Amazon Echo devices have become, in just a few years, a reference point and aA very successful proposal from the companyfollowing the also 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 that quickly, especially if you already have gray hair, but it is better to leave this reflection 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 functions and services around them, something that is not an innocent concession to the user either, since in many cases this greatly facilitates their use to carry out all kinds of shopping around them, from digital books to subscriptions to the company’s services. In other words, there is a lot of intelligence behind these devices.
This does not mean, of course, that it is also a five-star value for money, since its operation is excellent. Whether we are talking about any of the devices belonging to the Echo family, the Kindle eReaders or the Amazon Fire, to name just a few of them, they are chosen, generation after generation, by a large number of users who have already been widely satisfied by the predecessor versions. of the same or by any other device of the brand.
This explains that the company continually check your devices, which are often updated with a new generation, in many cases annually or biennially, keeping them up to date. In addition, and unlike what we see in many other technology companies dedicated to devices, it is common for them to also keep in their catalog a version prior to the current one of some of these devices, with prices that put them within the reach of any pocket.
Thus, today we find news in the Amazon Echo family, specifically with the new versions of the Echo Show 5 and Echo Auto, and with an addition to it, the new Echo Pop. Let’s see, below, what each one offers us from them.
Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd generation)
The Echo Show devices, and especially the five-inch model, is one of Amazon’s most interesting proposals, as well as being one of the most tempting gateways to the ecosystem made up of Alexa and the company’s services. The combination of its small size, its screen and its speaker, along with the integration of Alexa, Amazon’s virtual assistant, make this device eFind accommodation in virtually any locationfrom the bedside table where it can act as an alarm clock, to the kitchen, where it can be used to listen to music, see recipes, etc.
This third generation of the Echo Show has, as its main novelties, an improvement in its components that increases its speed by 20% compared to the predecessor generation, and a profound redesign of both its speakers and its 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 will go on sale on May 31, but it is already possible to reserve it on its website. It is available in three colors (anthracite, white and bluish grey) and its price is €109.99.
Amazon Echo Auto (2nd generation)
Although when talking about Amazon Echo devices one usually thinks of proposals aimed at the home, the company was able to expand its reach with the launch of the first version of the Echo Auto, which debuted on the Spanish market nearly 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 practical if it does not have Apple CarPlay or Google Android Auto
This second generation Echo Show is, as you can see, considerably thinner than its predecessor, which makes it easy to find a suitable location to place it, which 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 provides voice command access to a huge number of functions, from playing music from our streaming platform to controlling connected devices at home.
The new Amazon Echo Auto is already for 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 the offer of Amazon smart speakers. The first thing that stands out is, without a doubt, its design, since it plays with the sphere format that we already know from the Echo and Echo Dot, but in this case we find ourselves with a half sphere, whose front part is the sound outlet. of the speaker, something that we can already assume translates into offering a remarkably powerful output.
Equipped, like his family companions, with the Amazon AZ2 Neural Edge processor, its small size makes it a very interesting option for small spaces and locations that are also smaller than those we would need for the brand’s other speaker models. For the rest, it does not offer great differences with respect to the previously mentioned models (although it does, like these, with the Echo Studio), but it does offer a different design proposal, and without a doubt quite attractive.
The new Amazon Echo Pop will go on sale on May 31, but it is already possible to reserve it on its website. It is available in four colors (anthracite, white, lavender and teal) and its price is €54.99.
