Amazon Echo Pop review in 5 points

Design  The new Echo Pop comes in a semi-sphere form factor, is quite compact, and is available in a range of funky colours such as purple and green. The flat front has an LED on top, while the topmost portion of the device sports buttons for volume control and mic off.

Features The Echo Pop promises powerful audio and Alexa's smarts encased in a stylish design. You can stream music on demand, control smart home devices, set alarms and timers, get news &weather updates, perform web searches, etc, all using voice.

Performance The Echo Pop responds to voice commands quickly, though voice detection could be a tad better. As far as the audio quality is concerned the bass lacks punch, but otherwise, the audio is surprisingly good, especially considering how small it is.

Verdict For its asking price of Rs 4,999, the Echo Pop can be a useful addition to your home, especially if you're just getting acquainted with Alexa. The Pop is small, compact and not too pricey, and offers decent audio as well. Alexa's smart capabilities, and being able to play music and controlling smart home devices using voice can be quite handy too.
