Though it seemed the days of cramming Alexa into every imaginable form factor had passed, Amazon has built yet another new body for its voice assistant. The Echo Pop smart speaker puts Alexa even closer in reach with a modern, compact design that should fit in almost every corner of a home.
With its fabric swathed face propped up on a circular wedge, the Echo Pop looks like an Amazon Echo Dot that’s been sliced in half on a diagonal. But it’s not half the price — the Echo Pop is $39.99, or only $10 less than the Echo Dot. Then, you might be wondering, why would you not just get an Echo Dot?
