Amazon pops off a new Echo Spot with a screen: Is this your next alarm clock?
Like an Echo Pop with a screen, the new Echo Spot makes a versatile alarm clock.
Ever since I reviewed the Belkin 2-in-1 charging stand, my alarm clock has been my iPhone. But the new Echo Spot looks like it could be a great alternative.
With the same sliced-sphere design as the original Pop, the new model uses the top half of that sliced design to show a 2.8-inch touchscreen. The display will show off the time like a traditional alarm clock, but also lets you view things like the weather and album art.
The new Echo Spot has a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker, which promises clearer audio than you might expect from the tiny body. The original Echo Pop surprised me with its audio quality, so I shouldn't expect less from this model.
