Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Generation)｜See Before You Buy
The Echo Dot (3rd Gen) is a tiny smart hub and part of a broader family of Echo-branded smart devices offered by Amazon. Echo devices can control a wide range of smart home products, including Philips Hue lights, home security, and even keyless door locks. We tested how the Echo Dot compares to other similar devices and how it fits into the Amazon Echo ecosystem.
The Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) measures just 3.9 x 3.9 x 1.7 inches and weighs less than a pound. It's the smallest of Amazon's Echo devices and can fit just about anywhere. Even with its minimal design and small form factor, it's still very aesthetically pleasing, and you can easily see the light ring indicator from across the room.
All of the latest generations of Echo smart speakers share the same general design guidelines: cylindrical, fabric-covered enclosures, a power port and 3.5mm audio port on the side, with controls along the top. The 3rd-gen Dot comes in Charcoal, Heather Gray, and Sandstone White.
