While the possessors of a Amazon Echo We are still waiting for Amazon to decide to launch the official Spanish version of its virtual assistant, certain devices linked to Amazon are still being filtered that would include Alexa natively. It is incredible, but even Apple has been ahead of launching its HomePod in Spanish, while Jeff Bezos and his team resist… will they eat his toast?
While the only thing we know is that Alexa will arrive in Mexico and Spain this year, a good time for these leaks to emerge. These are the new devices that will arrive with Alexa from Amazon according to their latest information, we will have a plug, a subwoofer and much more.
Amazon Echo Audio Products
The first product would be called Amazon EchoSub, a subwoofer that would serve to interconnect it (through the well-known multiroom audio system that has become so popular) to the rest of the sound products that the firm currently has for sale. With a size of six inches and up to 100W of power, it could become a good ally for the multimedia system of our home. But take out a pen and paper, because it doesn't come alone, it is accompanied by a complete renovation of the sound range.
Similarly there will be a third generation of the Amazon Echo Dot whose reservation has already been opened, the alternative to the Google Home Mini from a presumable 50 euros. There will also be a second, smaller and cheaper device that will be around 35 euros for smaller rooms called Amazon Echo Input.
They have also wanted to be inspired by SONOS and the way they do their work, which is why in addition to launching the subwoofer that we mentioned above, they have given rise to two new devices. The first is the Amazon EchoLink, a device that will allow us to enhance our multiroom environment thanks to its connectivity capabilities, and finally a more complex version with more functionalities called Amazon Echo Link AmpThey have not even wanted to change the name according to what Sonos presented quite recently ... A little Amazon creativity, please. These two products will cost 199 and 200 euros respectively if we consider an exchange rate of 1/1 between dollars and euros.
We are not done with the sound, we will also have the Amazon Echo Plus, a bigger, fatter and more powerful version of the current Amazon Echo and that will offer more and better sound for approximately 150 euros once it lands in Spain. Of course, no one will be able to say that if you have not purchased a smart audio product signed by Amazon, it is due to lack of variety, you have all prices and sizes.
What's new in smart home from Amazon
It is followed by a smart plug, the Amazon Smart Plug which also has compatibility with its virtual assistant Alexa, it will not need any type of connection bridge to work, which will make it simple and useful, however the price is too high, it is expected to cost 125 euros, while firms such as Koogeek They already offer similar products (and even strips) for much less compatible in turn with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and of course Apple HomeKit, will these Amazon add-ons triumph?
More surprising is the Amazon Echo Wall Clock, yes, it is exactly what you expect, a traditional but smart watch ... Among other things you can read the news of the day or give us the tabar while we have breakfast, the reality is that it is luxurious in a kitchen. The best thing is the price, only 29 euros to keep up with all the notifications.
We continue with the second generation of amazon echo show, the virtual assistant with a rather interesting screen, in fact even Movistar has tried to launch a very Spanish imitation, but it is far from offering so many capabilities, even though it is a mere update, it does not offer more functionalities, in fact it maintains the current price of 230 euros (if it arrived in Spain, that is to say, it currently costs 230 $).
Alexa Auto and Alexa Microwave
We are not kidding, Amazon has also launched a microwave That can be managed through our instructions present in Alexa, great to avoid the thirty seconds that we waste in selecting the time we want our food to be in it, it will cost 60 euros from next October.
And finally the version for Alex's cara, no screen, a simple base connected by USB that will offer us full support through Alexa for our vehicle for only 50 euros (25 euros if you reserve it). We do not know the real utility that it will have, but here Amazon should have opted for an alternative that would let us embed a screen. That said, it will simply be limited to offering us Alexa in our car permanently but ... Don't we already have that on our mobile device?
New Ring cameras and revamped API
As you well know, Amazon acquired Ring some time ago, the firm specialized in home control and domotics. Now they have taken the opportunity to launch the Ring Stick Up Cam, a camera that will cost around 180 euros and that will integrate the new API with which Amazon wants to integrate Alexa in a stable way in these devices and above all make them smarter. How could it be otherwise, this new product will be automatically integrated with the rest of those offered by the firm, such as the Echo Show or the Ring connected doorbell.
Little else could have presented Amazon in such a short time, the list of home products that make up Alexa has become vast, we have opportunities for everyone and a good dose of problem solving, now it only remains to see how much is left for Alexa to function correctly in Spanish, my Amazon Echo is still waiting for it. In the meantime we will do our best to bring you the analysis of these products so that you can consider your purchase sooner or later, and that is that we not only have to focus on the products that Apple offers, but also on the most direct competition.
