Let's face it, the sound quality from the 3-gen Echo was also very good, considering the price. The arrangement of the drivers was designed to fire out the sound all around the device, meaning it didn't necessarily matter where you place the device and how. One of the main points about the previous Echo models was the 360-degree audio.

The colours are similar - charcoal and blue for both, with the new Echo coming in white which is similar to the sandstone of the previous version. The light ring also moves from the top of the old speaker to the bottom of the new, and this is something that divides opinion - some think it looks better, some think the light ring is harder to see. Now you have buttons integrated into the fabric on the top of the device. The overall look is similar, however, with a fabric coating, so gone is the plastic top with buttons. The new Echo is a little heavier too, and that's to be expected from the larger size and additional speakers. That means it's actually a little bigger than the previous Echo, as it's now almost the same height, but obviously wider. The most obvious shift is in design, moving from that cylinder we've been used to for the past couple of years to a sphere instead. The best prices are usually available sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday, but there are frequent discounts through the year too. Read on and we'll explore the differences between new 2020 Amazon Echo and the older 2019 Amazon Echo. Gone is the cylinder as the Echo goes spherical.īut that's not the only change for this new Echo device, as it expands in other areas too.


(Pocket-lint) - Amazon has a new generation of Echo and for the first time in a long time, a completely new design.
