Looking at the back of the device, you will see that a power port and a MicroUSB port are also present on it. A good thing is that the machine comes with a long cable, which means that you don’t have to be too picky about where to place it.
Even when you just leave it idle, the device shows you information that is related to various trending topics and this changes every single day. If you feel interested in any of these, you can ask Alexa to tell you more about them. Alexa helped us with most of the things we asked it to do. However, there were times when it encountered problems while stopping one task to start the other. So suppose the speaker was playing videos and we asked it to do something completely different, at times, it did not follow the command or had a delayed response. We recommend just using the quick settings on the top bar to do certain things like going back to the Home screen between various tasks. Since the display of the device is big in size, we found it to not only be good for watching videos, but also for reading text when the smart speaker was placed at a distance. One thing that we could not test during our time with the device was its ability to work with other smart home appliances, which the company claims it can do brilliantly.
Verdict
On the upside, if you buy it, it is a device that can be used for a number of different uses that we have talked about in the review. If you purchase it, you will find it to be very useful, but then as we mentioned earlier, you will also find most of these functions in other gadgets. The question here is only about whether you think having them together in a single device with Alexa thrown in is worth the price or not. We somehow think it is. Pros
Great sound output Comes pre-loaded with some content Easily connects with other devices
Cons
Alexa can sometimes give delayed results Switching between tasks can be better Display could have been better
