The Amazon Echo device has become a reference point in a few yearsA very successful proposition for the companyfollowing the equally successful precedent set by the Kindle family, with which Amazon made its first leap into the world of its own devices a whopping 16 years ago (yes, time flies so fast, especially when you’re already gray, but it’s better to leave that consideration aside, at least for now).
There are several reasons that explain the success of Amazon devices, which range from really competitive prices to a large ecosystem of features and services around them, which is also not an innocent concession to users, since in many cases it makes it much easier to use them to make a variety of purchases around, from a digital book to a subscription to a company’s services. In other words, there is a lot of intelligence behind these devices.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s also five-star value for money, as its operation is excellent. Whether we are talking about any of the devices belonging to the Echo family, Kindle e-readers or Amazon Fire to name a few, generation after generation they are chosen by a large number of users who have already been widespread. compatible with previous versions of the same or any other brand device.
This explains that society constantly check your devices, which are often updated with the new generation, in many cases annually or every two years and keep them up to date. In addition, and unlike what we see with many other technology companies dedicated to devices, it is common for them to also keep in their catalog the version before the current version of some of these devices with prices that make them within reach of any pocket.
So today we find news in the Amazon Echo family, specifically with the new versions of Echo Show 5 and Echo Auto and with their addition the new Echo Pop. Let’s see below what each of them offers us.
Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd generation)
The Echo Show device, and the five-inch model in particular, is one of Amazon’s most interesting propositions, as well as one of the most enticing gateways to the ecosystem made up of Alexa and the company’s services. The combination of small size, screen and speaker, along with the integration of Alexa, Amazon’s virtual assistant, make this device eFind accommodation practically anywherefrom the bedside table, where it can function as an alarm clock, to the kitchen, where you can use it to listen to music, view recipes, etc.
This third generation Echo Show has as main news the improvement of its components, which increases its speed by 20% compared to the previous generationand deeply redesigned speakers and microphones. The former are able to provide a better reproduction of lower tones and clearer soundwhile the microphones will allow Show 5 to be used in better conditions as a communication tool.
The new Amazon Echo Show 5 goes on sale on May 31st, but it’s already available for pre-order on its website. It is available in three colors (anthracite, white and blue-grey) and is priced at €109.99.
Amazon Echo Auto (2nd generation)
Although when talking about Amazon Echo devices, designs focused on the home usually come to mind, the company was able to expand its scope with the launch of the first version of the Echo Auto, which debuted on the Spanish market almost three years ago. This was also a very smart move as it allows equip the car with a voice assistant for a more than reasonable pricesomething especially handy if it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay or Google Android Auto
This second generation Echo Show is, as you can see, significantly thinner than its predecessor, which makes it easier to find a suitable place for its location that does not interfere with the normal use of the car. In addition, it offers a new adhesive support that further improves this aspect in particular. It integrates five microphones and gives voice commands access to a huge range of functions, from playing music from our streaming platform to controlling connected devices at home.
The new Amazon Echo Auto is already on sale on its website and its price is €69.99.
Amazon Echopop
The two previous devices are evolutions of other existing ones, but This Echo Pop is a novelty that comes to increase Amazon’s smart speaker offering. The first thing that stands out is undoubtedly its design, because it plays with the spherical format that we already know from Echo and Echo Dot, but in this case we find ourselves with a hemisphere, the front part of which is the sound output of the speaker, something that we can already assume, translates into a remarkably strong output offering.
Equipped, like its family companions, with Amazon AZ2 Neural Edge processor, its small size makes it a very interesting choice for small spaces and places that are at the same time smaller than what we would need for other speaker models of the brand. After all, it doesn’t offer much difference from the previously mentioned models (although like these with Echo Studio it does), but it offers a different design proposal and without a doubt quite attractive.
The new Amazon Echo Pop goes on sale on May 31st, but you can already reserve it on its website. It is available in four colors (anthracite, white, lavender and teal) and is priced at €54.99.
