Although it is not common in Europe, the Amazon Echo has become a fundamental device for many millions of users in the United States. Amazon Echo is a speaker that is continually listening to us well to offer us information that we request or to write down the products that we need in the shopping list. This device has been on the market for several years and the guys at Amazon want adapt to new technologies by adding a touch screen to the device, screen with which we will be able to interact without using voice commands.
The company claims that they are focusing on launching a new device to cope with both Google Home and the rumored device that Apple is supposed to be developing and to try to attract more people. The idea of adding a touch screen is motivated to facilitate access to content and not your only means of communication is through voice commands. In this way, checking the weather forecast or the next events on our calendar will be much easier with a glance instead of having to stick your ear to the Amazon Echo.
According to various sources related to the development of this new generation of the Amazon Echo, this new model with a 7-inch touch screen will be more or less the same size as the most expensive model that is currently on sale and will logically also be managed by the Amazon Alexa assistant. Amazon currently sells three such devices: the model Amazon Dot for $ 50, the Amazon Tap for $ 130 and the Amazon Echo, which is priced at $ 180. The new model that will probably hit the market early next year will be the most expensive model.
