In 2016, Amazon released the first version of the Amazon Echo. More recently, it launched the third generation of this device, the Amazon Echo Dot 3.

Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa comes with more and more functionality and features. The good news is that you can buy it at Aquário and, of course, at the best price! 

Amazon Echo Dot 3 - a 3ª geração da Alexa

The third generation Echo Dot was well received by the public and its qualities are on display. The main points in favor of Amazon Echo Dot 3 are the elegant and small design, the easy setup and integration with other equipment, the quality of the calls and Alexa itself, increasingly intelligent and intuitive.

The Amazon Echo Dot is included in the wide range of smart home, the Echo and, despite being small, it is very powerful! Let's look at some of the features of this great little smart speaker. 

Features of Amazon Echo Dot 3

Look at Alexa as a personal assistant. You can ask her to tell her what the day's news is, ask her what the weather is going to be like, ask her for the latest traffic updates, add items to lists, and set reminders .

With just a voice command, you can ask to play songs from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and Deezer using the built-in speaker. You can also use your own sound equipment and connect them. 

But more! With the Amazon Echo Dot 3 you can control your home, in the true sense of the term “smart home”. That is, if your appliances are smart and can be integrated, you will be able, with just a voice command, to turn on a lamp, turn off a coffee maker or lock/unlock a door, using a code.

Amazon Echo Dot 3 needs Wi-Fi to work. Yes, you can just use it as a speaker via Bluetooth, but you can't use a bunch of extremely useful features.

The third generation Echo Dot brings with it two important features. First, the sleek, modern, minimalistic 4-button design, available in black, white, gray and pink. Second, the fact that it has 4 long-range microphones, which allows you to interact with Alexa even from across the room. 

The good reception of this product was largely due to its affordable price. One would think such a “futuristic” and intelligent device would only be available to a few. Give up! The Amazon Echo Dot 3 is cheaper than you think, especially here at Aquário. 

Alexa skills on Amazon Echo Dot 3

Alexa has thousands of skills and continues to develop many more. But what are skills? In practice, skills are like apps that make Alexa more interactive, smart and useful. For example, you can install sounds that help you fall asleep, include a news channel, play games and much more more. There are many skills to discover in the Alexa app! 

And the privacy? 

Privacy is a very important issue for technology users and smart speakers in general. Alexa and Echo Dot 3 are designed with multiple layers of privacy. From microphone control to being able to listen and erase your voice records, you can use this device with transparency and control.

However, you can increase the level of your privacy even further: by turning off Alexa's microphone, disabling the app's data capture or deleting the history that records all the interactions you make with Alexa. 

What is the difference between the Echo Dot 3 and the Echo Show 5? 

The main difference between one device and another is that the latter has a 5.5-inch touchscreen that displays content while Alexa responds and takes orders. 

For example, you can see the lyrics of the songs that are playing, watch Amazon Prime Video, see the weather forecast in more detail or make video calls with other Echo Show users, thanks to the camera on the front.

Since the screen allows you to interact with Alexa without voice commands, the Echo Show 5 only has 2 microphones. 

Basically, the Amazon Echo Dot is a product that, for the price, is well worth it! This is a device that was made to make your life easier and the truth is that it does the job. If you have any questions about this equipment, do not hesitate to contact us!
