A year ago, Amazon significantly expanded its catalog of devices, both by new generations of some already existing ones, and by surprising news such as Astro, today an e-commerce giant, and also from other areas of business in which it also has well-known consolidation, again organized the action at which he confirms it again her commitment to the facilities is extremely strong.

The highlight of the event was, of course, the presentation of the Kindle Scribe, the first version of Amazon eReader with typing functionality. Its arrival on the Spanish market is scheduled for November 30, although it can already be reserved, with the first deliveries scheduled for December 2. Its price starts at 369.99 euros for a version with a capacity of 16 gigabytes and a basic pencil. Undoubtedly, it is the most talked-about device of the entire event. But that doesn’t mean he was the only one. On the contrary, five more devices will soon arrive in Spain, to which we can add the ones introduced today for other markets.

Amazon launches in Spain

Let’s start with the devices that already have a price and an arrival date with us, four of them are available for pre-sale and the fifth is already on sale.

Echo Studio

The pinnacle of Amazon’s smart speaker line takes a new evolutionary leap with this Echo Studio 2022. It consists of five speakers that, thanks to the new technology of spatial sound processing and the expansion of the frequency range, provide more immersive sound than ever before. For quality audio lovers, it also has the features of the Echo device, such as Alexa integration, control of Zigbee-compatible devices and home infrastructure, etc. The anthracite color model is available now for €199.99 and the new white color is available for pre-order from today and it will start shipping next month.

Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock (5th generation)

Arguably the most popular, well-known and versatile of Amazon’s smart speakers, the Echo Dot, along with its clock version, are entering their fifth generation. As the main novelties compared to previous models, we find improvements in the quality of sound reproduction, as well as a new, more efficient thermometer, which will therefore be more reliable for assigning actions associated with specific temperatures. Both the Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock are available in black and white and can be pre-ordered now and will start shipping in October. Their prices are 59.99 euros and 69.99 euros.

Fire TV Cube (3rd Gen)

If the Echo Studio marks the top of Amazon when it comes to speakers, we can say exactly the same about the Fire TV Cube when it comes to media players. With an octa-core SoC (four cores at 2.2 GHz and four at 2.0 GHz) and two gigabytes of RAM, which are complemented by 16 storage spaces, we get double the performance of the already very efficient Fire TV Stick 4K Max.

Able to play 4K video, supports Dolby Vision, HDR, to which we add Dolby Atmos in the sound section. To guarantee maximum connection speed, it has WiFi 6E and voice control via Alexa will allow us to control not only the player, but also the TV, soundbar and other receivers of yours with just your voice and from anywhere in the world. room. The Fire TV Cube is available for pre-order now and will hit the market at the end of October. Its price is 159.99 euros.

Alexa Pro voice control

Although all Fire TV devices have a remote control, the evolution of the platform and the appearance of the different versions has led to some more basic and others much more advanced. Amazon therefore offers it for sale separately, with the intention that all users who want it can have the most advanced command. It is compatible with most Fire TV devices (not compatible with Fire TV 1st and 2nd generation or Fire TV Stick 1st generation) and in addition to controlling the player, it also integrates Alexa, has backlit buttons and integrates concontrols for TV. Alexa Pro voice control it is available to reserve from today for €39.99 and will go on sale in mid-November.

Fire TV is coming to the Echo Show on the 15th

It’s not a new device, but it’s good news for users of one. And from now on, Echo Show 15 users will be able to access Fire TV content through a free update. In Spain, customers will be able to search, explore and watch thousands of movies and series from services such as Movistar+, RTVE Play or ATRESplayer, among others.

further notice

Let’s now take a look at other devices (and their updates) that, although they will not arrive in Spain in principle, at least in the short term, show us what Amazon is working on and also make us teeth in some cases. a bit long. And I’ll admit that there are some new ones that actually made me want to be on the other side of the pond for a few minutes because they were tempting.

rise halo

I will personally admit that it is one of the ads that caught my attention the most. We basically find ourselves in front of an alarm clock, something that I find interesting in itself. And yes, I know that the common people of us now wake up with an alarm clock on our smartphone, but restoring the “classic” alarm clock and integrating it into a lamp is an idea that appeals to me.

But of course, it’s actually much more than that, because Halo Rise is a dream quantifier that it tracks body movement and breathing, as well as ambient temperature, humidity and light. It has an intelligent alarm that detects the moment in which we are in the most suitable phase of sleep to wake up and, based on the information obtained, offers us recommendations to improve it. And all this without the need to put on a bracelet, watch, sensor, etc.

Echo Auto (2nd generation)

Amazon’s smartest move to expand the Echo ecosystem beyond the home is undoubtedly the Echo Auto, an Alexa-powered handsfree that can bring Amazon into our cars. Still without date and price (only generic «Coming soon»), this second generation has a more practical design for my taste and allows for a simpler and more universal mounting-fixation, which also adds new integrations with services and, without a doubt, the most important and noteworthy is the new roadside assistance service.

cameras

Surveillance and security systems are another of Amazon’s strengths, and at this event they added three new models to their already extensive and versatile catalog: Ring Spotlight Cam Pro, Blink Mini Pam Tilt and Blink Wired Floodlight Camera.

Fire TV Omni QLED series

And why settle for small and medium screens when you can go big? This question had to be asked on more than one occasion in the Amazon offices, and the more than eloquent answer is two TVs, 65 and 75 inches, built with QLED panels with 4K resolution and compatible with adaptive Dolby Vision IQ HDR10+, HDR 10 and HLG. And of course you will take it for granted and you are not wrong, with the integration of Alexa and all Amazon services that we find in the rest of the Fire TV device.
