Amazon Echo Dot 2 How Is It Different From Echo Dot 1St Gen

Hardware Changes

Also, the new Echo Dot is smaller, lighter and does not come with the 3.5mm cable, which was part of the original Echo Dot package. The Echo Dot 2 is available in a new White Pearl version along with the usual Black one.

Improved Voice Recognition

Echo Spatial Perception (ESP)

Better Availability and Price

Specs Comparison

Other than the changes mentioned above, the Echo Dot 2 remains the same as its predecessor, with support for hands-free Alexa commands, connection to external speakers via Bluetooth or 3.5mm cable, a small built-in speaker and more. While the hardware might seem a little cheaper when compared to the first Echo Dot, it’s certainly superior on other fronts. To sum things up, the Echo Dot 2 at $49.99 is certainly worth the money and if you haven’t bought an Alexa speaker yet, you are really missing out on some great tech. Also, if you live in a country where the Echo Dot 2 is not available, don’t worry, you can still buy it and set it up. Well, those are my thoughts but I’d love to hear from you. So, let us know what you think of the Echo Dot 2 in the comments section below.
