Amazon Echo Pop release date, UK price and how to buy one today
Today, Amazon has expanded its Echo range in the UK with the Amazon Echo Pop. Find out what’s different about this brand new device, plus how much it costs and how to get your hands on one today.
Amazon’s family of Echo devices has been expanded once again and this time, there’s a new baby on board, with the pint-sized Amazon Echo Pop.
Giving a whole new design to the devices we have come to know and love, the Amazon Echo Pop is the company’s latest way of bringing Alexa to all areas of the home.
With an all-new semi-sphere shape and a range of colours including lavender and teal, the Pop is designed for bedrooms, flats, or any smaller space where the larger cylinders or sphere devices might stick out like a sore, robotic thumb.
Like the other Echo devices, the Pop has full access to Alexa, our trusty assistant who can be asked to play music, read audiobooks, make lists, and so much more.
This new device was announced alongside the latest versions of some of Amazon’s other speaker products: the Echo Show 5, the Echo Show 5 Kids and the Echo Auto.
When the products were launched, Eric Saarnio, vice president of Amazon Devices International, said: “Customers around the world love Alexa as their trusted, personal AI—they’ve now purchased well over half a billion Alexa-enabled devices, and use of Alexa increased 35 percent last year.
“These new devices give customers more options and more utility at incredible value. And as with every Echo we’ve shipped, these devices will only continue to get better as we add even more generative AI-powered experiences for Alexa throughout the year.”
To help you get a better look at the Amazon Echo Pop, the tech team at RadioTimes.com has put together this guide with everything from the price and release date to colours and specifications. Enjoy!
