Amazon Echo Flex (2019)

Compact size ; Inconspicuous ; Has audio output jack ; An independent Alexa speaker ; Very affordable

Compact and wire-free ; Very easy to set up and use ; Charge your devices using the USB

Sound quality is poor ; Multifunction button is pointless

While nobody needs to have Alexa in every single room, it is actually very useful to have. This cheap smart speaker is a great way to fill the gaps around your home without having messy cables or devices lying around everywhere - it just plugs directly...

Inexpensive. Easy to set up and use. Fully functional Alexa voice capabilities.

Weak audio. Works best with a high, unobscured wall outlet.

Bottom Line: The Amazon Echo Flex is a tiny plug-in speaker that lets you add Alexa voice assistant features to any room of the house.

Small enough to plug in anywhere ; Built-in Alexa for voice commands ; Offers key Alexa features like Drop In ; Connects to external speakers

Basic design ; Tiny speaker ; Limited mic range ; Lacks Zigbee and Dolby

Cheap and compact ; Doubles up as a USB charger ; Clever add ons

Plugs directly into an AC outlet ; Seamless setup if you already own Echo devices ; Modular design for add-ons such as a night light and a motion sensor ; Full-on Alexa functionality

Tinny audio isn't suitable for music playback ; No AC passthrough socket

While it’s certainly no music speaker (nor was it intended to be), the compact, plug-in Echo Flex makes for a great way to put Alexa in places where other Echo speakers won’t quite fit. We also love the Flex’s modular design, which allows for such...

Compact & Highly Portable ; 3.5mm Audio Output ; USB Type-A For Charging

Loudspeakers Not Meant For Music

The price for the Echo Flex is Rs 2,999 and it’s available on Amazon India. The Flex is currently the cheapest Echo device with a compact design and offers a wire-free experience. The speaker is good for voice commands and smart home control, not meant...

Compact and portable ; USB-A charging port, 3.5mm audio jack

Weak speaker for music playback ; Misses the signature light ring

Portable ; USB-A Port ; Costs less

Average audio quality ; Costs less
