In this video we tear down the new Amazon Echo 4th Gen. Amazon just released the new Amazon Echo 4th generation devices in October of 2020 and there are some major changes to the Echo lineup.

In the teardown we take apart the Amazon Echo 4th Generation and show you the parts and components inside the Amazon Echo Gen 4. Once we take apart the Amazon Echo we attempt to put it back together and see it if it still works once we rebuild the Echo smart speaker.

The biggest change Amazon made to the Echo is that the smart speakers are now spherical vs the previous generation 3 devices which were cylindrical or hockey puck shaped.

The Amazon Echo maintains the same voice assistant features and controls as the prior 3rd generation devices but a few new features have been added.

The Amazon Echo has an additional Zigbee chip built in that allows direct control of some Zigbee devices like the Phillips Hue light bulbs without the need for a separate smart home hub. The Amazon Echo 4th Generation also has a sidewalk 900mhz chip that will allow it to communicate on the long range mesh Amazon sidewalk mesh network designed for future smart home devices. The sidewalk 900mhz network is reportedly designed to be able to communicate with devices up to 1/2 mile away.

The Echo 4th Generation now has forward facing directional speakers vs the older generation having non directional speakers.

The Amazon Echo has 3 speakers, including one 3" woofer and two .8" tweeters. The Amazon Echo Dot has only one smaller speaker.

The Amazon Echo is larger and sounds better than the Echo Dot and has 30 watts of power vs the 15 watts of power in the Amazon Echo Dot.

Both the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot have the same control interface on the top of the devices and the light ring has been located at the bottom of the devices.
