Echo Spot vs Echo Dot: Which Amazon smart speaker wins?

Must read

Think of the new Amazon Echo Spot as a cross between an Echo Dot and Echo Show smart display. It primarily focuses on excellent sound but it comes with a tiny LCD touchscreen to show you the essentials. This displays basic information like the time, weather, album art covers, and smart home control widgets with large colorful icons.

At just $80, the Echo Spot is cheaper than the best smart displays we’ve tested but lacks a camera and core functionality like watching shows, making video calls, or viewing security camera feeds. On the other hand, it offers visual info that the best smart speakers lack. In fact the closest model it competes with is its little brother, the Echo Dot with Clock which uses LEDs to show pixelated text and icons through the front mesh of the smart speaker.
