The Amazon Echo Spot was launched in 2017 and is often overlooked in favor of other smart displays like the Echo Show 5, but here’s why I think it’s the best one to own.
When it comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers, there’s plenty of choice. From the discreet Echo Dot to the booming Echo Studio and the Echo Show with its built-in display, it seems like there’s an Amazon smart speaker for everyone. For me, the Echo Spot remains my favourite Amazon smart speaker. Launched in late 2017, it was the second Amazon smart speaker to feature a screen. However, unlike the Echo Show, it had a spherical design with a petite 2.5-inch display. Amazon branded the device a ‘smart alarm clock’ claiming it was best suited on a bedside tablet, but considering it also included a 0.3MP camera and boasted of the ‘drop-ins’ feature where others with Echo speakers could start a video call with you in seconds, some found it to be a little creepy The Echo Spot is my favourite Echo device of all time. In fact, even though I have several smart speakers in my home, it’s the one I use most. Here’s why I think it’s the best compact smart display Amazon has made to date. I’ll be honest, my Echo Spot has never been near my bedroom.
