Amazon and Best Buy are collaborating to bring the next generation of Fire TV Edition smart TVs to customers in the United States and Canada.
As a first step in the partnership, Best Buy will launch more than ten 4K and HD Fire TV Edition models from Insignia and Toshiba, beginning this summer.
“Amazon and Best Buy have a long history of working together, and today we take our partnership to a new level,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. “These Fire Edition smart TVs by Insignia and Toshiba deliver beautiful visuals and all the movies and TV shows you love, with an experience that gets better every day with Alexa. We could not have a better partner in this endeavour.”
The newly designed smart TVs come with the Fire TV experience built-in, bringing together live over-the-air TV and streaming content into one location. Users can connect any HD antenna and instantly use Alexa to search for and watch broadcast TV, or choose from a vast catalogue of streaming TV episodes and movies from Netflix, Prime Video, HBO, PlayStation Vue, Hulu and others.
Hubert Joly, Best Buy chairman and CEO, added: “Our goal is to enrich the lives of our customers by offering them the very best products and services, whether they come to us online, visit our stores or invite us into their home. Our partnership with Amazon is exciting because we believe Fire TV Edition delivers an incredible user experience and further strengthens the growing connection between home theatre, home automation and voice control.”
