The second-gen, mini-sized Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker is just as smart as the first at nearly half the cost, and it's better at hearing you, too. It's also the only Echo product you can connect to an existing audio setup
Amazon's Echo products still can't offer audio that syncs across multiple devices in multiple rooms

Abstract: If you are an Amazon Alexa fan and owner, you probably Pre-ordered Amazon Echo Dot like I did and it should have arrived today. Mines arrived and the first thing I did was set her up. Which was surprisingly quick compared to what I remember the first Echo...

Alexa still lags behind Google Assistant on certain things, Basic audio quality isn't particularly good
All things considered, the Echo Dot offers up a strong - and arguably stronger - alternative to the Google Home Mini. It's cheaper than Google's offering, and the ability to connect it to an existing audio setup gives it an added dimension of flexibility...
Bright, auto-dimming easy-to-read clock, Inbuilt 3.5mm jack for easy audio output
No wall mount available (variant without clock), Priced a bit too steeply (variant with clock)
I got a chance to use Google's recently launched Nest Mini around the same time I set the Amazon Echo Dot up for review, so I had enough room for comparison. I personally like the Echo Dot over the Nest Mini because Amazon's Alexa is friendlier to talk to...
