In anticipation of Prime Day, Amazon unveiled the latest iteration of its Echo Spot, as the company revealed this Monday. The refurbished model of the Alexa-infused smart alarm clock is listed at $79.99, though Prime subscribers can snag it at a promotional price of $44.99.
Amazon touts this most recent version for its enhanced visual display and superior audio performance. Consumers have a choice among three colors: Black, Glacier White, and Ocean Blue.
Tailored for your bedside, the Echo Spot boasts a screen to manage alarms, display time, weather, and song information, and pairs this with a 1.73” speaker aimed at delivering crisp vocals combined with robust bass.
This latest model makes a departure from its 2017 counterpart by omitting the built-in camera, which might appeal to those wary of having a camera-equipped device in their sleeping quarters. The design also evolves from a full circular screen to a divided interface featuring the speaker prominently.
Voice commands via Alexa let users manage alarms and perform tasks like playing songs, making calls, and broadcast household announcements among other functionalities.
Continuing the tradition of personalization, the new Echo Spot offers the ability to customize its appearance with different clock faces and a selection of six hues: magenta, violet, orange, lime, teal, and blue.
Diverging from the Echo Show line, the Echo Spot is tailored for showing animations rather than full videos. For example, inquiring about the weather will prompt Alexa to display visual animations corresponding to the weather conditions on its screen.
Furthermore, the Echo Spot can integrate with compatible smart home gadgets, allowing users to automate household routines efficiently.
