Echo Dot 5th Gen: una actualización estratégica para tu hogar inteligente durante Prime Day

Posted on by


You can find all manner of deals during Amazon Prime Day, but you can always count on the eponymous retail giant to knock a decent amount off its own range of smart home devices — its Echo Dot speakers being one of them.

My humilde pequeño Echo Pop is still working and for the most part, its performance and features are satisfactory, but I feel a change is coming, and that change might just be the Echo Dot 5th Gen — one of the best smart speakers you can get.

Some Prime Day discounts can be restricted to the US and UK respectively, but that’s not the case for the Echo Dot. Amazon US has knocked $20 off taking the smart speaker to a reasonable $29.99 (was $49.99), and Amazon UK has a similar offer, with the speaker going for £28.49 (was £54.99).

Today’s best Echo Dot (5th Gen) deals

The Amazon Echo Dot is down to less than $30 for Prime Day. Amazon’s best-selling smart speaker offers improved audio, a new temperature sensor, and all the handy Alexa features just a voice command away, such as playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather. A steal at this price.View Deal

Amazon’s best-selling Echo Dot is down to under £30 for Prime Day – a good offer, but it did reach a previous record-low of £22.99. Nevertheless, the Echo Dot offers an improved audio experience, plus a new temperature sensor and all the handy features from Alexa, like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free. As far as a cheap and cheerful smart speaker goes, it’s one of the better options out there.View Deal

The bog-standard Echo Pop has been my loyal smart home companion for a few years and while it’s done me good, I fear that it’s served its time. If you’re in the same boat as me, the Echo Dot 5th Gen could be the answer.

La principal mejora con este Echo Dot es el sensor de temperatura ambiental, ideal para personalizar tus rutinas de Alexa — puedes hacer que el altavoz ejecute ciertas funciones cuando la habitación alcance una temperatura determinada. Por ejemplo, si hace demasiado calor y necesitas algo de sombra, podrías configurar que controle tus persianas inteligentes para coincidir con los cambios de calor.

Aunque es una mejora significativa respecto a otros altavoces básicos, el Echo Dot sigue siendo un modelo sencillo y fácil de usar, perfecto si no te gusta dedicar mucho tiempo a aprender una nueva pieza de tecnología en tu casa.

En cuanto al sonido, ofrece un grave ligeramente mejorado en comparación con su predecesor, pero ya mencionamos en nuestra reseña que es, ante todo, un altavoz inteligente y no un sistema de audio. Dicho esto, no debería ser un problema si lo usas para llenar el silencio en un espacio pequeño donde no quieres subir mucho el volumen a un altavoz Bluetooth tradicional.

En resumen, el Echo Dot 5th Gen es una actualización sólida si has estado utilizando modelos antiguos de Amazon hasta ahora. También es una gran central de smart home para conectar otros dispositivos en tu ecosistema, y ahora que la nueva Alexa+ está en acceso anticipado, no necesitas actualizar al Echo Dot Max o Echo Studio para sacar el máximo provecho de sus funciones.
