Amazon Echo Dot connected speakers all have different features. If you want to equip your home with it, it is important to choose the appropriate model(s).
Amazon is not only an online sales site: it is also a high-tech company that develops and markets its own devices. The Amazon Echo Dot range is one of the best known: it consists of connected speakers that are equipped with the Alexa voice assistant. This characteristic is found in all the devices sold by the online merchant. However, as there are different models of Amazon Echo Dot speakers, not all of these references have the same features and functionality. Depending on your needs, it may be interesting to choose one speaker over another. Here are three models that may interest you, and which display a different proposition each time.
The 3rd generation Amazon Echo Dot: the small format
The 3rd generation Echo Dot is a connected speaker that takes the shape of a pebble. It costs 49.99 euros, making it one of the cheapest devices in the range. Its 41mm speaker is suitable for listening to music in a small room, such as a bedroom, kitchen or office. The speaker is equipped with a microphone and the Alexa voice assistant, which allows it to respond to hundreds of requests. You can use it to listen to audio books, but also the radio.
The 3rd generation Amazon Echo Dot has a 3.5 mm audio output: you can connect it to a wired headset, but also to another speaker, if you want to increase its sound power. Finally, it connects to the Internet via dual-band Wi-Fi and has Bluetooth connectivity which allows it to be linked to mobile devices.

The 4th generation Amazon Echo: equipped with an integrated hub
Unlike the Amazon Echo Dot, the 4th generation Echo has a spherical shape. However, it does not take up much space, but this design allows it to carry more elements. There is a 41mm front-facing speaker as well as four long-range microphones. This model supports HD audio and emphasizes bass more. It is also compatible with Alexa and provides access to many voice commands. You can listen to music, audio books, as well as the radio.
The integrated hub, as well as support for Zigbee and Matter, allows you to control dozens of different connected objects from the 4th generation Echo. You can control your lights, your lock, your sensors, your surveillance devices… More than a speaker, this device can therefore become the center of your home automation. This model costs 119.99 euros on the Amazon website.

The 5th generation Amazon Echo Dot with clock: the latest version
New generation of Amazon Echo Dot, new design: this spherical model has an LED display which acts as a clock. This makes it a very practical connected speaker, which can be used as an alarm clock, or which can be installed in any room where you want to be able to see the time at a glance. We find the 41 mm speaker for high sound quality, as well as a microphone allowing you to use the Alexa voice assistant. Among the additions is the temperature sensor, which can be associated with compatible connected devices.
The 5th generation Amazon Echo Dot is one of the manufacturer’s most recent connected speakers. It costs 74.99 euros and offers extensive experience in the areas of voice assistance and home automation. Its integrated clock and temperature sensor are clearly among its strong points.
