Amazon Echo Dot 2 - Unboxing and Review

I got a first-look at the brand new Amazon Echo Dot Gen 2. It's Amazon's latest Alexa-powered product bringing voice control for $50. In this video, we will unbox and discuss the pros and cons of this product and briefly demonstrate some features.

There isn't too much improvement over the Dot from Gen 1 (which costs $90), but the new Dot is significantly cheaper and slightly smaller. The Dot needs to always be plugged in via USB. The voice recognition is pretty good even when music is playing. However, it is not something ideal for using in your car (WiFi needed) or restaurant (too noisy). Also, it generally takes 3 seconds after your voice command for Alexa to process your query.

You can get Alexa to control certain appliances such as WeMo devices, read Kindle books, buy Amazon items, and play Amazon Prime music. The Alexa app handles all the features, but certain features are still quite rudimentary. For example, voice control is limited in certain commands. Alexa does answer questions that are not hard-coded, and customers can do very little to personalize the way they interact with her. All voice commands are recorded and uploaded on Amazon servers in hopes to improve your experience. Also, none of the Alexa-powered products provide alerts such as email or phone-call.

An Echo Dot can be placed in multiple rooms. However, the product does not seem ready for that because occasionally multiple Echo Dots would attempt to answer your request, even though Amazon has put good efforts at preventing this. Moreover, you are limited to playing Amazon Prime music in one room at a time so multi-room audio is still not available as of now.

Ultimately, its still a good platform for basic tasks considering the price. But technically speaking, it is very limited and could have a better potential that has yet to be reached.
