What is the Fire TV Cube?

The FireTV Cube is essentially a “crossover” device. It takes the best of Amazon 4K FireTV and Amazon Echo to let you control your TV and streaming media experience using your voice with Alexa. Physically, it is a small 38 mm x 142 mm x 16 mm, 43.4 g (without batteries) set-top box that melds 4K HDR video streaming, Dolby Atmos audio and a built-in speaker. The four buttons on top are similar to other Echo devices: Volume Up / Down, Mute/Privacy, and Reset.

About This Chart

As part of the due diligence in preparing for our reviews on this product, we noticed that full, detailed Amazon Fire TV Cube specs in a tabular format were not available online. While the vendor and even major review sites like CNET provide limited detail, no site provides a comprehensive level of specifications datasheet detail in a single page. Our aim is to remedy this with this new format. Please leave us a comment below and let us know what you think. If you have thoughts for improving on this format, we would love to hear those as well.
