Amazon has unveiled three new Echo devices powered by Alexa+. These devices include a revamped Echo Dot, an Echo Studio with visual intelligence and a smart clock with Alexa.
Echo Time is the first-ever alarm clock with Alexa for your nightstand. The circular touchscreen offers hundreds of clock faces. It uses a feature called Ominsense and ultrasound sleep sensing to wake you during lighter sleep within a 10-60 minute period before the alarm time, and it’s paired with a sunrise-inspired brightness display. And during the night, the clock face dims, and blue light is reduced.
The Echo Dot is now also a smart home hub. The AZ3 chip powers more on-device AI and can cancel background noise, so Alexa can hear you even in a busy room.
Additionally, it has a redesigned driver that offers 50 per cent more bass than the previous generation. It also connects to hundreds of devices and sports a built-in eero Wi-Fi extender to offer up to 1,000 sq ft of coverage in the eero network.
The Echo Studio with Home Camera features three custom drivers with a high-excursion woofer and Dolby Atmos with immersive 3D sound. It also offers advanced room adaptation and adaptive volume, so it sounds better depending on the room it’s in. It also has a built-in camera system called Sightwise Live, which allows Alexa+ to understand what it’s looking at, such as explaining the rules of a board game or re-ordering food when the shelf is empty.
The Echo Studio with Home Camera costs $329.99.
The Echo Time and Echo Dot offer age-appropriate experiences, including a year of Kids+ with access to Stories with Alexa. There are also built-in privacy controls, with a microphone-off button on Echo Dot and a dedicated button to disable the camera and microphone on Echo Studio. Additionally, the sleep sensing on Echo Time can be turned off in settings or by disabling the microphones.
These three devices are available on October 29.
