Amazon Echo & Echo Dot | Features, Price


There is no denying that smart speakers, voice-search and AI devices are the future. Anyone who has used a personal home assistant from Google or Amazon knows how handy it is to have these devices. Using nothing but the power of your voice, you can play music, shop online, create a to-do list, surf the web and even control smart-home products. What’s the best part? You do not even have to hunt for your smartphone. Calling out Alexa and getting things done is nothing short of futuristic. However, with both Amazon Echo & Echo Dot offering the same voice assistant - Alexa, read on to find out which one you should get.
Amazon Echo

The Echo is Amazon’s full-sized device that gives you an excellent sound quality without breaking your bank. Think of it as a cylinder-like device, which can blast music for you until the cops come home. With seven microphones for listening and a 360o omnidirectional audio grille for speaking, Amazon Echo does an excellent job of capturing your voice. You can hear it – and it can hear you – perfectly.


 If you’re picky about the speaker matching your existing furniture colour and style, Echo doesn’t disappoint you there either. It comes in six different colour schemes. Walnut and Oak shades with a wooden finish; Metallic Silver; Charcoal, Heather Grey and Sandstone colours in the fabric variant. 3.5 cm in diameter and weighing 1.8 pounds, Echo is heavier than its younger sibling, Echo Dot. 
Simple to set up and use, Echo boasts of various features which include:
  1. Hands-free calling and messaging
  2. Dual speakers
  3. Streaming Wi-Fi music
  4. Far-field voice recognition
  5. 360o Bluetooth speaker
  6. Weather forecast
  7. Local news/traffic updates
  8. Creating to-do/shopping lists
  9. Smart home compatibility
  10. Multiple timers and alarm 
Get your hands on this futuristic device for just Rs. 8999 on Amazon.

Amazon Echo Dot
Echo Dot is a smaller and cheaper version of its big brother, Amazon Echo. The big difference is the disappearance of the beefy speaker in Echo Dot. Weighing less than half a pound, Echo Dot wins the game in terms of portability. To fit into the Dot’s body, the accompanying speaker is pretty small and hence less powerful. Keep in mind that Echo Dot was not designed to deliver great sound. Hence, the output sound is comparable to that of your smartphone.



Dot is available in just two colours – Black and white. If budget is your concern, then get your hands on Dot, which is less than half the price of Echo. In fact, Dot is cheap enough to have one in each room (if you want to be that extravagant). Currently priced at Rs. 4,099 on Amazon, it offers all the functionalities available on Echo.
Smart speakers are booming and it’s time you get one for yourself at the best price from Amazon.in
