The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 8,500, brand new and sealed, with 4K streaming at 60 frames per second, Wi-Fi 6E, 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. This is the current second-generation model from Amazon, running Fire OS 8 on a 2.0GHz quad-core MediaTek chip. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, and it ships with the Alexa Voice Remote. You can see the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max working on a screen at our store in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for households across Kenya that pay for internet but still watch an old TV through a decoder, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max plugs into any television with an HDMI port. Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Showmax are the apps most Kenyan buyers use it for. Families in Kilimani and Kileleshwa, students sharing a flat near Kenyatta University, and landlords furnishing Airbnb units in Westlands all use it the same way. Older smart TVs often run slow, outdated apps; the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max replaces that with a quick, current menu that keeps receiving updates.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops hand over the box and leave setup to you, Mascom International helps with setup, account sign-in and app checks before you leave. App availability depends on the region of your Amazon account, so our staff confirm what loads for you. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the voice remote is what wins over parents and grandparents who struggle with menus. Every Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max carries a 12-month warranty. Visit us on Kimathi Street or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max
How much is the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max in Kenya?
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max costs KSh 8,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The price covers the stick, the Alexa Voice Remote with batteries, the power adapter and cable, an HDMI extender, the 12-month Mascom International warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. It sits KSh 1,800 above the Fire TV Stick 4K, which we sell at KSh 6,700, and KSh 2,000 above the Fire TV Stick Lite at KSh 6,500.
Should I buy the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max or the Fire TV Stick 4K?
Pick the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max if you have a newer Wi-Fi 6 or 6E router, use many apps, or want room for downloads. Compared with the Fire TV Stick 4K at KSh 6,700, it adds Wi-Fi 6E, double the storage at 16GB and a faster processor for quicker menus. Both stream 4K with Dolby Vision. If you watch mostly Netflix and YouTube on an ordinary fibre router, the cheaper Fire TV Stick 4K covers you and saves KSh 1,800.
What internet speed does the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max need in Kenya?
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max needs home Wi-Fi, and 4K streaming works best on roughly 15-25 Mbps. Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba and Airtel 5G home internet packages in that range handle 4K comfortably, while HD streaming runs on less. A phone hotspot works for short sessions but burns mobile data quickly. Place your router near the TV, or use the 5GHz band, for steadier picture during evening peak hours.
Will the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max work with my TV, and do I need a 4K screen?
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max works with any TV that has an HDMI port, including older non-smart sets. To see actual 4K detail, you need a 4K TV; on a full HD or HD screen, the stick still plays content at that screen's resolution. HDR formats like Dolby Vision need a TV that supports them. The stick draws power from the wall adapter, so plug it into a socket on a surge protector to handle KPLC power cuts.
Can I watch Showmax and Netflix on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max in Kenya?
Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Showmax are the most common uses for the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max in Kenya. Which apps appear in the app store depends on the region set on your Amazon account, so availability varies between accounts. Mascom International staff help with setup and check which of your apps load before you go home. You still need your own subscriptions to each service, paid however that service allows, including M-Pesa where offered.
Who should buy the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and who should skip it?
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max suits homes with a 4K TV, a fast fibre or 5G home connection and a few streaming subscriptions. It also fits anyone with a newer Wi-Fi 6E router who wants the steadiest wireless link. Skip it if your TV is HD only and you watch casually; the Fire TV Stick HD at KSh 6,200 or the Fire TV Stick Lite at KSh 6,500 will do the job for less.
What does the Alexa Voice Remote do on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max?
The Alexa Voice Remote lets you speak to find shows, open apps and control playback on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Press the microphone button and say a title or actor's name. Dedicated buttons switch the TV on and off, change the volume and mute the sound, so you can often put the TV remote away. Customers across Nairobi tell us older relatives pick it up faster than any decoder remote they have used.
Can the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max store apps and downloads, and how many?
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max has 16GB of storage, part of which is used by Fire OS, and 2GB of RAM. That is space for dozens of streaming apps plus some offline downloads where an app allows them. More RAM keeps recent apps ready, so jumping from YouTube to Netflix and back takes less waiting. If storage fills up, uninstall apps you no longer use from the settings menu, and their accounts stay safe online.
Technical Specifications
Video and Audio Output

- HDMI 2.1 output with ARC support — connects directly to the TV, and passes sound to a soundbar through the TV.
Processor and Memory
- MediaTek MT8696T chip with four Cortex-A55 cores up to 2.0GHz — fast menus and quick app launches.
- GE9215 graphics up to 850MHz — handles the home screen animations, artwork and casual games without stutter.

Streaming Apps and Platform
- Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Showmax — the most common apps Kenyan buyers watch on Fire TV.
- App availability follows your Amazon account region — Mascom International staff help you set up and confirm your apps.
- Separate subscriptions required — each streaming service is paid directly to that provider on your own account.
- Unified home screen — shows content from your installed apps in one place, so you browse less.
- Free apps and channels — news, music and some free-to-watch apps add content without extra subscriptions.
Alexa Voice Remote
- Voice search through the microphone button — say a title, actor or app name to find it fast.
- Power, volume and mute buttons — control the TV itself, so most homes need only one remote.
- Channel buttons — move through live channels in apps that offer them.
- Runs on AAA batteries — included in the box, with spare AAA cells easy to find at any Kenyan supermarket.
- Bluetooth link to the stick — no need to point the remote straight at the TV.
Connectivity and Setup
- Wi-Fi 6E with 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands — 6GHz needs a Wi-Fi 6E router; other routers connect normally.
- Bluetooth 5.2 — pairs wireless headphones, game controllers and the voice remote.
- Plugs into any TV HDMI port — works with older TVs that have no apps as well as newer internet-connected sets.
- Ethernet through an optional adapter — not built in; a wired link suits flats where Wi-Fi is weak.
- Guided setup in minutes — connect to Wi-Fi, sign in to Amazon, then log in to each streaming app.
Inclusions
- Fire TV Stick 4K Max streaming stick — the main unit that plugs into your TV.
- Alexa Voice Remote with AAA batteries — ready to use straight from the box.
- Power adapter and USB cable — powers the stick from a wall socket for steady performance.
- HDMI extender — helps the stick fit into tight HDMI ports and can improve Wi-Fi reception.
- Quick Start Guide — short printed steps for first setup, though our staff can also walk you through it in store.
Package Contents
The sealed Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max box contains the streaming stick, the Alexa Voice Remote, AAA batteries for the remote, a power adapter with USB cable, an HDMI extender and a Quick Start Guide. You do not need to buy anything else except an HDMI-equipped TV and a home internet connection. Use the included adapter rather than a TV USB port, because many TV ports cannot supply enough power.
Warranty
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Claims are handled at our service desk in Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD. Bring the stick, remote and receipt for assessment.
