Amazon has unveiled a new Echo Spot ahead of the upcoming Prime Day shopping event, reminiscent of the original model released in 2017 but with a revamped design. The new Echo Spot features a split front face showcasing a hemispherical display and speaker, offering a fresh aesthetic from its predecessor. Priced at $80, the updated version is significantly cheaper than the original, with Prime members able to snag it for just $45 during Prime Day.
Available in Black, Glacier White, and Ocean Blue, the Echo Spot’s outer shell can be customized with six different hues and clock faces, allowing for personalized style options. Amazon touts improved sound quality and a sharper display in the latest model, while addressing concerns over potential screen flicker issues that plagued the previous iteration. Notably, the new Echo Spot does not include a camera, catering to users who may have reservations about having a camera in their bedroom.
The new Echo Spot serves as a budget-friendly smart alarm clock that integrates seamlessly with Alexa for various tasks, such as checking the weather forecast or displaying song titles during music playback. As Prime Day approaches, consumers can look forward to exclusive deals on the innovative device, highlighting Amazon’s commitment to offering cutting-edge technology at affordable prices.
