Amazon 's new 24-year-old Echo Spot doesn't have a camera, so you can't use it for video calling.
It's a fine-enough size for seeing the time or a song you're playing, but you don't get some of the fun rounded clock faces the older Echo Spot had.
The Spot is still a great smart speaker if you want an informational assistant and visuals without the clutter.
The Echo Spot's balance of screen info without rolling clutter makes it a great addition almost anywhere in the house.
Unlike regular smart displays or the newer Hub , the Spot doesn't have a smart home control area on the menu.
The only thing that the Echo Spot lacks is, unfortunately, good sound.
Compared to the significantly cheaper Echo Dot , there's some clarity missing.
