You’d also think that, given the larger size of a spherical design, there would be a bigger speaker inside, but instead, it’s the same 1.6-cm sized speaker that was in the gen-3, albeit with the better build quality. With an all-new design, the Echo Dot 4th gen bows down to the idea of a spherical speaker shape being a great design decision, although unlike what you might expect, the sound does not come out in 360 degrees but instead includes a front-facing speaker. Overall, the Echo Dot gen-3 is a nice little smart home device that functions as a speaker and is a great way to dip your toes into the whole idea of smart speakers and smart home control through virtual assistants and is probably one of the better Prime Day Amazon Echo deals that you’re going to find.Īmazon Echo Dot (4th Gen) - $20, was $50 Image used with permission by copyright holder
ECHO SHOW 8 DEALS UPGRADE
There’s also a significant microphone upgrade that bumps the number of microphones on the gen-2 to four microphones on the gen-3, which means that you can do a pretty excellent job of controlling your smart home devices, even over the sound of music playing, although that depends a lot on placement and volume of said music. Since then, though, Alexa has advanced by leaps and bounds, making it much more capable as a virtual assistant. When the Echo Dot gen-3 came out, Amazon’s Alexa wasn’t that smart, to say the least, so the audio quality played a huge part in making it a quality product. The sound is also projected in 360 degrees, rather than out the top as you would find with the Nest mini, and that certainly helps fill out the room, even though it’s not going to compete with a speaker made to only be a speaker. Even better, they wrapped the outside with the cloth mesh material that has become quite common for speakers these days, which is both good and bad, since it looks nice but is more prone to spills and stains, although just being careful around it should fix that issue. Even without the BOGO deal, the Echo Show 5 Kids version is an easy-to-use smart display that's worth a look.You don’t want to miss this Roomba deal - save $28īest appliance package deals: Save on kitchen and laundry setupsīest Buy’s Labor Day deal of the day is $40 off a Google Nest Camīeing slightly more significant than the Echo Dot gen-2, Amazon dropped the logo at the front and made the whole thing a little bit bigger, which means they can put a bigger speaker into the little device to give it much fuller audio than that isn’t tinny or lacks too much bass.
ECHO SHOW 8 DEALS CODE
Applying the BOGO coupon code SHOW5KIDS at checkout effectively halves the per-product price if you buy two. This smart display is the newest model in the Echo Show 5 lineup, so you'll be future-proofed for a few years if you get it at the $100 list price. The display has a 2MP camera for video calls as well, protected by a privacy shutter and a dedicated button to turn off the mics.
The speaker offers all the parental controls in the Amazon parent Dashboard, so you can even restrict the people your child can call using the Echo Show. As a guardian, you get to set daily time limits on the smart speaker’s usage and review said usage. However, this doesn’t mean the smart display loses out on features. The Echo Show 5 also allows children to set their own alarms and control compatible smart lights. Amazon also collaborated with Disney to offer unique Alexa voices, like Mickey, Dory, and Olaf, and their stories. Aside from the obviously colorful visual design that sets your kid's Echo Show apart from the plain ones, children can ask Alexa to read them a bedtime story, help with homework, or just play some music devoid of explicit lyrics.
