    Have you considered a Chromecast?

    Brilliant device. Allows to install most streaming apps directly from the Play Store.

    Is there a newer Chromecast that doesn't need the phone to work it?

    Yes. The new version for the last few years is the Chromecast with Google TV.

    It has a remote control. No need for a phone.

    It also allows you to consolidate all your streaming service accounts and search from one screen for movies, shows, etc.

    chromecast is slow - wait for an amazon sale . you can sideload the rte android tv app on a firestick easily
