amazon has revealed a brand new Echo Spot before Prime Day. It's very similar to the original Echo Spot that came out in 2017 and was amazon-echo-spot-discontinued-2017/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:discontinued two years later;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas” class=”link “>discontinued two years later Except the front face is now split between a hemispherical display and a speaker.
amazon says the new model comes with better sound and a sharper display. Time will tell if the reboot suffers from the same issues. amazon-echo-spot-discontinued-2017/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:screen flicker issues;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas” class=”link “>screen flickering issues Just like its predecessor, the concept is otherwise more or less identical: it's a basic smart alarm clock that, through Alexa integration, can handle a few simple tasks, such as providing the weather forecast or displaying song titles when playing music from your chosen streaming app.
Arguably the best thing about the new Echo Spot is that it doesn't have a camera. The original model had one built in, which was handy for video calls, but not everyone was thrilled about having a camera next to their bed.
The Echo Spot’s outer shell comes in black, glacier white, and ocean blue, and the display can be customized with six shades — magenta, violet, orange, lime, teal, or blue — that can be mixed and matched with various clock faces. The Echo Spot will be available for $80, which is $50 cheaper than the original model. If you’re a Prime member, you can get it for $45 through Prime Day.
