I have both in different rooms, and I'm happy with both. I like the Google TV interface more, but the Cube feels a little quicker/snappier. Both are fine, though.

As far as video quality, they're on different TVs with different specs. So I couldn't give you an apples to apples comparison.

The built in always-on Alexa is very nice if you don't already have a smart speaker in the room. It's a small thing, but I can't stress how nice it is to simply say, "Alexa, turn off TV" instead of hunting for the remote when you want to head out or go to bed. But I already have smart speakers that allow me to do this, so it's kind of redundant on the Cube.

One thing I really like about the Cube is the USB input which you can plug a webcam into and use for video teleconferencing. I do a bi-monthly Zoom get together with a bunch of my college buddies, and regular video calls with my brother's and sister's families who live in different states. It's so much nicer doing that from a living room couch than an office desk, or with a laptop or phone. The whole family can fit in the frame. People can come and go as they please. I'm honestly surprised couch conferencing hasn't become more popular.

No. It has the advantage of wifi 6 but cube has more horsepower, more internal storage, and you don't have to push a button to activate the microphone for Alexa commands.

I clicked on Trade In and selected my old 1st gen Fire stick. It gave me 20% off + additional $3 gift card for the device which applied to the purchase right away. And the 20% off is from the original price of $119.99 not the sale price $59.99. I have until mid August to send in my device to trade in.

Item(s) Subtotal:$119.99
Shipping & Handling:$0.00
Fire TV Trade-in:-$24.00
Lightning Deal:-$60.00
Total before tax:$35.99
Estimated tax to be collected:$3.19
Gift Card Amount:-$3.00
Grand Total:$36.18

Great purchase. Do you have a qualified trade-in? It would further subtract 20% from the purchase price.

Doesn't the 20% require you have already done the trade in? Meaning I think they no money 6 allow you to trade in and get the credit right then and there

Might have to finally pull the trigger on this. Will check if I qualify for Discover points or AMEX point deal, even if I do I'll have to see if it's worth using it on this price point (not sure what the max savings are).

I never really thought I'd use this but with a kid now I've wanted to use my voice to either turn off, change channels, or lower the TV volume when my hands are full and remote is on the other side of the room during a feeding. I remember in a deal thread last year of some possible cons to the Amazon Cube, anyone have any negatives on this to post about?

Does this work well with Xfinity X1?

Anyone use one of these Cubes with their Xfinity X1? Thinking about getting this but haven't really found many recent reviews/articles/etc. that say if this works well with Xfinity X1 as far as being able to change channels and maybe control DVR on the Xfinity X1. DVR is probably not as important to me.

Thanks!

This connects to a hdmi port on your TV. It is all independent of your cable box/programming.

Some Amazon accounts qualify for Instant Trade-In credits. You can go through the Trade-in motions to see if you qualify and still back out before committing to it.

Alternately, there are trade-in locations (Amazon Hubs and UBreak-IFix stores) in a few States where you can drop them off. Check the Trade-In page for details.

I was going to buy a chromecast with google tv, is there any benefit this has over that? I use alexa voice commands, can this do more with alexa or better video upscaling or anything at all which makes it worth $20 more?
