edit, looks like my 1st gen fire stick qualifies for this 20%off +$3 off.
doing some googling it looks like this new cube gets slowed down by amazon bloat stuff??? again I use my current 2nd gen fire tv for about 80% kodi related streaming. maybe once in awhile watch security cameras through tinycam+ and i use the microsd for kids cartoons that ive downloaded.
- The Fire TV Cube (2nd Gen) is noticeably faster.
- USB Flash drives are natively recognized, requires OTG cable/adapter.
The Bad- Kodi: Zoom doesn't work correctly (vertical only) unless Mediacodec (Surface) is disabled, tried Krypton 17.6, Leia 18.9 and Matrix 19.4.
- TiviMate: Zoom doesn't work unless hardware video decoding is disabled.
The UglySummary
The Fire TV Stick 4K (non-Max version) doesn't have these issues. Being forced to use software video decoding isn't an issue for 1080p video since the Fire TV Cube has enough processing power. If you don't Zoom your videos to eliminate black bars then this isn't an issue since the Mediacodec (Surface) and hardware video decoding can be enabled. In short, avoid if using Kodi and/or IPTV like apps and you want to Zoom your videos. For all others, this is a solid upgrade at this price with the Amazon Prime 25% reward and Trade-In discount stacked.
While I like the performance upgrade the Ugly issue is a deal breaker for me. I have no desire to reboot the Fire TV Cube every time I turn on or switch inputs on my projector. It's also a downgrade if I have to disable hardware video decoding to be able to Zoom so black bars on videos can be eliminated. As such I'll be returning the Fire TV Cube.
Also, does cube show video (on connected tv) from my security cameras … like Echo Show

in case others are wondering, it looks like you can keep the Amazon remote and achieve the same credit. Just send the stick only.
