Amazon introduces a look at the new Echo Spot device which is now returning with fresh new components. It embodies a more modern design with a focus on privacy, removing the camera at the front of the design. The first-ever Echo Spot was launched in 2017 and it was the first smart display on the market with a circular screen.
It was not popular due to two main components: the camera and the price point. Now, the second generation of the Echo Spot finally rolls out to address both of the main concerns. Now priced at only $79.99, sitting at half the price of its previous design, it also no longer has the camera but is able to make audio calls.
