, Netflix, and dozens of FAST (Free Ad-Supported TV) channels in HD or 4K.RelatedAmazon debuts its latest Fire TVs, including a new Omni QLED modelThe best entertainment of 2025Microsoft’s free Xbox Cloud Gaming is coming soon with adsAs for the hardware itself, the latest Fire TV Stick 4K comes with an Alexa Voice Remote, which allows you to quickly access your favorite streaming apps and Amazon’s ubiquitous voice assistant with the press of a button. Alexa lets you adjust various Fire TV settings, including the volume and input, but with Alexa Plus, you’ll soon be able to get stats on your favorite sports team, jump between iconic scenes, and carry out a host of more advanced actions using your voice. It’s a step in the right direction, even if our experience has been mixed thus far.Verge DealsSign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

We’re not going to wax poetic about the six-quart countertop appliance since you probably know what an Instant Pot is, but know that it lets you pressure cook, sauté, steam, and perform a host of other functions, eliminating the need for additional tools and cookware.If you own the newfangled iPhone Air, Apple’s aptly titled iPhone Air MagSafe Battery​​​ is down to $79 ($20 off) — its lowest price to date — at Amazon and Walmart. Admittedly, that’s still pretty pricey for a 3,149mAh battery pack that only delivers up to 12W of power; however, it’s also one of the thinnest options available, and can provide an additional 65 percent charge. It also allows for 25W charging when connected to a 25W or higher power adapter.Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is available from Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung in select sizes starting at $299.99 ($100 off), its second-best price to date. Although the Android-only wearable isn’t as capable as our No. 1 smart ring pick (read: the Oura Ring 4), Samsung’s first-gen alternative offers fantastic hardware, long battery life, and a host of ecosystem tricks aimed at Samsung users. Plus, unlike other the Aura, the Galaxy Ring doesn’t require you to pony up for a monthly subscription.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is currently available for purchase at a significantly reduced price of $18.39, a 64% discount from its typical retail cost of $50. This sale, facilitated through Woot, represents an opportune moment for consumers seeking an upgraded 4K streaming device. The core of this offer revolves around a much-needed overhaul of the Fire TV OS, spearheaded by Amazon’s forthcoming February update. This redesign draws significant inspiration from Google’s Television platform, prioritizing improved organization and enhanced user experience. Critically, the update directly addresses a longstanding issue with the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus – its sluggish performance. Coupled with increased RAM, the updated operating system aims to deliver a smoother, more responsive experience.

The device itself remains a key player in Amazon's streaming ecosystem. It packs twice the RAM compared to the newer “Select” model and supports a comprehensive suite of High Dynamic Range (HDR) and surround sound formats, including HDR10 Plus, Dolby Vision, DTS, and Dolby Atmos. Furthermore, subscribers to Xbox Game Pass can leverage the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus to stream select titles from the cloud, demonstrating its versatility as a gaming platform. Naturally, users can access a wide array of streaming services such as Prime Video, HBO Max, Netflix, and a growing selection of Free Ad-Supported TV (FAST) channels in both HD and 4K resolutions.

The sale at Woot underscores the market’s increased awareness of the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus's previously overlooked potential. The device’s functionality is complemented by the inclusion of an Alexa Voice Remote, facilitating quick access to streaming apps and Amazon’s voice assistant. The impending Alexa Plus integration, slated to provide sports statistics and advanced voice controls, anticipates to significantly elevate the user experience, addressing criticisms regarding the device’s limitations.

Beyond the core device, the offer coincides with related deals highlighting broader consumer electronics opportunities. Woot is also selling an Instant Pot Duo, a popular multi-functional kitchen appliance, at a discounted price of $69.99, and an iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is available for $79 – its lowest price to date, providing charging capabilities for Apple’s newest smartphone. Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy Ring, a wearable device, is offered at a reduced price of $299.99, reflecting a competitive entry point within the nascent market for wearable smart rings.

The availability of these ancillary devices—the Instant Pot, iPhone Air Battery, and Samsung Galaxy Ring—broadens the appeal of the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus offer, presenting a bundled opportunity for consumers to invest in a new streaming device alongside compatible accessories. These deals highlight a strategic move by Woot to capitalize on consumer interest in improving their home entertainment experiences, emphasizing that the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus represents both a core upgrade and a potential component of a larger technological enhancement strategy.
