So, it’s not only us whose stomach is protruding but the all-new Amazon Echo Devices 4th Generation has also protruded and now becomes sphere in shape which I personally like very much.
I am talking about the newly launched Amazon Echo devices 4th Generation. The full range of Echo range consists of Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock. All the new Echo comes in a newly design orb-like shape, means bigger and spherical. However, the tactile design remains the same old fabric look. Although, Amazon has brought Echo Dot Special Kids edition in Tiger and Panda print design. Which to me personally liked it so much. Unfortunately, Echo Dot kid’s edition currently not for sale on Amazon.in. The Echo Dot devices are also boasted to be made with 100% recyclable material and low power mode.

Amazon Echo 4th Generation
Certainly, the first look of Amazon Echo 4th generation makes us fall in love with the orb-like look which considerably has been improved from Amazon Echo 3rd Generation. Now, the ring light has been shifted from top to the base of the sphere. The Echo 4th generation comes with built-in Zigbee smart home hub support which is common across all smart devices. It hosts an array of 4 microphones which help to detect voice anywhere from the room. It can also work as a normal Bluetooth speaker.

Amazon Echo Dot with clock 4th Generation
There is no change in design with the Amazon Echo however, the speakers you get it within is smaller than Echo. But there is something which especially this model has; LED display that displays, time, outdoor temperature and timer. Secondly, the built-in light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness, day or night. Lastly, all the buttons like mic off, volume up or down and action buttons come on top.

Bonus
Unfortunately, the Amazon Echo 4th generation Kids Edition is currently not available in the Indian Market. But these are undoubtedly cutest smart speakers available. Importantly, I personally will choose these over normal smart speakers. All-around wrapping of Tiger and Panda print is what we request Amazon to bring it to the Indian Market.
