(Image credit: Jeramy Johnson / Android Central)īoth devices have a 1.6-inch speaker, but the 4th Generation model makes it a front-facing model. The 3rd Gen model also gives you buttons with a "tactile and satisfying click," while the 4th Gen model - similar to the larger Echo (4th Gen) speaker - also has a nice click and blends more seamlessly into the fabric, but may not be quite as responsive as the previous model. With the Echo Dot 4th Gen, the bottom LED is bright but more "problematic" because it means the full height of the device must be visible from any angle, or else you won't be able to tell what color is flashing or whether it's listening to you. Our Echo Dot 3rd Generation reviewer felt that the old LED array was "segmented" and "not quite as smooth" as other Echo devices - but it was, at least, easily visible due to its placement. With the 3rd Gen model, you have a hard plastic top that makes the buttons more visible and shows off the trademark LED array. The ball-shaped Echo Dot 4th Gen has fabric covering the entire top portion, with blended buttons slightly elevated on its top and the LED ring has been moved to the bottom. The second change is much more obvious: Both Echos are the same width, but the 4th Gen took on a spherical shape that's twice as tall as the sardine can-shaped 3rd Gen model. Amazon alleges that it processes Alexa commands twice as fast as its 3rd Generation Echos we can't validate this with 100% certainty, but our Echo Dot 4th Gen reviewer was totally satisfied with the response time to his commands.Īmazon Echo Dot 4th Gen with Clock, 3rd Gen with Clock, and 4th Gen (Image credit: Jeramy Johnson / Android Central) The AZ1 Neural Chip makes your Alexa commands faster than ever before, and the Echo Dot gives you access to this upgrade at a fair price.įirst and foremost, upgrading to the 4th Generation model gets you the AZ1 Neural Edge chip.
