Google Assistant: MIA. That's incredibly frustrating considering how good Google Assistant is, and how Samsung's Google Wear OS partnership seemed to be lining up specifically to allow things like Assistant. It's hard to promise what isn't there.

— Scott Stein (@jetscott) August 13, 2021 Google Assistant should be coming sometime, I think, but it's unclear. Instead, you're stuck with Bixby as the only assistant for now. Hi, Bixby
As I said earlier: Google's excellent voice-based Assistant isn't on the Galaxy Watch 4.

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 buyer reviews, it dwarfs every other Echo device on Amazon's online store).

This is not a speaker that will envelop you in music, but it's useful for casual listening nonetheless -- and at least marginally better than the current Nest Mini and third-gen Echo Dot. That said, though some of the novelty has worn off, it's still worth standing in awe of what companies like Amazon and Google have accomplished in such an affordable product.

The pair now hope to get rich by selling their ghoulish £3.99 book about his life and crimes using Amazon's online Kindle store. But far from accepting his punishment, he has been secretly writing his warped version of events with the help of his best friend during jail visits.

Amazon even smartly kept the Dot's footprint the same as previous generations, so despite the taller frame, it won't take up more shelf space. exchanged hard plastic shells for soft cloth exteriors, and a little visual evolution is welcome.



The Amazon founder first became a billionaire in 1998, the year after Amazon went public as an online bookseller and has since increased his fortune by 12,425 percent — now raking in more than $140,000 per minute.



Bezos, who is estimated to be worth $131.9 billion, is the third richest man in the world after Tesla owner Elon Musk, who knocked him off the top spot with a net worth of $213.9 billion and Bernard Arnault, who oversees an empire of 70 brands including Louis Vuitton and Sephora, according to Forbes.

It remains a great entry point to voice assistance and the smart home, but I'd probably recommend a sale-priced, third-edition Dot before shelling out much more for the newest generation. And if you're after sound quality or hoping to really jump-start your smart home, the $100 Echo will be a much better investment than a Dot. As a result, the 2020 Dot feels non-essential.

Its 1.6-inch speaker is more powerful than the third-gen's 1.1-inch speaker, but that half-inch upgrade isn't as meaningful as the half-inch between the second- and third-gen Dots. For perspective, the new Dot at 90% volume is about equivalent to the third-gen Dot at max. Dotting your ears The new Echo Dot's big change, other than in profile, is in sound.



If you listen to trap music or hip-hop, it simply won't sound very full on the new Echo Dot -- and Lil Wayne is much less enjoyable when his higher pitched rasp isn't counterbalanced by booming bass. The bass, which has never been strong in small speakers like Echo Dots and Nest Minis, Ebook remains particularly weak here.



But pressed on both sides by the superior smarts and sound of the $100 Echo and the only slightly inferior Echo Dot at huge discounts? Is a new Echo Dot worth $50? The answer isn't so straightforward. In a vacuum, definitely.

Two Echo Dots can still be paired for stereo sound, but I can't imagine recommending this over buying a better quality $100 speaker, like the Nest Audio or 2020 Echo. Ditto setting up surround sound for your home theater.



Amazon, like its competitors, profits immeasurably from people using their devices, talking to Alexa, teaching their technology and providing vast amounts of private data for free. With this continual impressiveness, though, does come the trade-off of privacy. Using a Dot, as with any Echo device, requires you to use an Amazon account, which means agreeing to the company's terms and conditions. This is the problem of voice technology, and it remains mostly unchanged with this new Dot. I've written extensively about the problems of this structure, both for market competition and for individual privacy.

This year's Kids Dot adds a fun tiger- or panda-themed design and genuinely interesting kid-facing content that you won't get on other Echo devices without a subscription (the Kids Dot comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+, which normally costs $3/month). They feel more sensitive to customer needs. Last year's Dot with Clock was a great device, adding a small-but-useful upgrade to the Dot. These alternative Dots use the exact same basic hardware, but they're more exciting products in part because they represent something beyond simple iterative improvement.
