This feels so basic for what it could've been. If you take away the music display thing and the reminder display thing it's basically an echo dot with clock. Thanks for the early video!
@@tonyeaster4544 Nope. They removed it because their products are not a shade of what they used to be. Don't believe me? Go buy one and they try to disable it yourself.
My last Echo Spot screen started flickering after two years. A well documented issue which had Amazon completely ignore. I wonder if this 2nd generation will experience the same.
Would like to know more about the Bluetooth function please does the spot allow you to connect Bluetooth headphones so you can listen to music through them instead of the speaker ?
Nice review bro. Mine is about to arrive. Just an ideia, try to beep or mute the Alexa voice command in your video. I know you warned us, but my Alexa's are as a home theater are they kept activating each other 😂
Until you up the mids with he bass and it distorts to crap. Only way of not having it distort is to turn down the mids and bass and it sounds flat and tinny as an Echo Dot.
I never said it was a super high quality speaker, their more expensive products would obv have better quality, I was asked if it's better than the pop......
My daughter’s name is Charlie, and since I use all echos to send her announcements, I honestly had to remind myself it was an announcement on the video not my own echos. 😂 Soooo want one of these little dot alarms.
@@charlieschannel4192 okay thank you because if it was too bright I would have not got it as I am not good with bright light when I am trying to sleep I like my sleep to much
One thing that you didn't discover is that once you play music you lose all the Day, Date, Temperature information from the display, and the clock goes tiny, and you cannot display any of that information again unless you stop playing music or radio. So if you like to use the radio as an alarm clock in the morning like I do, you can't see what day it is or what the temperature is outside, which kind of defeats the object of the information screen.
No, it doesn't support video playback. Another standard and now absent feature that has been stripped out to get you to pony up for the more expensive devices.
Some paranoid cave-dwelling luddites think Alexa is spying on them! 🤣 Did you know? ... You can make FREE hands-free phone calls! ... Just speak the number, Alexa will repeat it back, and then dial it. Saves a fortune in phone calls, unless you have a call plan or unlimited minutes, which I don't have. Obviously, there is no phone keypad, and my devices don't have a screen. I navigate through call options by saying (for example), "Alexa, dial 1" (for option 1).
Finally, an alexa device that no longer shows ads to me!
When you purchased this,there is a option to link to your account so the set up is much better.
Received mine today,black version.I like it!👍
Noice 😂👌
4:16 My Alexa wakes up too and gives the same answer :)

You mean a clock that you can never turn off and blares out all night long.
@@ThatsMrMaxHeadroomToYou of course you can turn the clock off night time.Turn it off in the settings or schedule clock off.
@@tonyeaster4544 Nope. They removed it because their products are not a shade of what they used to be.

More like echo (insert item name here)with clock

You can’t turn the screen off

They should have given it a battery backup for power outages.
Why would they? No other Amazon device has battery backup.
@@DavideMazzetti i dont even understand how you'd use any alexa features with no power to run your wifi 🤨
I wonder how bright this is at night.
It glows a faint red
What do you mean it glows a faint red?
@@lucywhistance7638 yes lucy
That's night mode
@@YazanMaklad ohh okay and any got a picture of the night mode when it glows a faint red?
What's the name of the other smart screen called ? The white one?
Echo show 8 - amzn.to/3XZTbTD
mine is the 1st version, this one is the new version
Nice review bro. Mine is about to arrive. Just an ideia, try to beep or mute the Alexa voice command in your video. I know you warned us, but my Alexa's are as a home theater are they kept activating each other 😂
Well, he did ask viewers to mute their Amazon devices... lol
😂😂 my bad
@@hyacinthtiger62 I know...but I have 6 around the house.....lol
@@tntgdh Fair enough
Good video, was thinking of buying one and after seeing your video I will go ahead.
😂😂👌👌
Can the alarm play spotify music to wake you up? and can you snooze the alarm with your voice rather than tapping it?
I wonder how Spotify works with this?
Pretty much the same as other amazon devices 👌
How is the sound compared to an echo dot
This is allot louder, but it looses clarity as it gets louder 👌
The sound is terrible, muffled and low.
@anthonyranaldi2656 I think the sound quality is serviacble , but all opinions welcome 👌👌
Until you up the mids with he bass and it distorts to crap.
Only way of not having it distort is to turn down the mids and bass and it sounds flat and tinny as an Echo Dot.
This or the echo show 5 with discount at almost same price ??
The show offers you more but this is smaller and I'd say abbit neater, so personal preference 😂
Hi, do you also have the Echo Pop? If yes, which one sounds better?
I don't have a pop, I do have a dot, and the spot sounds allot better 👌
You full of 💩, the sound is terrible!
I never said it was a super high quality speaker, their more expensive products would obv have better quality, I was asked if it's better than the pop......
i bought the same one as you it comes on Thursday good video
Good choice!
awesome video, thanks
Does it have a battery in it ?
No, when you unplug it, it will power off 👌

Good choice of name 😂👌
Does it show Amazon ads?
I would guess not as the screen dosnt have much quality (if that makes sence)
I would like one but was wondering if it was be bright in my room
Brightness at night or just general brightness??
@@charlieschannel4192 at night?
At night?
@lucywhistance7638 at night it glows a red/orange colour, not bright atall, good for when your trying to sleep
@@charlieschannel4192 okay thank you because if it was too bright I would have not got it as I am not good with bright light when I am trying to sleep
I like my sleep to much
Will it display 24hr time ie 20.00 etc.?
You can choose a 24hr clock or a 12hour clock 👌
One thing that you didn't discover is that once you play music you lose all the Day, Date, Temperature information from the display, and the clock goes tiny, and you cannot display any of that information again unless you stop playing music or radio.
So if you like to use the radio as an alarm clock in the morning like I do, you can't see what day it is or what the temperature is outside, which kind of defeats the object of the information screen.
That's a fair point I'll try this out 👌👌
You can say: Alexa home and then you see these stats again. And the music is still playing.
@@AnikaMilano Sort of, you get the time back, but where the day date and temperature was is a tiny useless graphics equaliser.
The captions say the cuss as like this: [ ___ ]
Great video. Tempted to buy this to replace my echo dot with clock
Don't. It's even worse.
Are you able to see WiFi cameras
I did try with a doorbell, and it did not work 😐
@@charlieschannel4192 boo, Thank you for the info it’s really helpful.
No, it doesn't support video playback.
Another standard and now absent feature that has been stripped out to get you to pony up for the more expensive devices.
Thanks for the review, even at £50 it’s a very expensive alarm clock and barely an upgrade from my Echo Dot with clock.
I’ll pass 👍
10:14 then play NCS
Ncs??
Yes no copyright sounds
@@YazanMaklad didn't know there was such thing 😂
Yeah I hope you understand
What colour do you recommend
Personal preference, I just like blue......so blue 😂
@@charlieschannel4192 ah ok
sound isn't as good as google hub
