Amazon releases ‘sleek’ Alexa gadget upgrade with customisable design – and there’s a special discount for Prime Day
AMAZON has launched another Alexa-enabled Echo gadget that focuses on bringing some customisable looks to your bedside.
The Echo Spot has had a revamp with a colourful display that focuses on the basics – serving as a trusty alarm clock.
And the brand new product is on offer as part of Prime Day this week for a limited time.
Users can choose from a variety of custom-designed clock faces to suit their room’s style.
This is the second version of the Echo Spot.
Amazon has done away with the full circle screen on the front and replaced half of it with a directional speaker.
It’s built for the nightstand, with a gradual lighting display that Amazon claims will make it easy to set and view alarms, see the time, weather, or song titles at a glance.
Despite being a basic feature, alarms are among Alexa’s most popular use tens of millions of times every day.
There are four alarm sounds, called Aurora, Daybreak, Endeavor, and Flutter.
For those who you want a bit more sleep, they can snooze their alarm by tapping the Echo Spot.
There are six different display colour themes, including orange, violet, magenta, lime, teal, and blue, or you can mix and match colours with a variety of clock faces.
And for privacy, you’ll find the usual physical microphone on/off button.
“Customers care about the way they wake up in the morning and go to bed at night and the all-new Echo Spot will transform the way they start and end their day,” said Eric Saarnio, vice president, Amazon Devices International.
“Thanks to customisable clock faces, personalised designs, new alarm sounds and colourful visual animations, Echo Spot is the best smart alarm clock designed for any bedside table.”
The all-new Echo Spot is available now in Black, Glacier White, or Ocean Blue for £79.99.
But Prime members can grab it for £49.99 to celebrate Prime Day, from today until July 17.
