All songs are jumbled up. There is no instruments music in it although I have heard it on other sets. Bad product. Got cheated on this one. Bad buy for an expensive buy.

Still experimenting on different features, third party integration like with you tube could have made it better. Search capability is not that good inspite of the fact that movies are present in the Amazon music database, it fails to find it out and play.

Not worth the hassle. The product was delivered on 7th sep without a remote, replacement was delivered on 9th with a remote tht doesn’t work.@saregama, please ensure the product is tested before it’s sent to anyone and has all the accessories@Amazon, poor customer service you do not haveam option to replace a replaced product. A product that has defects from day one. Now you expect me to request for refund and order again?

I have old firestick, bought this new 4K stick.. to be frank i don’t see any difference eventhough its showing as playing Ultra HD there is no much difference for 1080p and Ultra HD. Sound quality in my sound bar is okay… If you really don’t care about 4K can still buy the old stick..I returned it to save my 6k. I’m 1000% satisfied with my old one.

I have a 🔥TV (non 4K) which I found to be excellent and when the 4K version was stated for release, I pre ordered it. However, I am extremely disappointed with it. I have a 55 inch Android VU TV, 2018 model which supports 4k as evidenced by 4k videos from YouTube but for the fire stick 4k, the brightness and contrast was pre set to a dismal low value. It was too dark to watch. There is nothing in it to adjust my brightness and I gave up and went back to my fire TV non 4k one which atleast looks vibrant and joyful to watch. The 4k one is just appalling. I am sorry but Amazon totally let me down here.

Amazon should allow the previous Fire TV remote users to have a buy back option where they can exchange old generation remote fr a new generation one at a discounted price…

I am using Fire TV Stick from the last 1 year. I am very much happy with the device. It has all the required features to turn your normal TV into smart. Smooth interface with no lags and compatibility with most of the Apps except the Google Apps. It totally does the job for media viewing experience.The major gripe for me with the previous version was1. Requirement to use two remotes.2. Limited Internal Storage (8GB)Amazon decided to deal with the first point and without increase in price. The new remote that has IR feature now, can Turn your TV ON/OFF and control the TV Volume. This is a very practical move which should have been included in the previous version.——–NOTE:——–Do check if your TV supports a Universal Remote for controlling. Not every brand or model does that. So ON/OFF, Volume Control and mute might or might not work.Supported Famous Apps/Games:Prime Video, Prime Music, Hotstar, Netflix, Airtel Cinema, Jio Cinema, Zee5, Viu, Youtube (Via thrid party apps), Firefox, Riptide GP2, Asphalt (But storage won’t be enough), Crossy Roads EtcUnsupported Apps:Google Photos, Google Drive, Facebook, Jio Tv, Airtel Tv, PlaystorePros:1.

The screencast has a slight lag making it difficult for gaming.2. Voice search in the remote works only for the content in Prime Video, Youtube and Browser.3. Not a great game collection.4. Limited storage and no SD card support.5. Slow startup times. (Best to not switch off the adapter)6. No option to add another amazon account. Only one account at a time.Conclusion: If you are ok with using two remotes, you can buy the previous version that is available at discounted price. But if you don’t, then buy this without any hesitation. Either way you will have a great device for your family.I just wish they increased the internal storage atleast in this version.

I bought this after reading the q&a answered by the store and once it arrived i plugged it into my tv and started nothing on screen then plugged it to my desktop monitor using a different cable it started worked well for few minutes but once I opened YouTube everything went down hill from there even 480p video lagged like anything pause won’t work and once touched the box it was hot like toaster wont recommend it.I don’t mean to be rude but the product isn’t worth it’s price or name

Amazing product by Amazon.Got my phone apps mirror caston immediately and then connected to my home router to the box inbuilt wifi…in easy steps….very handy and efficient in turning my led into a smart tv with digital pics and in economy too….excellent..hope it outlast till it gaurantee period.

Don’t buy this version now if you want to play Jio Cinema moves. I am very sad as movies in Jio Cinema aren’t streaming in this advanced version of Amazon firestick though it was working fine in previous version. Media files Jio cinema are alway in buffer mode and not playing at all. Moreover HotStar takes around 10 mins to launch. My WiFi speed is 50 Mbps. I trusted the brand so I bought in relaunch only without checking the review of the device and this made me unhappy with the big brand like amazon. I will return this advanced version and buy the initial version. Prime Video’s are streaming very well that’s why i am giving rating 1.

