Nuked Amazon’s newest echo dot smart speaker does n’t look like a dot. Instead, the new dot is shaped like a ball or an orb. The new design is a notable departure from the look of previous echo dots.
Amazon confirmed to the verge that it’s keeping the older dot in its lineup in part to provide an option for those who want to mount their dot to a wall. An echo Flex, a small Echo speaker that plugs right into a wall outlet, is another option.
The third-gen dot is also the cheaper dot. It’s not sure if the cheaper price is going to stick around.
The dot-shaped dot has surprisingly loud and rich sound for its compact size. The new model could still be a good choice for you.
