Step 1: Check the Physical Appearance

The first-generation Firestick has a rectangular shape, while the second-generation has a small HDMI dongle with a small HDMI cable. The third-generation Firestick has a rectangular shape, but the remote has an Alexa voice button.
Step 2: Check the Settings
Another way to identify your Firestick model is to check the settings. Go to “Settings” and click on “My Fire TV.” Click on “About” and look for the “Model” or “Hardware Version” option. It will display the model number of your Firestick.
Step 3: Check the Remote
The remote is another way to identify your Firestick model. The first-generation Firestick remote does not have a voice button. The second and third-generation Firestick remote has an Alexa voice button.
Step 4: Check the Packaging
If you still have the packaging, check the label for the model number. The model number will be printed on the label.
Step 5: Check the Serial Number
The serial number can also help identify the Firestick model. Go to “Settings” and click on “My Fire TV.” Click on “About” and look for the “Serial Number” option. Enter the serial number on the Amazon website to identify the Firestick model.
Step 6: Contact Amazon Support
