Yesterday, we learned that Amazon was preparing to bring his fire television cube to the Indian shores. And today, the company has officially launched the device in the country. The Amazon Fire TV Cube (2nd Gen) is a box of Amazon flagship streaming. It was launched in the United States in 2019, but it only visits the Indian market.
The new fire television cube improves its predecessor with an improved processing speed, support for other HDR formats and the ability to process locally selected voice commands.
The fire television cube (2nd Gen) is a fusion of an Echo Smart speaker and a fire streaming stick. Like other products in echo lines and fire television, the cube must be connected to a wall outlet all the time. The 3.4-inch square box measures 86.1 mm x 86.1 mm x 76.9 mm dimensionally and weighs about 465g.
The new fire television cube is powered by the Hexa-Core Hexa-Core Hexa-Core and Amazon processor asserts that it is the fastest Fire TV device of all time. Like its predecessor, the new cube is still able to produce 4K content at 60 frames per second, but it now supports more HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10 +, HLG and HDR10. It has a 1.6 inch (40 mm) integrated speaker and supports Dolby Atmos, 7.1 Sound Surround and HDMI audio passage up to 5.1. During this time, eight omnidirectional microphones and beam beam technology take care of voice commands.
The Fire TV cube can also check other IR-compatible devices in your living room, such as TVs, soundbars, A / V receptors and cable-satellite high-top boxes. You can enable or disable your TV, check the volume level on your soundbar and your A / V receiver, change TV channels, etc. In terms of connectivity, the cube supports Bluetooth 5.0, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, HDMI, Micro-USB and wired wireless infrared.
