Here are the products announced during Amazon’s hardware event

Amazon’s latest Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock offer a minimalist look but deliver excellent sound thanks to a dedicated full-range driver, delivering twice the bass of previous models and, at the same time, delivering clear vocals. In addition to voice improvements, the devices also have new sensors, enabling Alexa contextual experiences and gesture controls. The Echo Dot with Clock can now display more information than previous models, thanks to the upgraded high-density dot display. If that wasn’t enough, new models will also have eero integration, giving the Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock the ability to misbehave with Wi-Fi extenders.

The Amazon Echo Studio isn’t exactly a new product, but the company did announce it in a new color, Glacier, during a recent hardware event.

One of the best that Amazon has to offer, the Echo speaker is based on Echo speaker technology and takes things a step further by adding spatial audio support and frequency range extension. The smart speaker delivers the best sound no matter what type of content is being listened to. Best of all, the complex and powerful sound comes from a single product and doesn’t rely on a huge bulky setup. Echo Studio costs $199.99.

There will only be one color, Tungsten, but the unit will be available in three different models, with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB internal storage options. Kindle Scribe will start at $339, with pre-orders starting today and shipping on November 30th.

Moreover, it can display stylized images and art pieces taken from a collection of more than 1,500 options.
