Key Facts





The fourth generation Echo ditches the cylindrical design of the previous Echo lineup and instead features an orb-like design.





The Echo Dot Kids Edition comes with Panda and Tiger-themed designs.





Amazon says the speaker runs on an AZ1 Neural Edge processor, a silicon module built with chip company MediaTek, that processes audio commands on-device before they are sent to the cloud, making Alexa responses faster.
