"Amazon took the wraps off its latest Echo Dot smart speaker during its fall hardware event on Tuesday. The Echo Dot Max is a new entry that updates the recognizable spherical design with a flat face housing the speaker's control buttons and LED light ring. The Echo Dot has been overdue for an upgrade, as Amazon last revealed a new pint-sized speaker in 2022, featuring a new temperature sensor, better bass, and the ability to work as an Eero Mesh Wi-Fi extender."
"Amazon's new Echo Dot Max will also benefit from the company's AI-upgraded voice assistant, which is available through a new Alexa Plus subscription. Alexa Plus launched in early access in March and offers the ability to hold back-and-forth conversations, as well as control multiple smart home devices based on a single request. Alexa Plus can also "remember" your preferences, such as your favorite types of movies and dietary restrictions, allowing it to make more personalized suggestions."
Amazon released the Echo Dot Max, a redesigned Echo Dot with a flat front for controls and an LED light ring, departing from the prior spherical look. The new model follows the 2022 pint-sized Echo Dot that added a temperature sensor, improved bass, and optional Eero Mesh Wi-Fi extender capabilities; the Echo Dot with Clock has been discontinued. The Echo Dot Max integrates Amazon's AI-upgraded Alexa via the Alexa Plus subscription, offering sustained back-and-forth conversations, multi-device smart-home control from single requests, and personalized memory of preferences like favorite movie genres and dietary restrictions for tailored suggestions.
