Amazon will once again include far-field voice control built directly into the new Fire TV cube, so you can use Alexa to control your TV even if you don’t have the remote.
With more power and Alexa integration, this streaming device is designed to anchor your cord cutting setup and help you control smart devices throughout your home.
