The toughest rival of Chromecast has arrived: Amazon Fire TV Stick Basic


Since Chromecast saw the light in 2013, which is said soon, due to its price has been a great success and acceptance, both for its ease of configuration, as for its durability. A device that allows you to see the content of your smartphone or tablet on your TV is something that we need more and more today. And that Amazon knows, so they wanted to get into the sector and try the Fire TV Stick Basic.

It seemed that Amazon was only going to dedicate itself to the sale of third-party products until it started to manufacture its own. First on a smaller scale and value, and now has for sale a wide range of useful products for day to day as tablets, cables, chargers, and a long etcetera. Now, with its Fire TV Stick Basic, it intends to take away from Google its hegemony in this sector.
