The 4th Gen Echo (opens in new tab) (the larger, slightly more expensive flagship model) also has Dolby audio on board, and the much pricier Echo Studio (opens in new tab) sports Dolby Atmos. You can pair more than one Echo Dot (all generations) to create a stereo system, but if listening to music is important to you, you may want to opt for one of the best smart speakers that prioritize audio quality. The only differences in output would be down to the size of the devices overall, so the 4th Gen model may be able to give a bit more oomph. The audio capabilities of the Echo Dot (3rd Gen) and Echo Dot (4th Gen) are close to identical, with a 1.6-inch speaker present in both.

On Amazon, you can actually choose to buy the Dot with a wall mount (opens in new tab) or Mandalorian The Child stand (opens in new tab).
One plus of the older version is how much easier it is to change the cover or mount it to the wall. The 3rd Gen Echo Dot also has the same plastic and fabric combination as later models. The physical controls are also clear and obvious on top of the speaker, with a ring of blue light to indicate when Alexa has been activated. This difference in size and shape isn't necessarily a negative, as many would prefer their smart devices to be as small and unnoticeable as possible. The speaker is a flatter, puck-shaped device that looks more like the Google Nest Mini.
