In supports HDR 10+ content on Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ Hotstar, Zee5, SonyLiv, Voot, and others.

It boasts far-field voice recognition technology, eight microphones, and advanced beamforming technology.

Also, Fire TV Cube lets dim the lights, check the weather, listen to the news, and more—even with the TV off with the built-in speaker.
Amazon is promising that the new Fire TV Cube will get more features in the future with the new software update.
