I own 2 Fire TV Cubes 2nd Gen, 1 Fire TV Cube 1st gen, 1 Fire TV Max, 3 Fire TV 4K Sticks, 1 Omni Fire TV and 1 Insignia Fire TV. To say that I am invested in the Fire TV Echo System is an understatement. I can state that the Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen is by far the best of the Fire TV's sold by Amazon. I replaced one of my 2nd Gen Fire TV Cubes and the set up was super easy with integration to my Wifi and downloading of already owned apps a breeze. (setting up the passwords for all the apps continues to be a pain and took a long time to do). The aesthetics of this Fire TV is the best of the lot, it looks really premium. The interface is the same as the others however, the speed of navigation is fantastic. It is really fast making it a real joy to use. The Wifi 6E is supported however I can't tell the difference in the speed, but I can tell you that application buffering is really almost non existent. I have a T-Mobile 5G Gateway that averages 306 Mbs and supports wifi 6E, so perhaps that does make a difference. I have this cube attached to an LG 4K 65 inch TV and use a Yamaha 800 sound bar (attached via an optical cable). My Fire TV also controls a Sony DVD player, and Sony Playstation. I can switch between all HDMI inputs with no problem by voice. I do think that the 3rd gen cube produces a better sound quality through my Yamaha sound bar since it does support a wider range of output. Alexa works flawlessly as well, so no complaints. . So my net net is 1) Really fast performance, 2) better sound quality, 3) looks like a premium streaming device with the cloth enclosure, 4) very nice upgraded remote, 5) Alexa works great at controlling my TV and Sound Bar, 6) Integrated IN and OUT HDMI connectivity ports (which I don't use). My only negative is that one of the hot key's on the remote is Direct TV, which I would never use and would love to be able to change it. Also for the price, Amazon should have included the premium remote (backlit) with this Fire TV.
I would recommend this Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen for your main viewing area over all other Fire TVs. I would buy this on sale vs. the list price. I was able to purchase this Cube for $119 plus my trade in. In my book speed is king and this Fire TV will not disappoint you. I am confident that I will be using this Fire TV for the next 5 years minimum.

Should You Buy? Amazon Fire TV Cube 3rd vs 2nd Gen
Should You Buy?
Reviews with images
Definitely an upgrade from the 2019 2nd gen Cube
I've had my 2019 Cube for close to 3 years. Definitely got my money's worth out of it. I've owned other devices and still own a 2017 Shield. The Cube has been my daily driver for a few years though because I love how everything integrates and Android TV just doesn't do it for me. I use my Shield for other things and my Cube for my paid apps. I bought the 3rd gen Cube the day it was available for pre-order, along with the Pro remote which isn't released yet. I bought it because my 2nd gen was getting really laggy and it was enough to irritate me. The upscaling (Super Resolution) is what I was most excited for though. I received my Cube on Monday, a day before I was supposed to. I immediately plugged it in. I have it hooked up to my 65" Vizio OLED with an $80 Audioquest HDMI cable. I turned on The First 48 which is only a 1080p show and was blown away by the results. It looked so good in comparison to my 2nd gen. Everything looks better, the menus, the picture, the color is more vivid, everything. (I know Always HDR mode was enabled in the picture, it comes enabled by default and I just hadn't disabled it yet.) The GPU along with the upscaling is a major improvement by the looks of it. The new processor is really good as well. It's very quick. It will scroll through menus as fast as I can push the button and loads images instantly. There's a new menu button to the left of the home button on the screen as my picture shows, that you can switch to the HDMI input. I haven't tested this input as of yet. There's a few new items in settings as well. The Cube itself is also a huge improvement. I think it looks 10x better than the 2nd gen. 2nd gen was nice, but the piano black plastic scratches as soon as you touch it, even with micro fiber so I haven't liked that material much. The new Cube has matte plastic around the top and bottom housed by a black-greyish fabric. It's really nice looking (same as the new Echo Dots) The speaker (Amazon Echo built-in) sounds alot better too. All-in-all I think it's a huge improvement from the 2nd gen and I'm so glad they FINALLY upgraded the Cube and that it kept its design. Really the only other thing I can think of that needs changed is to make it a 3gb RAM box. It's 2022, yet we're still using the same amount of RAM as the 2019 Cube. I just have a feeling in a year or two, this 2gb RAM on this device isn't gonna be enough and it's gonna struggle, but I guess we'll see. I can't comment on Wifi 6e as I haven't upgraded my wifi yet, but I will eventually. But right now I don't have a reason too. As far as the regular remote that comes with it, I guess it's a nice remote, I'm just not a fan of all the added buttons. I much prefer the 2nd gen Alexa remote that has your standard buttons plus the volume and mute at the bottom. I just prefer the simplicity of it and don't like the clutter of the new one. Also, new remote that came with mine has really loud clicks. It's rather annoying. I know it's not cause my old remote is worn, cause it's been pretty quiet since I bought it (not the original remote that came with the 2nd gen Cube) so either the new ones are just really loud or I just got a bad one, which has happened to me with a remote I've had on a previous device and had to exchange it cause it was so annoying. I am waiting on the Pro remote which has even more buttons but I bought it for the backlit buttons. While it has a couple more buttons than the Fire TV remote that came with it, it's smaller in size. Pro remote is 5.8" and Fire TV remote that came with it is 6.2". My 2nd gen Alexa remote that I bought for my 2nd gen Cube is 5.6" so I'm sure I'll like the Pro remote a whole lot better. So with all that said, I am still happy with my purchase and am glad I decided to upgrade.
