Amazon's new Echo Spot drops to $55

<p>The latest incarnation of Amazon's Echo Spot is back on sale. The smart alarm clock has <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQkZDN1dRNlI_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiOWJlMmVjNTctMTEyOS00MGI2LTk2MjQtMWM1N2YwOTdjYzA5Iiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQkZDN1dRNlIiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAbF5nPxTGuwShhqB29rws8lwq6hv-rnAe_W3RWjztrs_&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BFC7WQ6R" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFC7WQ6R?">dropped from $80 to $55[/url]. The device was available for $45 during <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/amazon-revives-the-echo-spot-smart-alarm-clock-and-swiftly-discounts-it-by-44-percent-160304634.html">an introductory/Prime Day sale[/url] in July, but this is the lowest that the Echo Spot has dipped to since then.</p>
<p>The new model has a sharper display and better sound compared with the original one, Amazon claims (the company canned the first Echo Spot in 2019, two years after its debut). The front face of the new Echo Spot is split almost in half with a display up top and speaker at the bottom. Unlike the original model, there's no camera in this one, which is a welcome move. It always seemed odd for Amazon to include one in something many people use as a bedside device.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>

<p>The Echo Spot has Alexa integration, of course. You can use the voice assistant to play music, control smart home devices and create a routine for waking up. The display can show you information such as the title of the song that's playing, weather details and, naturally, the time of day.</p>
<p>There are a couple of other Echo devices on sale at the moment, including the Echo Show 5. The 2023 model is <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUIyU0JIUUs_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiOWJlMmVjNTctMTEyOS00MGI2LTk2MjQtMWM1N2YwOTdjYzA5Iiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUIyU0JIUUsiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAUV5Ey8BTFLHAoZxwoZvM3J0Yc0Yue-WhGZDf-hCSFSA&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB09B2SBHQK" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B2SBHQK?ref=MARS_NAV_desktop_shop_dvc_Smart_Disp">a third off at $60[/url]. It's one of our favorite <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-smart-display-202448797.html">Alexa-powered smart displays[/url], and it can work as an alarm clock too (the tap-to-snooze feature is very handy for those desiring a few more minutes of shut-eye). The Echo Show 5 does have a built-in camera, but there's a physical shutter you can use to block it.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, an Echo Dot can be yours <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUI4VjFMWjM_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiOWJlMmVjNTctMTEyOS00MGI2LTk2MjQtMWM1N2YwOTdjYzA5Iiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUI4VjFMWjMiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAQLP-1I754rPAnUO_IZE33Bg0RV6_53GhRy5RVrWnMm8&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB09B8V1LZ3" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B8V1LZ3">for $30[/url].
