Looks like a Speaker. Anything special?

 

That's Alexa Dot and does not come with speakers like Echo/Plus. However, you can connect it to other sound devices and make full use of it. RSAvyBC.png

 

It's hands-free voice controlled device that use Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, make calls, read, TV, etc,. 

 

It's pretty cool as long you have smart devices/use of it. Similar to Google Home.

It comes with a speaker, as told above. But yeah, the speaker is just serviceable and mostly suitable for the... 'voice' stuff.
If one needs decent quality, the dot'll need to be hooked up to some separate external speakers.


The voice recognition is superb for the most part [emoji7].

So, the speaker only exists as a way to access Alexa from what I understand. 

Is Alexa really that good to warrant a purchase of a separate device. Isn't there any mobile app? 

Of course, you can achieve all of what Alexa does via mobile apps etc.

What the Echo devices offer is, primarily, absolutely excellent voice recognition. My experience regarding the same on mobile has so far been rather shitty.

 

To summarize, Echo is fun to have. It's cool to just enter my room and say, "Alexa. Play <xyz>" and hear it do so flawlessly almost every time. 

 

But, it's not something you 'need'.
