Keep the household organised - with customisable widgets and calendar integration

Customisable widgets surface calendars, to-do lists, local weather, news and photos on the home screen, with the ability to invite family and friends to share images. Auto-curation keeps the photo feed fresh without manual sorting.

Quickly see who has appointments, what needs doing and which photos are shared, making daily planning a visual, centralised task rather than scattered notes and apps.

Stream and watch without extra kit - thanks to built-in Fire TV and remote

Built-in Fire TV provides direct access to apps such as Prime Video, Netflix and YouTube, and the included Fire TV remote controls playback and navigation. Active Media lets audio start in one room and be added to other rooms on the fly.

Start films, follow recipe videos or listen to music from the kitchen without needing an additional media player, and expand audio to other rooms when required.

More natural video calls - with a centred auto-framing camera and noise reduction

A centred camera uses auto-framing and a wide field of vision with 3.3x zoom, while noise reduction technology improves call clarity. Built-in features aim to keep the caller centred as they move around the frame.

Video calls feel less staged and more conversational, with family members remaining in view during busy kitchen or living-room chats.