My original Fire Stick remote magically stopped working 4 days before the launch of Gen 2 remote. The new one works fine. The power and volume control need more work, as its stopped suddenly after having successfully configured with the tv. Ideally Amazon should buy-back old Fire stick/ Alexa devices if they expect us to upgrade.

This is very good hardware and speaker. However very much handicapped by amazon on software front. It can not understand your commands 70-80 percentage times and very limited to amazon music and saavn. However you can not use any of good music apps like wynk, gaana, youtube etc.Also natural language processing is supported in google products but not in this echo.For example when you say-1) where is agra – it gives you correct answer.2) continue with next query like how to reach there ?Then for 2nd query it doesn’t know what to do..This is just an example but most of the times you will find this issue there.Then you can not connect with other populer music etc apps. Have to rely on what amazon thinks os good for you.Amazon music has very limited music base.So looking forward to get more access and integration with alexa however not have much hope since its already such an old plateform that they would have given support if there were any such plans.

This was launched on 11th and I got the product by 12th. Plus the reduced price due to sale and a nice smart bulb for just 500 rupees. Overall I think this was super value for money. I haven’t used any other smart speaker before but I am very happy with my purchase. Below are some observations :1. Initially it feels a bit weird talking to a speaker but you get used to it in no time.2. The sound quality is pretty good. You get good depth of sound with decent bass.3. Several skills available and you will definitely find some very useful. For example adding stuff to shopping list or setting up a reminder.4. Understands the Indian accent very well. Sometimes I am amazed by how well it picks up stuff.6. Kids love it. An added advantage is that they can take help for homework and talking to alexa also motivates them to talk in English

I have a 🔥TV (non 4K) which I found to be excellent and when the 4K version was stated for release, I pre ordered it. However, I am extremely disappointed with it. I have a 55 inch Android VU TV, 2018 model which supports 4k as evidenced by 4k videos from YouTube but for the fire stick 4k, the brightness and contrast was pre set to a dismal low value. It was too dark to watch. There is nothing in it to adjust my brightness and I gave up and went back to my fire TV non 4k one which atleast looks vibrant and joyful to watch. The 4k one is just appalling. I am sorry but Amazon totally let me down here.

Firstly I am the early adopter of the technology and bought Amazon Fire Stick when it was launched, currently using over 7 of them in all my TVs as well as my car, simply love the freedom of watching your favourite entertainment anywhere and everywhere.Now I was too excited to see Amazon launching their 4K fire stick as with due course of time, most of the TVs have been upgraded to 4k, however there so li’l content to watch in UHD, So I ordered this 4K Fire Stick last month when it was announced.Ordering and Delivery :It was such a long wait, It took more a month for Amazon to finally launch it and even more time in delivery, I was really disappointed with long wait and even more when it was available on delivery for next day, but I had to wait as I placed my order earlier. What else there were no discounts or special pricing either on pre-orders, thumbs down to Amazon.Unboxing :I unboxed the 4K Fire Stick when the product was delivered and it was almost similar to my previous Fire sticks only visible differences were the size of this one is slightly bigger (check the pics) and there in no Amazon written on it (previous one had it). Other than that, it’s pretty similar. Remote has few additional buttons, including power on/off (Yes it can switch off your TV as well) and Volume rocker and a mute button, all are very useful and much awaited, however Volume button will only control the volume of your TV, I am not able to make it work on my Bluetooth speakers, overall its welcoming feature.Performance and difference :Now comes the most important part, how does it compares to the previous Fire Stick (2nd Gen), I installed the same on my LG55″ OLED TV to experi. Amazon Prime again has very limited options for 4K/UHD content, however Netflix do stream some interesting content, I played the same on UHD quality and yes there was certainly some improvement in the quality, even the usual content (1080P) was slightly better as reported by my wife, who is addicted to daily soap operas and reality shows. Having said that the difference was not that great, which I was expecting. Moreover when I tried the same on some friend’s low budget UHD TVs, it was minuscule and one cannot makeout any difference in quality of the image or sound. I was expecting it to be faster as the specs are much better than my previous fire sticks, however to my utter surprise, it was infact much slower to browse through different apps and much more laggy in browsing through menus, I just hope maybe some firmware update will improve the same, however in current iteration it feels more like a downgrade than upgrade.Final Verdict :Well if you have a high quality UHD/4K TV, high speed broadband connections (I am using 1gbps connection), Netflix premium subscription, this is your first Fire Stick, techno-head and have an eye for detail, then I would say it’s a worthy pick, for everyone else normal Fire Stick would do just as good. This one definitely comes with additional buttons on remote and was bundled with Alexa, however the later was also added in previous Fire Sticks and stole that advantage as well. Maybe some firmware update in future will improve its performance or some considerable drop in price will make it a compelling buy but till than I am sticking to my previous fire sticks for all other devices.Thanks for reading !Update : The remote is extremely unresponsive, at times doesn’t work at all, or scrolling is continuos (you can’t stop it), already applied for the replacement, will comment once replaced.Update 2: 4K Fire Stick is just getting worse, it hangs even with 1gbps connection and modem less than 1m away from it, even worse it can’t stream movies from my NAS, which is again connected through same Wifi network. Most of the times if losses connectivity from router stating, No network available, surprisingly previous (2nd gen) Fires ticks works flawlessly on the same network, this one is also extremely slow and unresponsive, I have even reset it to factory defaults multiple times and result is same every time. What is more frustrating, that Amazon is not responding for replacement or refund, feeling duped by Amazon this time.Update 3 : After umpteen no. of attempts, endless conversations with customer care and spending hours with their technical support team, today I have finally returned their 4K Fire Stick device, as the review suggests, its totally not worth it, Hopefully Amazon launches a better, lag free, bugs free update and I might go for it, as for now, I have to contempt with the normal fire stick, 4K/UHD content has to wait.

