Amazon is replacing Android Firesticks with Vega OS — so if you still want sideloading, a simple setup, or real power for emulation, these are the 3 devices I'd get instead of another Firestick.

📺 Top 3 I would get
Fire TV Cube 3 - geni.us/firetvcube3
Google TV Streamer - geni.us/googletvstreamer1
Nvidia Shield TV Pro - geni.us/nvidiashieldpro1
IPTV Box Formuler Z12 - geni.us/formulerz12
Roku Player - geni.us/roku4kplayer

I break down the ONN lineup for sideloading (including the 4K Pro 2), Apple TV 4K for easiest daily use, and the Nvidia Shield for emulation and power — plus which one I'd actually buy for your setup.
