Amazon Fire TV Stick is a popular streaming device that can kick some life back into your old non-smart TV. All you have to do is connect the dongle through an HDMI port and your ordinary TV will magically turn into a smart one. The Fire Stick runs on the Fire operating system which is basically a fork of Android. So, all the applications that you play on your android phone will also be supported on your TV as well.
You can choose from a number of streaming apps like Amazon Prime, Netflix and YouTube to directly play movies and songs on your TV. Apart from this, you can also make use of the Alexa voice remote and change or play music and movies through voice commands.