It definitely has better speakers than Eco Dot Gen2 and Google Home Mini, but sound recognition is very poor compared to Google Home Mini or even previous Eco Dot. Maybe it has something to do with cost cutting and Amazon going with only 4 far field microphones instead of 7.But due to it’s poor recognition, it takes a lot of time, sometimes even minutes and does nothing… Which definitely takes away the experience. Unfortunately I can’t return it… But I think Google Home Mini is miles ahead and better with all the new updates to Google Assistant (Sleep assist and stuff).Update as on 27th April 2019: Software has gone from bad to worst. It plays certain songs again and again, doesn’t let you skip. Recognition has also gone from bad to worst, you have to yell for Alexa to understand what you want it to do only for it to tell you it doesn’t understand what you said. And expect no support from Amazon about eco devices, it’s very bad.

Just want to keep this feedback simple. The remote control that comes with the bundle has stopped working in just 2 months of my purchase and isn’t functional inspite of changing the batteries. This is pretty frustrating. No idea what to do. Worst, Amazon sells it separately for Rs 1999.

Remote control batteries drains out in just two days. This is not expected from Amazon!!!. Not sure if the quality test was done, if that is the case, it would have been nice if the remote is rechargable. Please fix it. thanks

I will return this advanced version and buy the initial version. Prime Video’s are streaming very well that’s why i am giving rating 1.

Our son is Hearing Impaired.Prior to viewing movies on Amazon Prime’s Streaming Service our son used to see only the Movies with hardly any knowledge about the dialogues that were going on, with subtitles for the movies he has really started enjoying the movies as well.I appreciate this feature the most.

I have a 🔥TV (non 4K) which I found to be excellent and when the 4K version was stated for release, I pre ordered it. However, I am extremely disappointed with it. I have a 55 inch Android VU TV, 2018 model which supports 4k as evidenced by 4k videos from YouTube but for the fire stick 4k, the brightness and contrast was pre set to a dismal low value. It was too dark to watch. There is nothing in it to adjust my brightness and I gave up and went back to my fire TV non 4k one which atleast looks vibrant and joyful to watch. The 4k one is just appalling. I am sorry but Amazon totally let me down here.

