Amazon Echo (3rd Generation) Review
Amazon recently launched its third-generation device in the Echo. Second generation Echo device is still available in the market. In this review, we are talking about the Echo third generation, which can be seen as an alternative to the slightly expensive Echo Plus (2nd generation). For users who want a great audio output even without a built-in smart home hub, this is a better option.
So would buying Amazon Echo at this price be a good option? Will it really be an upgrade for you? Let's know in its detailed review:
Which Amazon Echo device is available?
We have shown here the best and value for money products in the Echo line-up which you can buy quite easily by the end of this year or early next year.
Echo Smart Speaker:

Anything Echo Dots and Echo Show prove to be a good option for your bedroom or kitchen. The latest Echo Show 3 audio quality is better for a hall or for users who want an extra-base in music. For now, Echo 3 offers a very premium audio output in its price segment.
If it is very important for you to invest in Zigbee Smart Home Hub or you have invested, then Echo Plus is a good option or else you can buy Amazon Echo 3 with 5 thousand rupees.
Echo (3rd Generation) Review: Design and Audio
The design and size of this latest 3rd generation Amazon Echo is similar to the previous Echo Plus device. It has a mesh-fabric cover with 3 ″ woofers and 0.8 ″ tweeters. This time the top part of the charger, charging cable and Echo are given in black color, so there is no worry about it getting messy soon.
On seeing the specification sheet, it is clear that the new Echo device is slightly heavier than the Echo Plus. But there is no shortage of increased weight because you will not move around with it. It has a slightly larger magnet for the extra base, due to which the weight is increased.
Speaking of audio, Echo Plus can be called the best smart-speaker at a price of less than 10 thousand. Its audio is very clear, the base is effective and it proves to be an adequate voice speaker for your hall too.
The user can also connect 2 devices simultaneously for the stereo effect. It can also provide Dolby audio output by connecting it to the Amazon Fire TV stick placed in your room.
Amazon may not have done much work on the audio output with the First Echo device, but with every upgrade after that, you have got better audio quality than the previous and this audio quality makes it better than Google Home and Nest Hub Smart Display is.
Echo Plus can listen to the command even in a light voice very easily, so you will not have any problem in giving the command while making your voice very special during the music. This quality makes the Echo 3 worth keeping in the hall or in some big places like the garage etc. I really liked this because sometimes you had to sharpen your voice to talk in the voice of music, which I personally find quite strange.
One more thing, in the latest Echo Dot, you also have the support of a clock which is quite good. If similar LED display support was found in it, then it would have been much better, but none, this is not a major drawback because till now we were using Echo devices without LED display.
Echo (3rd Generation) Review: Alexa Upgrade?
The best thing is that the Echo 3rd Generation is the first device to be set up in Hindi and the way it easily completes the task by listening to my mother or father. This also shows that Amazon is working to make Alexa even better but it will take some more time to leave the Google Assistant behind.
What makes Alexa special is her skills. You can easily use cloud-based skills on your device in any number. With these, Alexa also improves your smart home experience by supporting your other smart products like TV or AC.
To be honest, I have invested heavily in both Amazon and Google services. Mainly with Amazon Shopping and Fire TV Sushi, Alexa proves to be a much better option. Almost all music streaming services like Savan, Ganna, etc. have been supported in it and with the front, it is starting to support more content.
Amazon Echo (3rd Generation) Review: Verdict
Google got a good start with its smart assistant in the Indian market, but Amazon also seems to compete with Google with its Echo lineup in that order. In the last 2 years, Amazon has greatly optimized Alexa for the Indian market, the most recent example being its Hindi language support.
All Amazon Echo products are available under the try-and-buy offer which means the user can use them for 10 days and if you don't like it then all your money will be returned to you. Along with this, the way Amazon Echo devices were offered with the offer on Diwali Sale recently is a commendable compliment and with this excuse, almost all Echo devices have been made in our office.
Increasing the market share is very important as this is the reason that other smart product brands in India will pay attention to Alexa and also support it in their products. If you talk Amazon Echo (3rd Gen), then it proves to be the best smart speaker under Rs 10,000.
