WIRELESS SPEAKERS and devices with built-in AI-powered voice assistants are a rage these days. Imagine playing your favorite music, fetching news updates, adding things to your shopping list or controlling compatible home appliances with just a voice command.
Smart voice assistants for smartphones had been there for a while but Amazon popularised this concept for homes with its virtual assistant Alexa. From just being speakers, the category has evolved into smart devices. While some of the popular virtual assistants include Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, Google's Assistant and Microsoft's Cortana, only smart devices powered by Alexa and Google Assistant are widely available in the country. These are commonly known as smart speaker Alexa and smart speaker Google.
Interestingly, you can interact with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa in Hindi as well. If you are planning to get one, here is the list of all latest smart speakers and displays introduced in the country.
ECHO DOT 3RD GEN
Having been the best-selling Alexa-powered device from Amazon's portfolio, the Echo Dot not just answers all your queries but can be used to control Wi-Fi-enabled smart devices too. This compact circular speaker with a fabric design looks good and has four microphones to pick up the command from any corner of the room. Available at ̀ 3,999, the Echo Dot third generation often retails for ̀ 2,499 during Amazon sales.