Firstly I am the early adopter of the technology and bought Amazon Fire Stick when it was launched, currently using over 7 of them in all my TVs as well as my car, simply love the freedom of watching your favourite entertainment anywhere and everywhere.Now I was too excited to see Amazon launching their 4K fire stick as with due course of time, most of the TVs have been upgraded to 4k, however there so li’l content to watch in UHD, So I ordered this 4K Fire Stick last month when it was announced.Ordering and Delivery :It was such a long wait, It took more a month for Amazon to finally launch it and even more time in delivery, I was really disappointed with long wait and even more when it was available on delivery for next day, but I had to wait as I placed my order earlier. What else there were no discounts or special pricing either on pre-orders, thumbs down to Amazon.Unboxing :I unboxed the 4K Fire Stick when the product was delivered and it was almost similar to my previous Fire sticks only visible differences were the size of this one is slightly bigger (check the pics) and there in no Amazon written on it (previous one had it). Other than that, it’s pretty similar. Remote has few additional buttons, including power on/off (Yes it can switch off your TV as well) and Volume rocker and a mute button, all are very useful and much awaited, however Volume button will only control the volume of your TV, I am not able to make it work on my Bluetooth speakers, overall its welcoming feature.Performance and difference :Now comes the most important part, how does it compares to the previous Fire Stick (2nd Gen), I installed the same on my LG55″ OLED TV to experi. Amazon Prime again has very limited options for 4K/UHD content, however Netflix do stream some interesting content, I played the same on UHD quality and yes there was certainly some improvement in the quality, even the usual content (1080P) was slightly better as reported by my wife, who is addicted to daily soap operas and reality shows. Having said that the difference was not that great, which I was expecting. Moreover when I tried the same on some friend’s low budget UHD TVs, it was minuscule and one cannot makeout any difference in quality of the image or sound. I was expecting it to be faster as the specs are much better than my previous fire sticks, however to my utter surprise, it was infact much slower to browse through different apps and much more laggy in browsing through menus, I just hope maybe some firmware update will improve the same, however in current iteration it feels more like a downgrade than upgrade.Final Verdict :Well if you have a high quality UHD/4K TV, high speed broadband connections (I am using 1gbps connection), Netflix premium subscription, this is your first Fire Stick, techno-head and have an eye for detail, then I would say it’s a worthy pick, for everyone else normal Fire Stick would do just as good. This one definitely comes with additional buttons on remote and was bundled with Alexa, however the later was also added in previous Fire Sticks and stole that advantage as well. Maybe some firmware update in future will improve its performance or some considerable drop in price will make it a compelling buy but till than I am sticking to my previous fire sticks for all other devices.Thanks for reading !Update : The remote is extremely unresponsive, at times doesn’t work at all, or scrolling is continuos (you can’t stop it), already applied for the replacement, will comment once replaced.Update 2: 4K Fire Stick is just getting worse, it hangs even with 1gbps connection and modem less than 1m away from it, even worse it can’t stream movies from my NAS, which is again connected through same Wifi network. Most of the times if losses connectivity from router stating, No network available, surprisingly previous (2nd gen) Fires ticks works flawlessly on the same network, this one is also extremely slow and unresponsive, I have even reset it to factory defaults multiple times and result is same every time. What is more frustrating, that Amazon is not responding for replacement or refund, feeling duped by Amazon this time.Update 3 : After umpteen no. of attempts, endless conversations with customer care and spending hours with their technical support team, today I have finally returned their 4K Fire Stick device, as the review suggests, its totally not worth it, Hopefully Amazon launches a better, lag free, bugs free update and I might go for it, as for now, I have to contempt with the normal fire stick, 4K/UHD content has to wait.

My original Fire Stick remote magically stopped working 4 days before the launch of Gen 2 remote. The new one works fine. The power and volume control need more work, as its stopped suddenly after having successfully configured with the tv. Ideally Amazon should buy-back old Fire stick/ Alexa devices if they expect us to upgrade.

