During CES 2022, Lenovo announced the imminent arrival of its Smart Clock Essential with Alexa and new features.

Last June, Lenovo announced the arrival of its Smart Clock Essential 2. A connected and intelligent alarm clock, which promised to be very useful in the early hours of the day. A few months later, it was the turn of another voice assistant to take over the range. At CES, which is currently taking place in Las Vegas, the brand unveiled the fruit of its new collaboration with Amazon. the Smart Clock Essential with Alexa showed the tip of its nose, as well as the new features it has.

The popularity of the company’s voice assistant is not to be proven, these are all users to whom Lenovo wishes to address. We thus find everything that made the success of the Google version, such as the ability to know the weather, to start playing a song or simply to answer a current question. It is also possible to control your home automation thanks to the sound of your voice, to avoid having to get up to turn on the light, for example.

Lenovo is also adding more specific Amazon commands, such as the ability to add a product to your cart. If at breakfast you are horrified to find that you only have a few of your favorite cereals left, you can ask the assistant to add a new package to your shopping list. It will also be possible to start playing your favorite playlists on Amazon Music.

To differentiate the Google and Alexa versions, Lenovo is also unveiling a brand new design with two different colors. Smart Clock Essential with Alexa will be available in Misty Blue and Clay Red. The brand has also made a material change to suit any interior, with a soft, textured fabric. On the back is a single USB-A port that can be used to charge phones.

Moreover, this Smart Clock Essential is also compatible with the Lenovo wireless charging station. The firm is also adding to its range an Ambient Light Dock, which can be used as a night light (8 light modes) when the clock is placed there.

The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa will be available later this month. It will be marketed in these two colors from $ 59.99.
