The display doesn't really do an awful lot

Abstract: It's hard to imagine this headline being written even five years ago, but Bluetooth audio quality has made great strides. You'll still need to spend more money for a high-fidelity listening experience, but the audio delivered by today's sub-$100 portable...
Top features, 24x7 LED clock, Quick response, Good audio

Abstract: Unlike Echo 5, this one isn't a smart display. The LED display peeking out of the fabric only displays time, timer countdown, temperature and the volume level. The subtle LED display is just perfect - especially when you are checking the time at night. Am...
The new Echo Dot with Clock doesn’t offer much else new over the third-generation Echo Dot. Still, I think you should check out the new Echo Dot. The clock adds Rs 1,499 to the price, but I think it’s worth it. The ability to see the time by looking at th...

Good design, Improved audio quality, Useful smart home features
Could do with more bass,
The new Amazon Echo Dot is a good way of starting off with a smart speaker for your home. Since Amazon has launched the new Echo Dot and Echo Plus at the same prices as their respective predecessors, it would make sense to go for these.If you are on a str...
is quite simple: If you've never bought a smart speaker before and are curious as to what's on offer, the Amazon Echo Dot is the right entry point in this segment. At Rs 4,499 it's not priced too badly either. Be prepared for a learning curve though.If y...
