Here’s my First Impressions video for the new 3rd Generation Fire TV Cube.
In-depth review coming next week on troypoint.com.
3rd Generation Amazon Fire TV Cube
Note: For those of you who already have this, I’m curious to hear your experience with expanding storage. As you will see in my video, it didn’t go very well. Android TV is much better at this!
I don’t get any sound on this vid. On my Samsung Galaxy S21+. So that’s a first.
I’m watching on my Windows 10 PC and I hear it fine.
Ya this is on my phone and a first for me. I’ll try it on my Max.
I’m starting to think they are locking down expanding storage for some stupid reason. Very annoying. If they stop using there internal for undeletable apps that would be great. I was going to buy this and also do a review but some spending came up… lame. Very good video and thank you!
Wow that is surprising about the storage issue. Yes playing fine on Win pc. Thank you for the vid Troy, excellent as always but sounds like they’ve got some work to do on this Cube.
Great video…thank you! I have just become a patron, something I should have done ages ago! It’s a tiny price to pay back for all the amazing information and help I have gotten from Troypoint.
Again, many thanks😊
Thank you for the support. We appreciate you.

No problems on my S20+ 5G.
Check your Bluetooth settings.
I had a pair of earbuds in the charger and one was staying on all the time and not charging. Drove me crazy till I checked my Bluetooth settings and saw they were still connected to my phone.
Thanks Troy for the review.
Thank you for anther great review. The storage issue makes this a no for me. I was considering purchasing the cube because of ability to use usb for internal storage.
Hearing the video with no problems on my samsung note 10+
WELCOME @kapete !!!
You’ll never regret becoming a Patron‼️
Good luck 
I had no trouble formatting 128 KB of external USB storage and moving many apps to it.
Sorry, I meant internal storage. My bad.
I agree. Scopeed storage appears to be with fire devices and android. With android 11 we really see the issues that google says is good but we know better. However nvidea seems to have adopted and mastered the storage issues. Im still blown away on how the shield just works with very little issues but others including fire devices not so much. Grab an android 9 and most 10 devices work better.
I have Cube 2nd Gen and although I don’t load apps onto my USB Storage, I am able to record my tv programs from TIVIMATE onto the USB Storage without any issues. My reason to update would be have the option to use an ethernet cable. But I understand that it is only a 100 and my question is it worth it to upgrade just for having an ethernet option?
Like they say if it works don’t fix it 
I always prefer devices with gb ethernet and ample usb storage options built in. But if what you have does the job hold out until you cant 
…
There is an Amazon Ethernet Adapter than you can use on the 2nd gen. The switch is only 10/100 but depending on you ISPs speed that’s plenty for almost anything. The only reason I would get one is if I had bad WiFi interference.
@Miki seen this on aft,
A middle-ground solution has always been to use a third-party external USB Gigabit Ethernet adapter with Fire TVs. With an external Gigabit Ethernet adapter, you still won’t be able to achieve Gigabit speeds, due to the USB 2.0 connection limiting you to 480 Mbps which translates to around 300 Mbps in real-world use.
Since the Fire TV Cube 3 cuts power to its USB port while sleeping, it means the Cube will have no network connection while asleep if you rely on an external ethernet adapter of any kind.
