Besides just phones and laptops, there are a variety of speakers equipped with voice assistants. Among which, Amazon Echo is one such dominating player. A year back, Amazon launched a range of Amazon Echo speakers – the Echo Dot, Echo and the Echo Plus, across different price ranges. All three speakers are designed for home entertainment and can do a lot more than just playing songs for you.
