Amazon Echo devices get steep discounts ahead of Black Friday
The next round of Amazon Black Friday deals has begun, with most of the company’s Echo speakers receiving heavy discounts. And considering these are the latest Echos with the new spherical design that only became available about one month ago, the deals are the best we’ve seen so far. These discounts join the slew of deals that started on Friday, which slashed the prices of most of Amazon’s Fire T
V devices. Check out the list below for the best Amazon Echo Black Friday deals we could find.All-new Echo Dot - $29 Engadget Amazon updated the Echo Dot this fall and now we’re seeing its first major discount. The new Echo Dot is down to $29, which is 42 percent off its normal price. It looks quite different from the previous generation (which is also on sale for $19) thanks to its new spherical design. That’s one of the reasons we gave the Echo Dot a score of 89, and we also liked its improved sound quality, 3.5mm audio jack and tap-to-snooze feature. If you want the convenience of a glanceable clock, the Echo Dot with clock is also on sale for $39.
