Just like Apple and other top manufacturers of intelligent speakers, Amazon is also in the race of speakers with Alexa and AI. And in this context, Amazon has announced upgrades to the Echo Dot and Echo Plus speakers that will be available for sale next month. The company is proud that the new speakers with Alexa are now equipped with a better sound than their predecessors. Amazon Echo Plus also has some new interesting features.
Amazon updated the Echo Dot and Echo Plus speakers. Their new versions have been introduced and will be available for sale from October 11th. The first speaker costs $50 and the second speaker for $150. So what’s the difference between new models and previous generations?
Amazon Echo Dot and Echo Plus offer better sound quality. In addition, their volume has been increased. The manufacturer explains that the new speakers will play up to 70% louder than the previous ones. The appearance of both models has also been slightly modified, as can be seen from the enclosed renderings. It is worth mentioning that the number of microphones has been reduced from 7 to 4.
Amazon Echo Plus can also serve as a hub for other intelligent devices. There is also a local voice control that allows you to interact with connected devices without an Internet connection. In addition, a temperature sensor has been added that can be used with intelligent thermostats.
The new Amazon speaker is expected to appear in selected stores in a few days.
