Amazon discontinues one of its popular bedside speakers

Amazon recently launched a newer, much cheaper alternative to its 2017 bedside speaker, the Echo Spot. The new version costs just $80, whereas the older model was priced to sell for $150, and packs upgraded hardware, better visuals, as well as improved audio quality.

Well, it looks like Amazon wants to push the new Echo Spot as hard as possible, so it decided to remove one of its most popular bedside speakers to make room for the new one.

The US-based retailer told The Verge that the Echo Dot with Clock will be discontinued: “You can check the product page for the latest device availability, but once inventory of this generation Echo Dot with Clock is sold through it will not be restocked.”

The smaller Echo Dot with Clock costs $20 less than the new version of the Echo Spot since it lacks a big display and doesn’t support animations. However, many would argue that the Echo Dot with Clock is a lot more visually pleasing than the Echo Spot, especially for a device that’s meant to sit on your nightstand.
