Leaks and documentation updates suggest Amazon is preparing a new Fire TV Stick 4K for 2026. While official technical specifications remain unconfirmed, leaked images indicate a more angular, compact design compared to previous curved models.

The redesigned remote reportedly includes new shortcut keys for favorites and settings, with the Alexa voice assistant button moved to the top right corner. It may also feature a new backlit, animated Home button. There are indications that the new streaming platform may utilize Vega OS.

In addition to the Fire TV hardware, reports suggest Amazon is preparing a 12th-generation Kindle and has implemented significant price reductions on existing Fire TV, Echo, and Kindle devices ahead of Prime Deal Days.
