Echo Dot Review: how good is Amazon’s 3rd generation of Smart speaker with Alexa?
<strong>Verdict</strong>
When we tested the second generation of Amazon’s Echo Dot, we were forced to conclude that it was not particularly well-suited to playing music. However, in contrast, the third generation of Amazon’s connected speaker is quite good; the newest Echo Dot has vastly improved audio quality. What’s more, given its affordable price, it is unquestionably the most inexpensive way of bringing Alexa into your home. Our only criticism is that it no longer features a customizable plastic shell as previous versions did. Apart from this shortcoming, for its price, the Echo Dot is a near-perfect connected speaker..
<strong>What we liked</strong>
- No HDD, only 256GB storage space
- Poor battery life
- Only one USB 3.0 port
- Not the latest Bluetooth version (v4.0)
Con
- it’s no longer customizable
By launching its Echo Dot, Amazon took a giant leap forward in the field of connected home technology. The Echo Dot is the most affordable way to bring Alexa into your living room and it also makes a great gift.
