Amazon Echo features
Amazon Echo sheds its tower design for a spherical form-factor and the ring light has been repositioned to the bottom in order to create a reflective effect when placed on a table or any surface. It is powered by the AZ1 Neural Edge processor that's designed to boost machine learning on the smart speakers allowing the Echo to process speech much faster.
The 4th generation Echo is fitted with 3-inch woofers and dual tweeters that makes this speaker capable of delivering great sound quality with clear audio and deep bass profile. The new Echo also comes with Zigbee smart home hub and supports Bluetooth Low Energy mode.
Amazon Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock features
Amazon Echo Dot is a smaller, slightly toned-down version of the Echo smart speaker as it also adopts the new spherical design. It is fairly compact and the blue colour fabric finish does look stylish. The Echo Dot features a 1.6-inch speaker unit that produces clear audio with balanced bass for your bedroom.
The Echo Dot with Clock adds an LED display under the spherical design that shows the time, temperature, alarm information and more.
Amazon has also announced that all its Echo devices are built with 100% recycled fabric, aluminium and plastic.
