Echo Dot (first-gen), now just $19.99 ($20 off) The Echo Dot is essentially the top part the original Amazon Echo, without the powerful speaker underneath it. Instead, the Echo Dot can be hooked up to external speakers, bringing Alexa to any music device. View the Echo Dot (first-gen) deal on Amazon
Echo Dot (second-gen), now just $24 ($25.99 off) Echo Dot has been amazingly popular and now there’s a new version, redesigned to ditch the hard plastic with a nicer design. It’s a larger diameter than the original model it replaces and that gives space for a new 1.6-inch speaker, which sounds so much better. View the Echo Dot (second-gen) deal on Amazon
Echo (second-gen), now just $69 ($30.99 off) Amazon retired the original Echo model in 2017 and replaced it with a new connected Alexa speaker that’s shorter and comes with a range of different finishes for a nicer, more contemporary, look. View the Echo (second-gen) deal on Amazon
Echo Plus (second-gen), now just $109.99 ($40 off) The original Echo Plus with a tall plastic design is now dead, with the new Echo Plus taking a shorter, wider stance, with a cloth-covered exterior. It now matches the second-gen Echo better, with a choice of fabric colours and sounds a lot better. It’s our favorite Echo device. View the Echo Plus (second-gen) deal on Amazon
Echo Show (second-gen), now just $179.99 ($50 off) There’s a new Echo Show in town, expanding the display over the original model and moving the speakers to the side. The aim is a better audio and visual experience in a better-designed device, and that’s what you get. View the Echo Show (second-gen) deal on Amazon
Echo Spot, now just $89.99 ($40 off) The Amazon Echo Spot is what you’d get if you cross the Echo Show with the Echo Dot. It’s a compact Echo to sit beside your bed for alarms. It has a small 2.5-inch screen, which can be used for basic tasks and skills, like music, but it does a lot more. View the Echo Spot deal on Amazon
Amazon Smart Plug, now just $5 with purchase of an Echo device The Amazon Smart Plug is interesting because it can add Alexa voice control to any electrical socket – the first such device from Amazon itself. It’s too cheap to ignore. View the Amazon Smart Plug deal on Amazon Choose the right Echo for you
There are several versions of the Echo smart speaker available, giving you plenty of choice in price and performance – here’s a rundown of all the Echo devices that are available. Pocket-lint New Amazon Echo (2nd generation) Price: $99.99 from Amazon US| £54.99 from Amazon UK Dimensions: 148.5 x 88 x 88mm, 820g Audio: 2.5-inch woofer and 0.6-inch tweeter
Amazon Echo is a new version of the original smart speaker with Alexa. It’s cheaper than its predecessor which is great, but if you’re after top-notch sound quality then go for the Echo Plus (below). Pocket-lint Amazon Echo Plus (2nd generation) Price: $149.99 from Amazon US | £139.99 from Amazon UK Dimensions: 148 x 99 x 99mm, 780g Audio: 3.0-inch neodymium woofer and 0.8-inch tweeter
Amazon newly-released second-generation Echo Plus offers excellent Dolby-enhanced sound that’s a vast improvement over the standard Echo. Echo Plus has all the Alexa skills you know and love but it’s a much more capable smart home controller, thanks to the inclusion of Zigbee. Pocket-lint Amazon Echo Dot (3rd generation) Price: $49.99 from Amazon US | £24.99 from Amazon UK Dimensions: 43 x 99 x 99 mm, 300mm Audio: Built-in speaker, 3.5 mm stereo audio output for use with external speakers
Echo Dot is a small cylinder that has recently been redesigned with a much punchier speaker than the previous generation so it can now be used for music in a small space. There’s a 3.5mm audio jack and Bluetooth to make other devices smart (if this is all you want then see below). It’s basically just the top section of the Amazon Echo and it can do all the same stuff.
The second-generation Echo Dot is still available if you snap up one quickly. Get this if you don’t need to use Echo Dot as a music speaker. $39.99 from Amazon US | £39.99 from Amazon UK – it offers the same functionality as the Echo Input but with a tiny speaker. Don’t know what the Input is? See below… Amazon Echo Input Price: $34.99 from Amazon US | £34.99 from Amazon UK Dimensions: 14 x 80 x 80mm, 79g Audio: None
Announced as part of Amazon’s big Echo refresh in September, the Echo Input is like an Echo Dot but without any type of speaker inside. It’s literally for bringing Alexa to another speaker that has its own power source and there is a 3.5mm input (it’s like the Chromecast Audio). We’d expect the price to drop as it is a little more expensive than the Chromecast. Pocket-lint Amazon Echo Show (2nd generation) Price: £229.99 from Amazon US | £199.99 from Amazon UK Dimensions: 246 x 174 x 107mm, 1.75kg Camera: 5-megapixel sensor Audio: 8-microphone array, dual 2-inch stereo speakers
The Echo Show is a touchscreen device with built-in Alexa and it can do everything the other Echos can but there’s a built-in display to show you more information such as a full weather report, recipes and, even, the image from your Ring Video Doorbell. Skype support is also coming. The second generation introduced far punchier sound and a larger display, too. Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition Price $79.99 from Amazon US – it’s not yet available in the UK Dimensions: 38 x 90 x 90mm, 191g A udio: 0.6-inch tweeter
This is another version of the 2nd generation Echo Dot but it’s tailored for use by children and has a colourful case (red/green/blue). It has a 2-year guarantee, so if it gets broken it will be replaced. The price premium is because it comes with 1-year of FreeTime Unlimited, which includes ad-free music, access to age-appropriate audio books, kids character alarms and apps – as well as things like explicit lyric filtering and voice shopping turned off. Amazon Echo Spot Availability: $129.99 from Amazon US | £119.99 from Amazon UK Dimensions: 32 x 84 x 84mm, 163g Audio: Built-in speaker, 3.5mm stereo audio output
The Amazon Echo Spot is like a smaller version of the Echo Show. Or the Echo Dot with a 2.5-inch screen, if you like. It’s designed as a bedside device really so Alexa can wake you up each day. Like the Echo Show it can be used to make video calls, with a front camera. Amazon Echo Look Availability: $199.99 from Amazon US – it’s not available in the UK Camera: 5-megapixel sensor Audio: Built-in microphone array, built-in speaker
This Wi-Fi camera that offers full Alexa but also plus hands-free photo and video.
