Like the Amazon Echo Studio, there isn't much change design-wise with the Amazon Echo Dot. But the company has souped up the internals of both the Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock. Both get a redesigned audio architecture that promises two times the bass of the previous model. These Alexa-powered smart speakers now use Amazon's AZ2 neural edge processor, which allows these speakers to do actions locally.
The Echo Dots also have a new temperature sensor, tap gesture controls, and work as Wi-Fi extenders for an Eero Mesh system. The Echo Dot with Clock has a new brighter LED dot display with a higher resolution for more dynamic, glanceable information. You can now get a scrolling view of song titles and artists when listening to music, checking the weather, calendar events, or calculations.
The Amazon Echo Dot comes in a new deep sea blue colour, while the Amazon Echo Dot with Clock has a new cloud blue option. The Echo Dot retails for $69.99, while the Echo Dot with Clock goes for $79.99. There are also new Echo Dot Kids with owl and dragon designs for $79.99.
