The Amazon Echo Dot is a puck no longer

Sphere we go

For 2020 Amazon has decided to give its most popular Echo devices a complete redesign, and just like the main Echo, the almost iconically puck-shaped Echo Dot (£49.99) is now a sphere. Coming in white, blue and charcoal colourways, the new Dot has a 1.6in front-firing speaker which Amazon says produces ‘crisp vocals and balanced bass’. There’s also a new Echo Dot with Clock (£59.99), that has a subtle LED clock embedded in its fabric wrapping. They both look like little crystal balls, and are available for pre-order – going on sale later this year.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
