The Echo Dot is Amazon’s most popular smart speaker.
More than 53 million units of the Amazon Echo series were sold last year, with numbers predicted to hit 65 million in 2021.
With its reworked ball design and improved sound quality, Amazon say their fourth generation dot is better than ever, supporting not just Amazon's own music streaming services but also Spotify, Apple and Deezer.
The Echo Dot can also be used to control other Amazon home devices too, allowing the user to turn on lights, play music, adjust thermostats or even lock doors.
With Black Friday on the horizon, pricing for the Echo Dot may be lowered in the coming months.
Previous announcements of the Amazon Echo have taken place in late September, released in the US in October, so a new generation of the device may also have an impact on pricing.
Where to buy
The most obvious choice for customers is to buy the device directly from Amazon.
A standard 4th edition Echo Dot currently stands on the market for £49.99, with an alternative option to pay £10 for five months.
The benefit of buying directly from Amazon is you have 30 days to decide if it is for you.
Within those 30 days, Amazon offers a robust returns policy and will return the cost back to you.
However, it is beneficial to shop around if you want to get your hands on the Amazon Echo Dot for the best price.
