The Nest Mini is the better small smart speaker for music
Costs $10 more than the Echo Dot without a display
Can't display indoor temperature
Sound lacks bass
Power cord is now proprietary
It doesn't come in any fun colors like the Home Mini does
And it doesn't feature any new hardware tricks
Either. Aside from the new look and the stronger sound
It's just the same Dot as before

Alexa is still weaker than Google Assistant

Simple but effective idea, Bright clock, Snooze function
The display doesn't really do an awful lot, No visual indicator of multiple alarms
The Echo Dot adds a little extra to what is already a hugely successful device - it's a neat idea but isn't enough to upgrade from an earlier Dot, of course. If you are adding a new Dot to your home or getting one for the first time then it's definitely w...
