Engadget Review
The new Amazon Echo Dot has a rounder, more pleasing aesthetic, but is otherwise unchanged from last year’s model. Still, the Echo Dot remains a fantastic smart speaker. It’s small form factor packs great sound especially for its price. If you want a small, affordable Alexa-powered smart speaker with excellent audio, then the Dot is a great choice.
New design, but same ol' Dot on the inside.
