mazon unveils seven new
Alexa devices,
including a smart ring and glasses
Amazon has just launched a new wave of Alexho Echo devices that come in all shapes and sizes. This is no exaggeration, Echo Loop is a smart ring with a built-in microphone, speaker and battery life that works all day.
Alexa is only a click away (to save battery, no alertness support). You can use the ring to make calls, control your smart home and do everything in Alexa's ever-growing arsenal of skills. At night, just place the ring on the wireless charging cradle.
The invitation-only version of Day1 is $ 130. The normal price is $ 180. Note that you can order a set of fake rings of different sizes, so you can wear them for a while and choose which suits you best.
If you prefer, you can get echo frames instead - just like a ring, except for glasses. To be clear, this is not like Google Glass, there is no AR here. Frames can make calls, set reminders, add things to your to-do list, and more.
Thanks to the larger battery and the most convenient form factor, you can listen to podcasts on the go. The first day version is $ 180, and the normal price is $ 250.
Echo Buds may be the most practical of the three, but not the same level as the future - the real wireless headphones designed at Alexa. It promises five hours of operation on its own, making the charging problem to 20 hours. The cost of a 15-minute stay in this case is enough for two hours of music.
Echo Buds has some serious sound credentials, which feature dual drivers and a set of 3 microphones with Bose Active Noise Reduction (a weaker version of noise cancellation). You can ask Alexa to play everything from audiobooks to something from Apple Music.
Amazon has never been discouraged to support third-party services. The ring, glasses and earphones can contact Google Assistant or Apple Siri if you prefer. The echo launch price is $ 130 and will be launched on October 30th.
Echo Show 8 is extremely standard - the middle floor between Echo Shows 5 "and 10.1". It has an 8-inch HD display that can display your daily itinerary, show who's at the door with a circular camera, and even play TV shows and movies. To listen to music, there are 2-inch speakers (10 watts each).
There is a 1 megapixel front camera, which can be used for video calls (there is a device slider that can cover the camera and disable microphones for privacy). Echo Show 8 is now available and will be available on November 21st.
If you just want music, Echo Studio features S5 speakers with Dolby Atmos 3D sound. It has three mid-range speakers (top, left, right), one inch speaker and 5.25 inch speaker with bass slot.
In addition to other music streaming services, this service supports the new Amazon Music HD service. This speaker is $ 200, it will be released on November 7th. Note that unlike Echo Show 8, Studio Zigbee supports more home automation.
There is a smaller speaker - the third generation Echo Dot. The Sandstone version has an elegant new trick, a digital clock visible through the cloth. The time normally appears, but it turns into a temperature display when you ask for weather. The new Echo Dot will be released on October 16 for $ 60 or if you can live without the watch, $ 50.
Finally, there's Echo Flex - a smart speaker disguised as a charger. This is designed for tight spaces where there is no place to place the speaker, just plug it in and it will stay on the wall.
It also has a USB port at the bottom, which you can use to charge your phone (7.5W output). Alternatively, you can connect the accessories - currently, motion sensor and night light.
