Amazon has just announced an additional way to access Alexa with the launch of the all-new Echo Pop; a compact smart speaker available in three colour options to suit any home aesthetic, including two brand new colours.
Echo Pop is a new addition to the Echo family with a compact semi-sphere form factor offering a quality audio experience in all-new Lavender Bloom and Midnight Teal colour options, as well as in Charcoal, at an affordable NZ$89. It features a front-facing directional speaker to deliver full sound that’s great for bedrooms, apartments, or any small space in the home. Simply ask Alexa to play your favourite music or radio station, read audiobooks, remind you of your daily calendar, control compatible smart lights and plugs, or add items to your shopping list. Echo Pop comes in three colours so customers can find a colour that fits their style, find a spot that fits their small space, and play a track that hits just right, totally hands-free with Alexa.
“We are thrilled to be launching the Echo Pop in New Zealand today, making it easier for Kiwis to build a smart home that fits their space and needs,” says Patrick Walker, country manager of Amazon Devices, Australia and New Zealand.
“The Echo Pop’s colour options mean you can find a device to match your home and style, or give as the perfect gift this festive season, while the Alexa integration allows you to take advantage of a number of amazing features. From cooking timers to recipe inspiration, you can create shopping lists, set reminders and check calendar notifications to keep up to date with holiday events, listen to your favourite music, podcast or audiobook from any room in your home, and so much more! It’s why customers around the world interact with Alexa tens of millions of times every hour,” Walker concluded.
Echo devices are designed with customer privacy in mind and include multiple layers of privacy controls. All Echo devices include a microphone on/off button and the ability to view and delete voice recordings via the Alexa app. With Amazon Kids on Alexa, parents can view their child’s activity and manage parental controls in the Parent Dashboard.
The new Echo Pop is available in Charcoal, Midnight Teal and Lavender Bloom from now.
