hi everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and today I want to do the unboxing of the
brand new Ecco spot has a display and it's the new echo dot system I reckon
but it does cost a little bit more so it's from Amazon UK the link will be in
the description so let's get into the unboxing here in the UK cost one hundred
and nineteen ninety nine and it comes in that black or white so we've gone for
the black option as all of my other devices are black Amazon also offer a
stand that's available as well either in black or white you can place this into
and then change at multiple different angles as you can see here it just sits
on your desk if you want to so as you can see here it has a screen built into
the device and you can see that they're receiving a phone call there again you
can ask lexer loads of different information has second-generation
far-field recognition built in which is great and can work right across the room
taking a look around the box here we can see the third-party applications and
also smart home equipment that can be used with this as well so we've got the
likes of BBC Q tuning ring I've loads of different services that we can connect
to there so turn around to the back we've got some information which I'm
going to go through then also it says here about playing music show the
weather and then also using smarts home technology to show a baby camera which i
think is a neat idea so along the top there we just have Amazon so with this
new product you can watch videos news feeds music lyrics you can get weather
forecasts to do and shopping lists will be shown on this device you can listen
to all of all a books as well through audible there and you get free trial as
well Amazon music all hands-free and at the power of Alexa voice cloud services
that to use the built-in speaker to connect to speakers through Bluetooth or
audio cable which is sold separately for a multi room speaker setup which I'm
going to test out and try with this you can connect and control your smart home
devices all thanks to Alexa so with this just like the echo show you can receive
calls and messages and that's all thanks to the built-in services so you can do
this either with the echo spots the echo show and then
with the other echo devices you can receive calls and text messages and
messaging as well and also you need the Alexa app which is for iOS and Android
so with thousands of skills Alexa is always improving and learning new ideas
for your device and also new skills to teach you so now let's get into the
unboxing so if we just takes leave off him
got the nice amazon smile long button there's just a little tab pull that tab
so just taking out the echo spot well it's got a nice bit of weight to that
which is nice to feel then also we have some cables here so you have your uk3
pin at power connection here in a black plug and we have some paperwork so we
have echo spot first this just shows you around your device and connecting which
I'm going to show you ask Alexis and we can then ask Alexa a range of these
information which we will do as well and also we just have safety and warranty
information there finally just before we begin make sure you download the Amazon
Alexa app here so mine is on iOS and you can get it for Android it's already
downloaded and make sure you connect to Wi-Fi as well so just before we begin
and let me just show you around our device here so on top you do have the
cancel mic you do have volume up volume down then also you do have your
microphones there as well it's a very nice designed speaker as well you have
Amazon on the back then you have your power connection and then your jack as

in so we have English United States English United Kingdom so we're going to
English United Kingdom then it's going to ask you to select your Wi-Fi
connection here so we're going to go sky it's going to ask you to put in your

balanced as well it sounds quite good to me Alexa what's the weather today in
Prince's Risborough there's a flood alert in effect the current weather is 9
degrees with rain you can expect more of the same today with a high of 11 degrees
and a low of 4 degrees so the spot can also connect to music services music

tunak capital London from tuning subject to availability varieties are stopped
and then also when you've got other echo devices set up around your home you can
then ask it to play in multiple different areas and as you see here it
doesn't just stay on the clock face it's shown as our weather if you have
calendar appointments in there as well it also shows that and it says about
trying at new things so you say Alexa 3-minute timer so as I said when paired
with the Alexa app as well we can change more details and learn new skills here

system what you need to do is pull down and you'll see this menu system come up
you've got a home button I do not disturb just once pressed will
give you the crescent moon that we are used to play down turn this off UN have
settings and then also you have brightness so if we jump into settings
there's a whole range of settings here that I want to show you a Bluetooth
Wi-Fi home o'clock display sounds do not disturb device options restricted access
things to try help accessibility and legal and compliance so if we go into
accessibility you can get voice view screen reader which i think is fantastic
screen magnification color inversion and color correction you have got subtitles
subtitle preference or a messaging without speech that is all on a small
display but they have still thought about accessibility which i think is
absolutely fantastic and we going into more detail in my review and then you
have home and clock so inside here you have the theme
home cards and night notes so once in night mode you can toggle what's on and
a schedule we then have home cards here two home cards oh those cards that we
have on our home display finally we have theme and you can choose from analog

through you've got ten at different analog clocks that we can choose from
okay so you hit that tick and that will be that one that's what that one looks
like and you have digital and you have seven different digital clocks as well
to choose from so there is a menu system in there which i think is fantastic it's
