Smart speakers are becoming one of the most popular products this year, especially with the great seasons that we are going through at home and the connectivity needs of these times. That is why Amazon has wanted to take the opportunity to renew the range Echo in almost all its possibilities.

We then start with the Echo Dot, Amazon's most popular speaker that has changed in design and qualities almost completely. Discover with us all the news about the new Amazon Echo Dot and why it has all the requirements to become a bestseller this year.

As on other occasions, we have decided to include a video at the top that will show you the unboxing of the device and the configuration, as well as real tests of the sound quality offered by this Amazon Echo Dot. If it has convinced you, you can buy it directly at THIS LINK the best price. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel and leave us a big Like.

Design: A radical change

This Amazon Echo Dot does not seem at all the small and flat speaker we were used to, and to be honest, this radical change by Amazon seems to me a total success. It is still mainly constructed of plastic and braided nylon, but this time it has grown remarkably in size.

You will be able to purchase the model without a watch at black, blue and white, while for the model with a watch we only have white and blue available. We are analyzing both simultaneously as the only difference is the small LED screen.

• Size: 100 x 100 x 89 mm
• Weight:
  • With watch: 328 grams
  • Without watch: 338 grams

The non-slip rubber base It helps us a lot not to suffer aberrations in the sound quality. In the same way the LED has gone to the lower part, creating a much more pleasant halo effect.

Broadly speaking, the renewal of the design of the fourth generation Amazon Echo Dot seems like a total success, Except that we can no longer use accessories to leave it on the wall and it will require being placed on a table or shelf.

Technical characteristics and connectivity

This new Amazon Echo Dot has WiFi ac connectivity that allows us to connect both in 2,4 GHz networks and in 5 GHz networks. In our tests we have not found connection problems or WiFi range. In the same way, it mounts Bluetooth for direct connections, as in its previous version.

For its part, in one of the versions we have a small LED screen which is mainly aimed at offering us information about the time, although in certain situations it also offers us information in the form of a message. This screen can be adjusted in brightness to offer a "night" mode that avoids discomfort when sleeping.

• 3,5mm Jack input.

At the top we have the four typical buttons of the Echo range: Mute microphones; Invoke Alexa; Turn up the volume; Lower volume. In this way, information will be offered to us through the lower LED, warning that the microphones are off in red; That we have activated Alexa in blue; That we raise or lower the volume in blue; The lack of connection in orange and the pending notifications in yellow.

To operate the device, it incorporates a proprietary 15W white power adapter for all versions and that it has grown a lot in size with respect to the previous version of the device, although now it is unified in size with the rest of the brand's power adapters. In these sections the Amazon Echo Dot does not differ too much from its brother in the previous version.

Sound quality

The audio quality has been increased in this model, we imagine that due to the size of the speaker and its redesign. The Amazon Echo Dot was until now a speaker that served little less than to interact with Alexa quickly but not notable for sound quality. In this case, the new model can at least get us out of the odd trouble.

We have a 1,6 inch speaker without any added woofer level which obviously affects the bass performance.

At maximum volume, the device offers some aberrations that become somewhat unbearable, something to be expected from a device of this size and with these characteristics. Sincerely, This Amazon Echo Dot does not stand out for the quality of its sound, but now it offers enough performance to provide ambient sound in the office or a small room.

That is why, given its characteristics, it can become a success somewhat superior to the previous model. The microphones, on the other hand, may "not hear us" properly when we have the speaker at maximum volume, although it is clearly not going to be a very common situation.

Editor setup and experience

You can take a look at how easy this new Amazon Echo Dot is to configure through the video that we have embedded in the upper part, but in short, these are the steps you must follow:

• Open the Alexa app on your compatible device (iPhone / Android)
• Plug in the Amazon Echo Dot and wait for the LED to show orange
• Click on "add" in the upper right corner
• Select the Amazon Echo Dot from the list
• Wait for it to appear and give it authorization to connect your WiFi network
• When the light turns blue it is fully set

This Amazon Echo Dot has all the features to make an ideal Christmas gift. It does not offer a high price, but it has grown compared to the previous model, we have the fourth generation Amazon Echo Dot from € 59,99 (BUY NOW) and the Amazon Echo Dot with built-in clock from € 69,99 (BUY NOW). Without a doubt, if you are thinking of placing it on a bedside table or office, the model with a built-in clock is the most attractive.
