    I understand it has the best sound quality using the built in smart chip technology like that in the latest smart phone processors.
    Amazon still has a major edge in terms of their echo dot family.
    The echo family is more affordable , you can get 3 dots for the price of one mini.
    With three big players in the mini market, I expect to see lots of improvements
    in all of them and "maybe" a price drop in a year or so in the mini.
