The Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen, 2022 release) comes with some cool new features that make it even more useful around the house. Here’s what’s new:
Built-in Temperature Sensor
This version has a built-in temperature sensor that lets you set up smart home routines. For example, you can have it automatically adjust your thermostat or turn on a fan if the room gets too hot.
Improved Audio Experience
The sound quality has gotten a boost, with clearer vocals and deeper bass. This makes it even better for listening to music, podcasts, or making calls.
Enhanced LED Display
If you get the Echo Dot with Clock, you'll notice the LED display is improved. It now shows the time, alarm status, weather updates, and even song titles. Super handy for quick glances!
Eero Built-in
This one's pretty neat—the Echo Dot 5th Gen can act as a Wi-Fi extender if you have an Eero mesh network, helping to improve your home's Wi-Fi coverage.
AZ2 Neural Edge Processor
With the new AZ2 Neural Edge processor, Alexa should respond faster and more efficiently to your commands. This means quicker, more accurate responses.
Sustainability
Amazon’s made this model more eco-friendly. It’s made from 95% recycled fabric and 55% recycled plastic, which is great if you’re trying to be more environmentally conscious.
Better Tap Controls
They’ve also made it easier to interact with. You can tap the top to snooze alarms, stop timers, or control music playbacks.
All of these upgrades make the Echo Dot (5th Gen) a more integrated and useful device for your home.
Whether it’s the better sound, new automation features, or added functionality, it’s designed to make things just a bit easier and more fun around the house.
