Amazon Fire TV stick review: Connects you to a world of online entertainment

If you haven’t noticed, Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, has steadily made major inroads in the devices segment with its voice-controlled smart speakers, Kindle e-books, not to mention the Fire TV Stick, an amazing piece of technology that lets a user stream new movies, TV shows, music and more online on the TV screen.

Recently, this Jeff Bezos firm launched a new variant of its highly popular streaming media stick, Fire TV Stick, with Alexa Voice Remote and TV Control. Essentially, this means that customers can now find their favourite movies and TV shows on Amazon Prime Video or launch their favourite apps by just asking Alexa. The Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote is priced at `3,999.

Additionally, existing Fire TV Stick customers can purchase the all-new Alexa Voice Remote (with TV control) separately for `1,999 to have the convenience of controlling TV functions from FTV remote itself. “Fire TV Stick has truly bought back entertainment into the living room,” says Jayshree Gururaj, director, Amazon Devices. The new development is that Amazon has made Alexa an integral part of this viewing experience. Amazon officials inform that the Alexa Voice Remote incorporates a significant customer feedback to include TV controls and avoid fumbling for multiple remotes.
