Amazon Echo Dot 4th Gen: A Worthy Upgrade

The new Echo Dot 4th gen is here! If you already have the older version, this video will help you figure out if you should upgrade. I will test the speakers and microphones, plus show how big the Dot’s new round design really looks in person.

*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

I got the dot for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Great little piece of kit. I don’t use it a great deal for main music because I have a audio pro drumfire. But the assistant side a podcasts and background music. Really impressed. My first Alexa this is.

Bought one with clock and still waiting for it! Thanks for the review!!!

Love to see the notification that you uploaded another video. Thanks Reed, big fan of your work!

The upgrade in quality from Gen 2 to Gen 3 was amazing. I just upgraded to Gen 4 and I am equally impressed. The response is faster and the sound is richer and fuller. I love all of my Echo Dots.

I completely agree that this mediatek powered echo dot (4th gen) is definitely a worthy update. Reasonable price point and accessible features makes for a pretty decent deal. for consumers.

[TjFruichantie]

Okay, the ending was awesome! Echo for the strike!

[ericyoung]

I think the upgrade to the spherical shape similar to the Apple Home Pod Mini (upside down) is quite cool and handy! and the integration of mediatek's AI tech also promises to make Alexa voice commands even faster
, which makes the whole upgrade even better

[harryodilli]

i like that the amazon echo dot lets u control ur smart home with a few voice commands, make calls, stream music and whatnot. plus the mediatek chipset inside really handles everything so smoothly.

Pre ordered the 4th gen

I was looking forward to a comparison
After watching your video I didn't need to watch another
Thanks 😊

[MakeMoneyGuide]

Your videos are splendid! Thank you for giving me a new perspective to contemplate!

[benjaminlee]

I agree that it is indeed a worthy upgrade in terms of both design as well as performance.

[MusicMonkey]

Great review! I haven't really seen a good audio comparison like you did as well as microphones. I think you covered pros and cons a bunch. Especially with the price drop of the 3rd gen and most of the prime day sales around it.

[cesaraguilera]

Great video, tolerable, and I love the smooth narration nothing too savvy to bare.

[nasser]

I love how you muted the part where you said alexa.. otherwise my alexa would have been triggered

[Huh-Xoxo]

I just got mine! Took me a while to realize its 4th gen. Its so cute!

[BookTubene]

Mine arrives tomorrow, can't wait to try it out

[tonilynn]

I just got this for my husband as a surprise for his office.. I love the speaker quality that is why I went with the 4th.

[dwayneshaffer]

I love the new feature as a bowling ball s well so funny! I don't see a need to upgrade right now and I ordered several 3rd Gens for $19 as gifts and several Echo Show 5s and 8s for gifts as well on Prime Day. I like the round design and the new audio quality but don't see it as a huge improvement. I might get one when they go on sale as they always do lol!

[sydneyweston]

I just ordered two. I hate the new design, but the upgraded audio/sound is what settled it for me.
