In xiaomist.com Batteries, backpacks and now even TVs: Amazon already sells its own Smart TVs in India, and it makes senseThe difference between the Fire TV 4 and Fire TV Omni models is in the hands-free management of Alexa. In the basic models we can talk to the Amazon assistant through the remote control, equivalent to the Fire TV Stick. Meanwhile, in the Omni TV we can speak directly to the television , as in the Fire TV Cube .
To protect privacy, Amazon Fire TV Omni televisions will feature a physical button to electronically disable the built-in long-range microphones for voice capture. From the Alexa application you can also access the voice record and delete these saved files.
Fire TV OS is the operating system that we will find inside these televisions. The same system that Amazon already offers in its players and with access to applications such as Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Disney + or HBO Max , in the US.
Among the options offered by the integration with Alexa is the wireless management of Amazon Echo devices, as well as new functions offered for the occasion. Fire TV televisions will allow you to perform commands such as "Alexa, what can I watch?", To find recommendations or "Alexa, play something from Netflix", to start playing content on Netflix. A feature that will arrive this fall and to date was only available for Prime Video from its operating system.
Two other commands are "Alexa, play TikTok", where you will access the recommended content of the social network or "Alexa, who is this actor?", Which works in Prime Video and allows you to ask about the content that is being playing .
Fire TV Omni models also include a Picture in Picture (PiP) feature so you can view information from connected devices like Ring security cameras, without stopping the TV broadcast.
