Amazon unveiled the next generation Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock, giving you even more ways to bring the convenience of Alexa to every room of your home.
“A true ambient experience is there to simplify your day-to-day life when you need it and fades into the background when you don’t. This generation of Echo devices were designed with that vision in mind,” said Eric Saarnio, Vice President, Amazon Devices International. “With the upgraded audio, and compact form factors, these new devices give customers more ways to make Alexa a seamless part of their day. And, with the new sensor sand technology built in to Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock, customers can have Alexa do even more on their behalf.”
The new Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock are the most powerful Echo devices yet. The redesigned audio architecture incorporates a custom full-range driver and the highest excursion speaker of any Echo Dot, delivering clear vocals and up to twice the bass of the previous generation—all while remaining in the same compact, spherical form factor.
The new sensors in the Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock enable more contextual Alexa experiences, such as the ability to set up routines to ask Alexa to turn on the smart fan when it gets too hot inside. The new generation also includes an accelerometer, which enables new tap gesture controls, such as pause and resume music, dismiss timers, and Drop In.
The upgraded 5×21 LED high-density dot technology in the new Echo Dot with Clock provides a more vibrant and dynamic way to see information at a glance. You can now see the weather, calendar event times, and other information in addition to the time.
Echo devices are built with your privacy in mind, with multiple levels of privacy controls. Echo devices include an on/off microphone switch as well as the ability to view and delete voice recordings.
