Bellowing commands at, and hearing responses from, a little electronic voice in a box retains a futuristic feel, but on the surface, everything about this product is quite simple. The small, puck-shaped design has been jazzed up and improved on this third-generation Dot. The previous model’s hard exterior has been replaced with fabric, and the controls on top of the device have also been updated. The 3.5mm audio output and Bluetooth connectivity are the only features. This means that if you want a bigger, better sound than the Echo Dot can provide, you can connect to another device via a wired or wireless connection. In terms of features, it’s all about Alexa. It’s also worth noting that all of this connectivity, as well as everything Alexa can do, is compatible with the second-generation Echo Dot.
