"On first blush, the biggest difference in the new Fire TV UI is that everything is rounder. Shows, movies and apps have rounded corners, and Amazon's changed the spacing in the interface to give everything more room to breathe. Tweaks to typography and color gradients also give the UI a more modern feel, and Amazon says it's rebuilt the code of the Fire TV software to make everything faster, too, in some cases demonstrating "up to 20-30 percent gains in speed.""
"Each page shows content in carousels, and Amazon still lets you pin streaming apps like Netflix or Apple TV underneath recommended content, with the biggest difference being you can now pin more apps at once (20 rather than six). Amazon is also changing up how the Fire TV Remote works. Pressing the Menu button now lets you quickly access Fire TV's Art & Photos, Games and Ambient Experience features."
Amazon redesigned the Fire TV interface with rounder visuals, increased spacing, updated typography, and color gradients to create a more modern look. The Fire TV software code was rebuilt to improve responsiveness, with reported performance gains of up to 20–30 percent in some cases. A top menu separates Home, Movies, TV Shows, and Sports while content is presented in carousels. Users can pin up to 20 streaming apps beneath recommended content, up from six. Remote controls gained shortcuts: the Menu button opens Art & Photos, Games, and Ambient Experience, while a long Home press brings a shortcut panel with settings and Ring camera access. Alexa+, a rebuilt AI assistant, is integrated for watchlist additions, content recommendations, and smart-home control. The Fire TV mobile app remains available as a smartphone control option.