 I am using Fire TV Stick from the last 1 year. I am very much happy with the device. It has all the required features to turn your normal TV into smart. Smooth interface with no lags and compatibility with most of the Apps except the Google Apps. It totally does the job for media viewing experience.———UPDATE———Video added to show a demo of the interface and Alexa Functionality in the device. Hope it helps.——–NOTE:——–Do check if your TV supports a Universal Remote for controlling. Not every brand or model does that. So ON/OFF, Volume Control and mute might or might not work.The new remote that has IR feature now, can Turn your TV ON/OFF and control the TV Volume. This is a very practical move which should have been included in the previous version.————————————–Supported Famous Apps/Games:————————————–Prime Video, Prime Music, Hotstar, Netflix, Airtel Cinema, Jio Cinema, Zee5, Viu, Youtube (Via thrid party apps), Firefox, Riptide GP2, Asphalt (But storage won’t be enough), Crossy Roads Etc———————–Unsupported Apps:———————–Google Photos, Google Drive, Facebook, Jio Tv, Airtel Tv, Playstore——Pros:——1. Easy to setup.2. Intuitive interface with curated content.3. No stuttering or hangs with good internet speed.4. Supports Phone Mirroring.5. Casting support for Prime Videos, Youtube Videos.6. Option to sideload Apks.7. Very responsive remote.8. Remote app available to control from phone.9. Alexa for voice search.10. Above all, its a stand alone device unlike chromecast.——-Cons:——-1. The screen mirroring has a slight lag, making it not suitable for gaming from phone.2. Voice search in the remote works only for the content in Prime Video.3. Does not have a great game collection.4. Limited storage and no SD card support.5. Slow startup times. (Best to not switch off the adapter)6. No option to add another amazon account. Only one account at a time.————–Conclusion:————– If you are OK with using two remotes, you can buy the previous version that is available at discounted price. But if you don’t, then buy this without any hesitation. Either way you will have a great device for your family.I just wish they increased the internal storage at least in this version. So one star reduced only for that.

Don’t buy this version now if you want to play Jio Cinema moves. I am very sad as movies in Jio Cinema aren’t streaming in this advanced version of Amazon firestick though it was working fine in previous version. Media files Jio cinema are alway in buffer mode and not playing at all. Moreover HotStar takes around 10 mins to launch. My WiFi speed is 50 Mbps.

It definitely has better speakers than Eco Dot Gen2 and Google Home Mini, but sound recognition is very poor compared to Google Home Mini or even previous Eco Dot. Maybe it has something to do with cost cutting and Amazon going with only 4 far field microphones instead of 7.But due to it’s poor recognition, it takes a lot of time, sometimes even minutes and does nothing… Which definitely takes away the experience. Unfortunately I can’t return it… But I think Google Home Mini is miles ahead and better with all the new updates to Google Assistant (Sleep assist and stuff).Update as on 27th April 2019: Software has gone from bad to worst. It plays certain songs again and again, doesn’t let you skip. Recognition has also gone from bad to worst, you have to yell for Alexa to understand what you want it to do only for it to tell you it doesn’t understand what you said. And expect no support from Amazon about eco devices, it’s very bad.

Option to sideload Apks.7. Very responsive remote.8. Remote app available to control from phone.9. Alexa for voice search.10. Above all, its a stand alone device unlike chromecast.——-Cons:——-1. The screen mirroring has a slight lag, making it not suitable for gaming from phone.2. Voice search in the remote works only for the content in Prime Video.3. Does not have a great game collection.4. Limited storage and no SD card support.5. Slow startup times. (Best to not switch off the adapter)6. No option to add another amazon account. Only one account at a time.————–Conclusion:————– If you are OK with using two remotes, you can buy the previous version that is available at discounted price. But if you don’t, then buy this without any hesitation. Either way you will have a great device for your family.I just wish they increased the internal storage at least in this version. So one star reduced only for that.

Don’t buy this version now if you want to play Jio Cinema moves. I am very sad as movies in Jio Cinema aren’t streaming in this advanced version of Amazon firestick though it was working fine in previous version. Media files Jio cinema are alway in buffer mode and not playing at all. Moreover HotStar takes around 10 mins to launch. My WiFi speed is 50 Mbps. I trusted the brand so I bought in relaunch only without checking the review of the device and this made me unhappy with the big brand like amazon. I will return this advanced version and buy the initial version. Prime Video’s are streaming very well that’s why i am giving rating 1.

Our son is Hearing Impaired.Prior to viewing movies on Amazon Prime’s Streaming Service our son used to see only the Movies with hardly any knowledge about the dialogues that were going on, with subtitles for the movies he has really started enjoying the movies as well.I appreciate this feature the most.

This is very good hardware and speaker. However very much handicapped by amazon on software front. It can not understand your commands 70-80 percentage times and very limited to amazon music and saavn. However you can not use any of good music apps like wynk, gaana, youtube etc.Also natural language processing is supported in google products but not in this echo.For example when you say-1) where is agra – it gives you correct answer.2) continue with next query like how to reach there ?Then for 2nd query it doesn’t know what to do..This is just an example but most of the times you will find this issue there.Then you can not connect with other populer music etc apps. Have to rely on what amazon thinks os good for you.Amazon music has very limited music base.So looking forward to get more access and integration with alexa however not have much hope since its already such an old plateform that they would have given support if there were any such plans.

