Amazon Announces New Echo Studio Speaker and Three New Echo Dots; see prices

This Wednesday (28) is being marked by important announcements made by Amazon in its division of devices aimed at the smart home with the update of different product lines. One of the categories that received news is Echo, a segment known for bringing together speakers and watches with Alexa, the company’s popular personal assistant.

As the manufacturer explains, the new generation of Echo Dot and Echo Auto devices bring important improvements to the internal hardware to improve users’ experience with the company’s ecosystem. Among the accessories revealed are the new Echo Studio speaker and new Echo Dots.

“With updated audio and compact form factors, each of these new devices gives customers more ways to make Alexa a seamless part of their day,” said Nedim Fresko, vice president of Amazon Alexa Devices.

New Echo Dots

Keeping a design similar to the previous generation, the new Echo Dots come in two versions that share similar characteristics, but bring an important difference to users: the cheaper model does not have an integrated clock, while the more robust variant offers this feature to users. .

In a press release, Amazon reinforces that both devices feature a redesigned audio architecture and custom driver providing “clear vocals and up to twice the bass of the previous generation”. In addition to the improvements in the speakers, the new line also brings improved sensors adding new gesture commands.

Both the regular and watch version are powered by the AZ2 Neural Edge processor capable of decreasing response time for touch gestures, ultrasound motion detection and on-device execution for some of the most common Alexa requests.

Ahead, the watch model lands with upgraded high-density dot technology allowing you to view information on the dial faster, such as the name of a song title or artist, the time, a calculation or unit of measurement, calendar event times and more.

Finally, the Echo Dots division also received a Kids variant with a design specially designed for children, inspired by the characters Owl and Dragon. Look:

  • Echo Dot with Watch: $59.99 (~ R$ 320);
  • Echo Dot Kids: $59.99 (~ R$ 320).
New Echo Studio

The new generation of the Amazon Echo Studio speaker stands out for including new spatial audio processing technology and frequency range extension, a tool that enhances stereo sound making music and movie soundtracks “feel closer” of the listener with greater breadth, clarity and presence”.

With the novelty, the voices must remain more in the center, while musical instruments will have the sound perception present on the sides of the device. According to the company, the speaker comes in two colors (white glacier and Charcoal) with a MSRP of $200, about $1,070 in direct conversion).
