Amazon has just introduced its latest smart speaker/alarm clock called the Echo Spot. The new Amazon Echo Spot has arrived just a few days ahead of the upcoming Amazon Prime Day 2024 sale. Just like its 2017 counterpart, the new Echo Spot is designed to be your nightstand tech buddy. The Alexa-connected smart speaker has a small touchscreen and supports all the voice controls of the previous Echo devices.
The new Amazon Echo Spot speaker offers better visuals and improved audio
According to the official press release, the Amazon Echo Spot 2024 speaker offers “even better visuals and improved audio quality.” Similar to the Echo Dot or other Echo products, the latest Echo Spot variant lets you control IoT devices spread across your smart home. The new offering flaunts a 1.73-inch front-firing direction speaker. It delivers “clear vocals and deep bass,” as per Amazon.
While the previous variant of the Echo Spot was launched with a full circular screen, the new version’s display is split in half. Amazon has removed a camera from the latest offering. For more privacy, the new speaker has a hardware button to turn the microphone off. Furthermore, there are physical volume control buttons onboard the new model.
The new Echo Spot lets you see time, weather, and song titles at a glance on its small screen. You can personalize your display with a clock face or multiple fun colors. The speaker allows you to customize the display to fit the aesthetic of your room. You can choose from as many as six different colorways – Orange, Violet, Magenta, Lime, Teal, and Blue. Besides, the device also allows you to mix and match colors with several clock faces.
Amazon is offering the latest Echo Spot with more than 40 percent discount for Prime users
The Echo Spot 2024 speaker is priced at $79.99. It is significantly less than the $149.99 2017 version at the launch. However, during the Prime Day 2024 sale on July 16 and July 17, Prime members can get it with a discount of more than 40 percent. It will be available for just $44.99 for these users. The new smart speaker from the brand will be available in Black, Glacier White, and Ocean Blue hues.
