Thank you Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com today I'll have another episode of video on Amazon Echo Dot second generation Which I have right here now. This is Going to be a short unboxing video and brief review however the main purpose of the video is that I will explain you why I bought Echo Dot second generation after buying Echo Dot third generation because Echo Dot third generation is actually more improved than second generation and it has a better speaker Which is right here. However in this video I'll just quickly do an unboxing and then I'll just you know explain why I purchased this after using the third generation so even in the beginning if you just look at the both of the Echo Dot second and third Packaging then you can tell right to it that second generation is so much smaller. So for example, this is the third generation and You can see that this is much, you know The bulkier and this is the second generation. It's much slimmer So if I put it this way then you can actually see that you know how small is this and then once I do the unboxing Then I'll show you come. I'll compare, you know the actual device So those of you who are not familiar with Echo Dot Echo Dot is a speaker which gives you access to artificial intelligence Powered cloud based Amazon Alexa, which can help you doing various things So for example, if you take a look here, then it can you know play songs dim your lights It can set up alarm and it can give you a weather so it can do various Things and it can make your life easier So before started using Echo Dot third my Alexa for the first time I thought, you know, I've never Talked to someone which is a machine or not a live human being that was my thought But then once I started using Alexa then I got used to it and now I feel like I cannot live this without this anymore So let's finish the unboxing Let's open up this Echo Dot second generation and The packaging is very similar even the box and is the almost the same just it's slimmer So I'm going to just open it here And I'll keep this here So here we have the second generation And it has some of the features right here and if you're in Canada, then they listed some of the Canadian and news media you can have access to using Amazon Alexa our skills and then Here some of the features right here. So Designed around your voice Echo Dot connects to Alexa cloud based voice service that is always getting a smart and voice control to your speaker far field voice recognition and The voice control your smart home. So basically you can do a lot of things just using your voice You have to just tell Alexa what do you think it can purchase stuff on Amazon and it can connect to your Bluetooth Now Let's take out this one here. So here looks like we have a tape here and Okay, so I Can just remove this and I'll put it in there okay, so it's coming out very quickly and Okay, looks like I can just slide it out and the box is empty. So I'll just you know put the box in here and So we have the second generation Alexa right Echo Dot right here Okay, I'll go back come back to the device later. Let me just take a look what else we have here So we have a small brochure which I had that with the other one too and It just you know tells you how to connect and what to do So I'll just leave it here and then here. They're just giving you some suggestions that you know what Alexa can do So play music alarm timer sports shop Amazon. So Questions and answers smart home Use this any time then there's another important product information Okay, so I'm just you know said this is right here and then looks like we have Adapter here Just take this out Okay, so Amazon added an adapter which I had also one with the Echo Dot third generation so let's put it in here and then a USB Micro USB cable which is right here Okay So this is it now So now if you compare with both of these devices, this is the third generation and this is the I'm sorry This is the second generation and this is the third generation. You can see that how significantly smaller the Second generation is so if I remove these covers Okay, so I remove the cover and Now so here I'm holding the third and here is the second and you can see that how much smaller and how much handier It's this one. So it looks like this one doesn't have the covering or jacket like the third one and Another significant Difference is that this one actually Connects it to a Electric power outlet or power cable which is right there But this one is connected through USB or micro sorry micro USB Okay. Now the reason why I bought this This is a very handy and lightweight device comparing this and I mainly bought this To use when I travel because you know when you travel Alexa can help you in lots of different ways and In the future, I'll have actually more Videos on how Alexa can help you travel and planning your vacation and even when you are in a foreign country If you take Alexa with you then how Alexa can help I'll have videos on that But the reason behind my buying this is just to take this with me because this is very lightweight it wouldn't take up any space and I can you know easily travel with this device and Another plus point. This one has is that powered by micro USB cable unlike this one, which is powered by a Amazon and Amazon cable Or Amazon power output for this one. You don't have to Carry any additional power cable. So you can just like you know use any cable or any micro USB Outlet or micro USB cable just to connect this and even I have a feeling that you can use a power bank to power this Which I'll test it later Not in this video. So that's my main reason to carry this with me wherever whenever I'm going to different places So it can help me with lots of things and then another Significant difference between these two is that this one has a better speaker than this one But I connected my Alexa my echo dot 3 with an additional Bluetooth the speaker So which what it means that you know, it doesn't make any difference Whether you have the second generation or third generation if you are using an additional speaker because you are not using the Built-in speaker right here. So for that reason, it's a better buy the second generation because it's a lot cheaper so It can When I bought it, it was on sale But like even if it's not on sale if you are paying the full price This is a lot cheaper than the second generation and then the third generation so in terms of that this is a better buy and You know very lightweight and powered by micro USB cable not by Regular DC cable like this one. So this one Looks like you know has more benefit or it has more features Especially if you're not using its own speaker and if you're traveling so for that reason I prefer to have this one with me, you know, if I'm going somewhere and For those of you who do not have any echo device yet And if you have an a Bluetooth speaker or if you're planning to connect your echo dot to your Bluetooth speaker I don't see any point why you're going to spend More money a lot more money on this one instead of buying this one because you know, you're not going to be using the built-in speaker you can see here that you know, this one is So much smaller and it looks better too in terms of features and static looks So that's all what I wanted to talk about So if you haven't subscribed already subscribed now because there will be more videos coming out I'll see you shortly. Thank you
