The best way to enjoy OTT services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ Hotstar on a big screen is using a smart television. Almost every television today from leading brands comes with smart features and is based on operating systems such as Android TV. Smart TVs are convenient and over the past few years have become quite affordable. You can easily get a 32-inch Android TV-based television for around Rs 15,000. But if you are going for television without smart features or just do not want to upgrade from your old LED that works just fine, you can go for streaming sticks.

Amazon offers a wide range of options in its Fire TV portfolio. The Fire TV Stick is one of the recent ones and is suited for people who want a streaming device on a budget.

But you get 1080p video streaming on the Fire TV Stick Lite. It supports all major apps, while its Bluetooth-based remote control comes with support for Alexa digital assistant. The Fire TV Stick Lite is currently available for Rs 1,799, instead of the listed price of Rs 3,999.
