Keep It Simple but Fancy: Echo Dot Is Back

Imagine living in a house where you can control every electronic device without lifting a finger. Imagine having an alarm that serves as a housekeeper who follows each order you make. Imagine leaving home and knowing that your house is safe and sound, and because there is a 24/7 guard that keeps your home safe. The brand new Echo Dot provides all the services above, and does them better with the recently released 4th generation version.

The newly released Echo Dot (4th generation) comes in two colors—glacier white and twilight blue. As always, Echo Dot is the most popular smart speaker with Alexa, the virtual assistant developed by Amazon. With the striking new design, it is also a sleek home decoration and clock. We can see the time directly on Echo Dot from the front-facing speaker.

“Alexa, Play Top Hits”

If you want to make your life easier, Echo Dot is the perfect product. Setting alarm clocks, timers, and thermosets are basics. Playing music, checking the weather, making a call (911 not supported), and even asking Alexa to tell a joke are also effortless. If you want to play a song, all you need is to tel Echo Dot the song, artist,or album in your mind, and it will play the music via Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, or other music platforms that you prefer. What’s more, if you want to know the weather or traffic before leaving home, or set up a reminder and add new events to your calendar, all you need to do is ask and Alexa will tell anything, and do everything you ask.

Echo Dot supports various music platforms for music streaming.

“Alexa, I’m Leaving”

Say “Alexa, I’m leaving,” and Echo Dot will start to detect any unexpected entrance or sounds (i.e. glass breaking), and send notifications to your smartphone. That is, when your kids are at home or when there is no one in the house, you can still be in control when emergencies happen, and call for help immediately. The free feature Alexa Guard Plus takes Alexa to the next level and protects you and your house even when you are not there.

Despite the convenience, privacy may be the top concern for customers. Therefore, Echo Dot is designed with multiple layers of security mechanisms. Every order that the user makes is recorded and uploaded to the Amazon cloud and can be deleted whenever they want. Also, the voice recorder and camera built into in Echo Dot can be disconnected when the users want a peace of mind from time to time.

Make A Choice, and Make A Wise One

One of the greatest differences that separates the 4th generation from the previous Echo Dots is that it is eco-friendly. The upgraded Echo Dot is made of 50% recycled plastic and has a low-power mode to reduce energy consumption. Moreover, 99% of the package is made of recycled materials such as wood-fiber based materials from certain manufacturers that cooperate with Amazon. In order to contribute to the earth, you do not have to be an environmentalist and make a wiser choice when purchasing.

Echo Dot—The Best Choice to Make

All in all, Echo Dot is more than just a new gadget to people’s collections. There are a great number of free features in Echo Dot that are worth digging into. Living in a generation where people are hustling and multi-tasking every day, when people are at home, they deserve to be fully relaxed and enjoy an easier but fancier lifestyle to reward themselves. By voice-controlling the electronic devices in our houses and making efforts to make our lives and the world a better place to live, Echo Dot is the perfect tool and companion that lights up our lives.
