Amazon is on point this year with their new range of Alexa Echo smart home assistant devices.
Recently I covered off their new Echo Show 5, and hot off the heels from that is this year’s Echo Spot.
Designed to fit subtly in any decor, the new Echo Spot is almost half touch screen and front facing 1.7 inch directional speaker.
Still retaining the same round shape it is slightly tilted upwards, so that no matter what angle, the 2.83-inch screen is always visible.
The top of the all-new Echo Spot has the usual volume control toggle buttons.
Connecting up you will need to use the Amazon Alexa app.
Once you go in to ‘Add a Alexa device’ the app will automatically pick up the new Echo Spot and it’s seamless from there.
You can opt to set up manually from the touch screen – but this is fiddly. Use the app.
Customizable, the new Echo Spot boasts a few clock options and also has some very unique animations on screen, whether you’re using Alexa to entertain or streaming music.
The volume and clarity of the speaker is phenomenal.
Slated as being a bedside smart device, you can easily rock out in a small to mid sized room just with this tiny Alexa powered device, which also be used as a Bluetooth speaker.
Taking up minimal space, the Echo Spot is a worthy entry level smart home assistant if you have not gotten yourself in to any Alexa device before. Same if you currently own the last gen of Echo Spot. This 2024 model is a worthy upgrade.
Alexa is THE AI assistant to have, quick with wit, humour, info and more, Alexa is the AI that others hope to be when they grow up.
The new Echo Spot is the perfect side-kick to keep you organized, give you reminders, play your fav tunes or sleep next to.