This was launched on 11th and I got the product by 12th. Plus the reduced price due to sale and a nice smart bulb for just 500 rupees. Overall I think this was super value for money. I haven’t used any other smart speaker before but I am very happy with my purchase. Below are some observations :1. Initially it feels a bit weird talking to a speaker but you get used to it in no time.2. The sound quality is pretty good. You get good depth of sound with decent bass.3. Several skills available and you will definitely find some very useful. For example adding stuff to shopping list or setting up a reminder.4. Understands the Indian accent very well. Sometimes I am amazed by how well it picks up stuff.6. Kids love it. An added advantage is that they can take help for homework and talking to alexa also motivates them to talk in English

It definitely has better speakers than Eco Dot Gen2 and Google Home Mini, but sound recognition is very poor compared to Google Home Mini or even previous Eco Dot. Maybe it has something to do with cost cutting and Amazon going with only 4 far field microphones instead of 7.But due to it’s poor recognition, it takes a lot of time, sometimes even minutes and does nothing… Which definitely takes away the experience. Unfortunately I can’t return it… But I think Google Home Mini is miles ahead and better with all the new updates to Google Assistant (Sleep assist and stuff).Update as on 27th April 2019: Software has gone from bad to worst. It plays certain songs again and again, doesn’t let you skip. Recognition has also gone from bad to worst, you have to yell for Alexa to understand what you want it to do only for it to tell you it doesn’t understand what you said. And expect no support from Amazon about eco devices, it’s very bad.

 I am using Fire TV Stick from the last 1 year. I am very much happy with the device. It has all the required features to turn your normal TV into smart. Smooth interface with no lags and compatibility with most of the Apps except the Google Apps. It totally does the job for media viewing experience.———UPDATE———Video added to show a demo of the interface and Alexa Functionality in the device. Hope it helps.——–NOTE:——–Do check if your TV supports a Universal Remote for controlling. Not every brand or model does that. So ON/OFF, Volume Control and mute might or might not work.The new remote that has IR feature now, can Turn your TV ON/OFF and control the TV Volume. This is a very practical move which should have been included in the previous version.————————————–Supported Famous Apps/Games:————————————–Prime Video, Prime Music, Hotstar, Netflix, Airtel Cinema, Jio Cinema, Zee5, Viu, Youtube (Via thrid party apps), Firefox, Riptide GP2, Asphalt (But storage won’t be enough), Crossy Roads Etc———————–Unsupported Apps:———————–Google Photos, Google Drive, Facebook, Jio Tv, Airtel Tv, Playstore——Pros:——1.

Lots of Alexa voice commands which is getting responses in echo spot, fire stick is not getting any appropriate response in echo show. Most of the amazon prime videos which I have been viewing in echo spot and fire stick is not available in echo show, so it is a waste of money and most horrible experience is the customer service people don’t know how to fix the problem. They simply saying return my newly received product and now I have returned the initial product and the replacement product is also having same issues. Moreover the replacement product appear refurbished, it is showing multiple evidence of the package being open.So my suggestion is that this product is having multiple software issues, which the experts of amazon dealing with echo show device not aware of it.So in my opinion it is not a right time to purchase because it is having multiple issues in comparison to other echo device like Echo and echo spot, this is my observation as a common man having all the three echo device Echo, Echo spot and echo show.Something is wrong or missing in echo show device. So my suggestion is please don’t buy Echo Show for few days to months until this streaming of various programs of Amazon prime video section play with out any problems. I am regretting now because I have to say multiple times to get the amazon prime video shows and movies to be played in my echo show. Few examples of videos not playing in echo show are Munki and Trunk cartoon video, Shaun the sheep cartoon video, dr House English video series etc

Just want to keep this feedback simple. The remote control that comes with the bundle has stopped working in just 2 months of my purchase and isn’t functional inspite of changing the batteries. This is pretty frustrating. No idea what to do. Worst, Amazon sells it separately for Rs 1999.

Remote control batteries drains out in just two days. This is not expected from Amazon!!!. Not sure if the quality test was done, if that is the case, it would have been nice if the remote is rechargable. Please fix it. thanks
