Google's recent Nest Audio is vaguely rectangular, and Apple's soon-to-launch HomePod Mini is similarly spheroidal. Ball is life The best changes to the fourth-gen Echo might be sound quality and home smarts, but the most obvious change is its spherical design. Of course, this design isn't some aesthetic revelation: Most smart speakers look basically interchangeable at this point, with a layer of fabric mesh over soft geometric shapes.
Both speakers, though, really capture the texture of vocal-heavy music. The Echo, with its slightly better low range, sounds slightly better to my ear when playing Johnny Cash's gravelly baritone in Hurt, whereas the Nest Audio sounds slightly crisper in its treatment of Lianne La Havas's subtle vibrato in No Room for Doubt. 6:34
That said, if you prefer more acoustic music, the Nest Audio provides marginally better performance of complex, midrange-heavy songs.
With the brand endorsed by popular Bollywood celebrities, the duo has cashed in on growing e-commerce adoption in India by offering its products on platforms such as Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart. Mamaearth was co-founded by Varun Alagh, a former Hindustan Unilever executive, and his wife Ghazal.
Use the dedicated power, volume and mute buttons to control your compatible TV, soundbar and receiver. Users can also launch and control their favourite movies and TV shows with the Alexa Voice Remote.
MUMBAI, June 21 (Reuters) - Sequoia Capital-backed Indian skincare startup Mamaearth is in talks to raise at least $300 million in a planned IPO next year and is seeking a valuation of around $3 billion, three people with direct knowledge of the company's plans told Reuters.
With a neat and compact 5.5-inch touch screen display, the Echo Show 5 helps control your smart home devices, plays TV programmes and films via Prime Video, Netflix and more, and connects with friends and family.
CEO Alagh told the Business Standard newspaper in January that 70% of Mamaearth's sales come from online platforms, but it was targetting a bigger offline presence and aiming to reach 40,000 retail outlets in 100 cities this year.
Using Alexa to control your TV and dual Echoes for stereo sound as you stream is cool -- it's much better than you could do a few years ago. But the kinks still aren't worked out to the extent I want them to be, so I still wouldn't recommend picking up new Echoes for your entertainment center unless you have fantastic Wi-Fi and don't plan to use the speakers for music, too.

To technologist and public data access activist Carl Malamud, the AWS outage highlights how much Big Tech has warped the internet, which was originally designed as a distributed and decentralized network intended to survive mass disasters such as nuclear attack.

Practically, that could mean a larger functional network for devices toward the edges of your property -- say, outdoor lights or Tile tracking devices -- or Classic Litrature even beyond. It's a cool idea, though how much you benefit from it will largely depend on where you live, and how big of a change it will represent for most customers remains to be seen.

The number of online shoppers for beauty products is also projected to rise to 135 million from 25 million during that period, it added. One equity research analyst, however, said the success of Mamaearth's IPO could hinge on how it plans to rapidly expand into offline sales.
Most Indians still go to retail outlets to shop, with e-commerce accounting for just 5-6% of spending.
These alternative Dots use the exact same basic hardware, but they're more exciting products in part because they represent something beyond simple iterative improvement. This year's Kids Dot adds a fun tiger- or panda-themed design and genuinely interesting kid-facing content that you won't get on other Echo devices without a subscription (the Kids Dot comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+, which normally costs $3/month). Last year's Dot with Clock was a great device, adding a small-but-useful upgrade to the Dot. They feel more sensitive to customer needs.
It remains a great entry point to voice assistance and the smart home, but I'd probably recommend a sale-priced, third-edition Dot before shelling out much more for the newest generation. As a result, the 2020 Dot feels non-essential. And if you're after sound quality or hoping to really jump-start your smart home, the $100 Echo will be a much better investment than a Dot.
