Amazon Unveils 8 Smart Home Products, Including a Photo Frame and Smart Clock
Amazon has launched 8 new Alexa and Echo products for the smart home. The main new products are the 10-inch Alexa Photo Frame digital frame and the Echo Time clock designed for the bedroom. Alexa Home Map will display lights, speakers, screens, and cameras in the home on a 3D map. Devices shown on the map can be controlled by tapping the screen. The feature will be added to the Alexa+ app by the end of the year.
The Alexa Photo Frame is a 10-inch HD touchscreen designed to display photos. Its matte coating reduces light reflections on the screen, while the brightness adjusts to the room's lighting. The white mat gives photos a classic look, and the frame is made of real wood. Prime members receive unlimited photo storage, and images are selected automatically from their Amazon Photos library. Alexa+ selects suitable images by considering the people in the photos, when they were taken, and their image quality. It displays holiday and seasonal photos at the appropriate time and excludes screenshots and receipts. Users can also add voice notes to images and send photos to family members' frames. The black model sells for $199.99 (approximately 340 manats). The maple and walnut versions cost $229 (approximately 390 manats). Echo Time is a smart clock and speaker with a 3.2-inch touchscreen. The device does not have a camera. Its sleep-tracking system can wake the user during a lighter stage of sleep, 10-60 minutes before the selected time. The clock simulates sunrise with light and creates calming nighttime routines. The standard model sells for $199.99 (approximately 340 manats). Echo Time for children costs $209.99 (approximately 360 manats), including a 1-year Amazon Kids+ subscription.
The new Echo Dot has a more powerful speaker and 50% more bass. A 4th microphone and a sensor that measures room temperature have also been added to the model. The AZ3 chip processes Alexa+ requests faster on the device itself. The speaker also functions as a hub for controlling compatible devices throughout the home from one place. In addition, it works as an eero Wi-Fi extender, increasing internet coverage by approximately 93 square meters. The standard model sells for $99.99 (approximately 170 manats), while the children's version featuring octopus and penguin designs costs $109.99 (approximately 190 manats).
Echo Studio with Home Camera automatically adjusts the sound according to the room's layout and the user's position. Its built-in camera can be used to remotely check on pets and lights and to make video calls on a television. Alexa+ can recognize a board game or food package placed in front of the camera. The system explains the game's rules and helps reorder the product. The camera can be turned off. The new model sells for $249.99 (approximately 420 manats), while the previous version without a camera costs $219.99 (approximately 370 manats). Echo Show 16 has a 16-inch screen, built-in Fire TV, and a 13 MP camera. Compared with the previous model, the display area is 10% larger and the bezel is 40% smaller. The device can be used as a photo frame, family calendar, video-calling screen, and security camera. The standard version costs $499.99 (approximately 850 manats). The model with a Nanomatte display that reduces light reflections sells for $569.99 (approximately 970 manats).
