Amazon Echo Dot (2020) Review: The $50 smart speaker to skip

Amazon is switching up the design for its most popular smart speaker.

Chris Monroe/CNET

2018’s third-gen Echo Dot has been one of the best smart speakers in the short history of smart speakers. Its combination of a clever voice assistant and impressive hardware packed into a tiny device with an even tinier price made it wildly and understandably popular (in sheer number of reviews, it dwarfs every other Echo device on Amazon’s online store).

Now, Amazon’s new Echo Dot faces a problem. It’s a solid smart speaker and an easy entry point into the market, but it’s competing with 2018’s still-excellent Dot, which has seen prices in recent weeks as low as $19. And on the other end of the price spectrum, Amazon’s new $100 full-size Echo represents a serious upgrade in sound quality and smart home control.

India’s e-commerce battle: Flipkart and Amazon compete for record festive sales

Emilee Geist 1 week ago

But this year is particularly important as the world reels from economic fallout caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Millions of Indian shoppers are still wary of venturing into physical stores, and Meena expects online sales to grow more than 34% to $6.5 billion this year.

“This is the time when consumers are actually in spending mode,” he said, adding that the roughly one-month sales period is expected to account for 18% of India’s total online shopping for 2020. “That’s why every company wants to win the battle during the festive period.”

Flipkart’s competitive edge during the festive season

Flipkart was India’s single-largest online retailer in 2018 with 31.9% market share, according to the most recent report from Forrester. Walmart bought the homegrown company for $16 billion in 2018.

Flipkart’s seasonal shopping event, Big Billion Days, kicked off on Friday.

Shop Small Business, Get $10 Back | Amazon

In an effort to support small businesses this Prime Day, Amazon has created an initiative that nets you $10 for every $10 or more you spend with small businesses. “Unfortunately, even if you’d like to pull away from online shopping entirely, it’s not always feasible when you need an uncommon item in a pinch. For those moments, or if you’re too far out to make it into your nearest local shops but still want to help, Amazon will give you $10 to spend on Prime Day for every $10 you spend at select small businesses,” writes Jordan McMahon, Tech Editor at The Inventory.

I’ve put together ten items under $15 you can buy so you can get the credit and support a small business today. These items and this promotion help make treating yourself today possible— because you deserve
