The actual footprint of the speaker is very similar to the previous version, but with a lot more height. That has also had an inescapable impact on the Dot's size - it's got a lot taller, effectively. ![]() There's no getting around it - Amazon changed the Echo Dot's design pretty radically, going from that distinctive puck shape to a globe of a smart speaker in the 2020 version.
