  • Echo Standard,
  • Echo Plus of greater dimensions,
  • Echo Spot with the screen,
  • The ‘subwoofer’ Echo Sub.

This speaker has a compact design, simple and discreet, and has only four buttons, two for volume, one to silence it and one that activates commands. It also has a ring of light located at the top that is shown blue when it detects a voice command, which in this case should start with the name of the digital assistant – “Alexa”. For example, ‘Alexa, turn on the lights’ or ‘Alexa, how’s the traffic in Miami?’

TIP: Of course, for those who love to have information about the song, years, group members, etc., at all times you can interrupt Alexa to ask about those details.

Not forgetting those who love the radio, for them just with an “Alexa, put me on the radio”, they will have the station tuned through the application Tune in. Apart from that, there are other applications with similar functions such as the iheart radio that are only limited to the USA.

Alexa -Audio Books

For those who like to read books, Alexa will allow you to access those audiobooks that you have in your Amazon account. A good option for those who wish to make their children listen to bed-time stories or to improve their pronunciation.

Not just this, with just a simple command of “Alexa, pair a new device”, it allows you to efficiently listen through the excellent Alexa speaker of what your mobile device is transmitting.

As with Siri and the latest version of Apple TV, Alexa now also integrates with Amazon TV and allows the search, selection, and suggestions of series and movies through voice. But for this, you need to have Amazon Fire TV.

A diligent secretary

In a similar way to what other voice assistants help us on our mobile devices, Alexa will always be attentive to inform you of what interests you. A simple “Alexa, news of the press” will suffice to keep you up to date of the headlines summary of the main international newspapers.

And “Alexa, how is the traffic today?” will tell you what time it will take you to arrive (considering the traffic conditions) from your home to that site that you have previously programmed.
