Amazon has introduced the new Echo Spot in India, redesigning its smart alarm clock to resemble the Echo Pop. This 2024 model succeeds the original Echo Spot from 2017, which was launched in India in 2018, but notably removes the video calling and smart home camera capabilities of its predecessor.
The Echo Spot displays time, weather, and song information on its screen, with eight clock faces and six color themes for display to choose from: orange, violet, magenta, lime, teal, and blue. It comes in Black and Blue color options and includes a night mode for viewing time in dark conditions.
Users can set alarms with four new sounds – Aurora, Daybreak, Endeavor, and Flutter – or wake up to music from services like Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and JioSaavn. The device responds to voice commands through Alexa or touch controls on its screen.
For smart home functions, the Echo Spot can control compatible devices and set up automated routines. It includes motion detection to trigger actions like turning on lights when someone enters a room. The device also allows audio calls to other Alexa devices and household announcements.
On the privacy front, it includes a microphone on/off button and options to manage voice recordings through the Alexa Privacy Hub.
Pricing and Availability
The Echo Spot is available at a regular price of Rs 8,999, with a current introductory offer of Rs 6,449. Customers can purchase it through Amazon.in, Blinkit, and Croma stores (both online and offline).
