Amazon had already announced that it will be bringing its new Amazon Firestick 4K streaming dongle to India this month. The streaming device is now available for purchase today. This new firestick is for those people who own high-resolution displays and wish to enjoy their content in the best possible resolution.
Since Chromecast 4K is still not available in India, the Fire TV Stick is the only option that makes sense for anyone who needs to stream 4K content.
