Every year, Amazon holds an event where it announces a litany of new devices at once. 2020 is no different, but instead of having it in their Seattle headquarters, the company is making its announcements to a small number of media invitees via video briefing that starts today at 1PM ET today. Not to worry however, because we’ll be there and we’ll be sure to update this post when it happens. Whether it be new Echos, new Ring devices or simply just more Alexa gear, expect a whole lot of Amazon news.
All-new Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Dot Clock
The new Echo has a whole new, spherical look. The Echo Dot and Echo Dot Clock will have a round shape as well. They will come in a new fabric finish too, with three different colors (Charcoal, Glacier White, Twilight Blue). It has many of the same smart hub features of the Echo Plus as well as compatibility with Amazon Sidewalk. It will cost $100, the same as last year’s Echo.
The company says that it’s made out of 100 percent post-consumer recycled fabric and 100 percent recycled die-cast aluminum. According to Amazon, the new Echo Dot will have better sound quality, with a 1.6-inch front-firing speaker. The Echo Dot will be available for pre-order today for $49.99 while the Echo Dot with clock will cost $59.99.
Eero 6 and Eero Pro 6
As predicted, Amazon has also announced new WiFi 6 Eero routers.
Ring Car Alarm and Ring Car Cam
The Amazon-owned company is launching a new Car Alarm which plugs into your vehicle’s OBD port, letting it push alerts to your phone should your car detect intrusion. You can even hit a button on your phone to trigger a siren. Ring is also selling a dash camera. The Car Cam will let you monitor (and watch) for bumps and break-ins, with real-time alerts and footage. The Ring Car Alarm will cost $60, while the Car Cam and Car Connect (for Tesla vehicles) are both priced at $200.
This post is being constantly updated during the event, so check back for more news.
