Amazon is selling the Echo Spot smart speaker for just $50 as part of its Black Friday promotion. This sale applies to multiple colors and represents a $30 discount. This isn’t a record low price, but it’s very close.
For the uninitiated, the Echo Spot is a tiny speaker/alarm clock hybrid unit. It’s a cute little doodad and looks great on the nightstand. The screen is customizable, so it doesn’t need to display a clock. It can show song titles, smart home control dashboard, weather, and more. Of course, there are many watch faces to choose from.

Not only does the Spot integrate with Amazon’s smart assistant Alexa, but it also offers access to the new Alexa+. It is a smarter and more conversational version of the iconic smart assistant. Like most modern AI products, it is still working out some bugs. However, the underlying technology is promising.
The speaker is quite good for its size, although you won’t be using it to promote a house party. This is a great tool for bedroom-based listening. This version doesn’t have a camera, which is actually great news for privacy-conscious people.
In addition to the Echo Spot, you’ll also get Black Friday deals on some of the latest Echo devices that came out just last month. The Echo Dot Max is on sale for $90, the price of the new Echo Studio has dropped to $190 and the latest Echo Show 8 is discounted to $160.
