Amazon has launched the all-new Echo Spot in India, making it the latest addition to its line-up of Alexa-enabled Echo devices. Echo Spot is a sleek new smart alarm clock, featuring a variety of custom-designed clock faces, colourful display options, and four newly-added alarm sounds. Combining style with functionality, Echo Spot’s compact and customisable display allows customers to set and view alarms, see the time, weather, or song titles at a glance, and experience vibrant sound with its directional speaker. Specifically designed to enhance the bedside table experience, the night mode option helps customers easily check the time on the screen mid-sleep.
Available in Black and Blue, customers can get the Echo Spot at an introductory limited period offer of Rs 6,449.
“Through our range of devices, we constantly strive to add more convenience and comfort to our customers’ daily lives. Echo Spot, the newest addition to the Echo family of devices, continues to deliver on this commitment. Customers can gently wake up to their favourite music, control Alexa-compatible smart lights and home appliances, and glance at the weather and their calendar–by giving voice commands to Alexa from the comfort of their bed,” said Parag Gupta, Director and Country Manager, Amazon Devices India. “Its aesthetic design with a colourful, customisable display helps enhance any bedside setting. I look forward to seeing how customers use the new Echo Spot to elevate their daily routines and overall comfort at home.”
Experience Interactive and Personalised Display
Customers love asking Alexa for information—in fact, Alexa answers multiple requests every millisecond, with customers requesting Alexa’s help with weather updates, trivia, recipes, and general knowledge, among other things. They also turn to Alexa to assist them with setting reminders, alarms, timers, making lists, and more. Echo Spot’s eight custom-designed clock faces, new visual animations, and fun colours make it easy to see the responses to some of these requests at a glance. Moreover, customers can customise Echo Spot’s 2.83” touch-screen display to fit the aesthetic of their bedroom. They can choose from six different colour themes for display—orange, violet, magenta, lime, teal, and blue—or mix and match colours with a variety of clock faces.
Customers can gently wake up to their preferred music or songs by setting custom alarms. For instance, they can just say “Alexa, set a weekday alarm for 7 am with devotional songs.” Or, wake up to one of four newly-added alarm sounds—Aurora, Daybreak, Endeavor, and Flutter. And, if they want a bit more sleep when the alarm goes off, they can either ask Alexa or just tap Echo Spot to snooze. Customers can also ask Alexa for the weather and see the temperature, along with an illustration—like a sun or rain cloud—on the screen.
Enjoy Vibrant Sound
Customers can enjoy big vibrant sound with the Echo Spot, which includes a 1.73” front-firing speaker delivering clear vocals and deep bass. They can ask Alexa to play music, podcasts, and audiobooks from providers like Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and JioSaavn (subscription may be required).
Echo Spot’s colourful visual display also shows song titles when music plays. To skip songs, one can simply ask Alexa, or quickly tap the display. There are also buttons on the top of the Echo Spot to quickly adjust the volume—or customers can ask Alexa by saying, “Alexa, volume up/down”.
Control Alexa-compatible Smart Home Products
Echo Spot can also be connected to compatible smart home products and used to set up Alexa Routines to help automate daily tasks with a single voice command. For example, one can set up a morning routine that gently wakes them up with music and gradual light from their compatible smart lights. Or, set an evening routine that automatically dims these lights at a pre-set time, turns on the TV, and plays their pre-selected movie/TV show. Customers can set up an Alexa Routine using their Alexa app by navigating to ‘More’, followed by ‘Routines’, and then selecting either a pre-set routine or creating a custom one. With Ultrasound Motion Detection available in Echo Spot, they can also create smart home routines to turn on compatible lights or play music when they enter the room.
Connect with Family and Friends
Customers can also ask Alexa to place audio calls to loved ones on other Alexa-enabled devices, make household announcements, or audibly Drop In on other Alexa-enabled devices in the household.
Built with Privacy in Mind
As with all of our devices, Echo Spot is built with multiple layers of privacy controls, including a microphone on/off button and the ability to view and delete voice recordings.
Pricing and Availability
Echo Spot is available for purchase in Black and Blue on Amazon.in, Blinkit, and online and offline stores of Croma. Priced at Rs 8,999, customers can get the Echo Spot at an introductory limited period offer of Rs 6,449.
