What we got wrong about Alexa and the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot in our original reviews of the devices, how these speakers now compare to Google speakers and how Alexa compares to the Google Assistant, and we'll discuss whether in 2023 its now better to go for Amazon smart speakers over Google Assistant speakers.
We'll review what's new with the latest generation of Echo and Echo Dot speakers, the improvements Amazon made to the hardware design and how it compares to smart speakers from Google and Apple. We'll also take a look at how fast the response time is for Alexa, how that compares to the Google Assistant in our experience, the progress Amazon has made in search queries and smart home control with it's assistant, the setup process for these devices, sound quality, and which speakers we recommend people should pick up.

I switched primarily to Amazon dots (I am not fussed about sound quality) a while ago because I liked their functionality better and also as mentioned how they can link to kindle and audible. They work with Apple music also and I prefer the answers and speed. I also prefer the smart doorbell. Probably the main reason however was the single word "call" phrase 'Alexa' for general enquiries rather than "Hey Google" which I often had to repeat. (I know you can set up shortcuts but not worth the effort)

Josh, for the echo dot 4th gen, it does not have a zigbee hub whereas the Echo does. It’s not a big issue, but I have motion sensors that are Zigbee and it was nice to not have to get another hub.

Both Alexa and Google Assistant on Sonos provide a sub-standard experience. Not all commands and options for either are available on Sonos. I found it rather frustrating, and that's why I no longer use them on Sonos. I actually like the Sonos assistant on Sonos (works fine for music). And I have a couple Echos for Alexa (Google devices have always been wonky for me).

Strongly agree with everything said here. I set up both Google Home and Amazon Echo devices throughout my house when I moved 7 years ago. At first Google seemed light years ahead. But over the past 2-3 years, it seems Google has gotten noticeably slower and the Echo has gotten noticeably better. I now use the Echo for all my daily asks (weather, time, news) because I can't stand the small delay every time I ask the Home, and as mentioned their ability to answer more complex questions is now very comparable.

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ru-vid.comUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

Is it worth getting an Amazon echo for my first smart speaker instead of a Sonos roam? I like Sonos more for it’s portability, but also I put the sound quality to doubt. Is Sonos sounding good enough as an Amazon echo?

Like your video. I think that depends the language and country that you in. I'm from Portugal and the Google assistant in Portuguese doesn't permit that you do routines and other stuff but the Alexa you can talk in Portuguese and she understands.

Hey Josh - Thanks this was so helpful. I stored my Echo Dot 3rd Gen devices in storage last year when I moved over to everything Google. But I recently brought it back after watching this video and observed the exact same things s you . For example, the Echo Dot responsed better and faster to all my questions and seemed to work better at controlling all my smart devices. The Echo Dot is also more open minded when it comes to my Son's DJ requests when connecting with Sonos for whole house or room specific music as compared with my Google Nest Mini and Google Home Hub. Daily news feed wise and App wise I still like my Google Home Beta over the Alexa app but it just seems like Echo and Alexa got smarter and better over the last year. The Echo Dot also gives me better jokes and often holds me captive for Amazon shopping deals. My 7 year old actually told me he thinks Alexa assistant is now smarter than Google Assistant. He used to say the same thing about Cortana back in the day (what happened to her). As much as I hate dinging on the "Big G", I have to admit that I had the same eye opening experience at my home. Thanks as always for making things so relatable and relevant. Happy St. Paddy's Day in advance.

Should I buy the echo 4 for 60€ or the echo dot 5 for 32€? I am only interested in the sound quality. I know that the echo 4 has a better Sound quality but is it worth it the 30€ more or should I buy the small echo dot 5? 🙂

Connect Echo Dot to your own speaker via 3.5mm aux, Bluetooth, or setting your Preferred Speaker and also has a good dimensity chip.
