Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen) Smart Speaker with Alexa
The spherical 4th Generation Echo Dot is an Alexa smart speaker for music, voice assistance, routines and compatible smart-home control. It is a later generation than the puck-shaped Echo Dot 3rd Gen, but it is not Amazon's newest Echo Dot hardware.

3rd Gen vs 4th Gen
