Costs $10 more than the Echo Dot without a display
Can't display indoor temperature

Not so good for extended periods of music listening
Clear and loud audio, 3.5mm and Bluetooth audio outputs, Same price as old model, Improved design
No longer USB-powered, Not ideal for music
Verdict Better-looking, louder and clearer than the previous generation, the Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) is a vast improvement over its predecessor and it even costs the same. It's the ideal smart home companion for placing all around your home. Pros Clear...
Like the Kindle before it, Amazon has taken a great product that didn't really need improving, and somehow made it better in every way. It looks classier and it sounds significantly better, with all the same perks that made the original Dot such a compell...
This latest Echo Dot is undoubtedly the best yet. It may be a little larger than before, but it's still much more discreet than the bigger Echo 2. And we like the Sandstone Fabric colour that we were sent for review: it looks good on a white window sill o...

Alexa voice-control and all the smarts that brings, Hugely improved sound quality, Affordable
Potentially undercut by Echo Input (if you're just looking for an Alexa controller, Not speaker)
The 2018 Amazon Echo Dot is such a significant improvement over its predecessors. It's now much better suited for anyone who wants a compact music device, while still being affordable and increasingly smart.The introduction of the new £34.99 Echo Input me...

This is the best Dot yet at the same irresistible price -- but it will do little to slow Google's growing momentum...
Abstract: The third generation of the Amazon Echo Dot looks better than ever, but it also bears a striking resemblance to its main competitor, the Google Home Mini. Amazon unveiled the newest version of its petite smart speaker at the company's surprise hardware e...
For well over two years, the £50 Echo Dot has remained the cheapest way to get a digital voice assistant into your home. The full-fat Amazon Echo is almost twice as expensive, while Google Home and the Apple HomePod are £130 and £320 respectively.As previ...

Louder speakers, Stereo pairing
Do you need an Echo Input instead
Completely redesigned, the new Echo Dot is a super little puck that's an upgrade on its predecessor. The louder speaker is a welcome addition and the new design is certainly a lot more pleasant on the eye.But the launch of the Echo Input raises some quest...
