Our take on the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen 2022 Release Smart Speaker

The Echo Dot (5th Gen) is Amazon's small spherical smart speaker with Alexa, released in 2022. It sounds fuller than the 4th Gen, adding a temperature sensor and built-in Eero Wi-Fi extender, and it can act as a motion-and-tap alarm clock. It suits bedrooms, kitchens and desks where a full-size Echo is overkill. Against the Echo Pop it costs more but adds the temperature sensor and better bass; against the Echo (4th Gen) it gives up the 3.5 mm audio output and the zigbee hub.

Questions and answers

Is the 5th Gen Echo Dot worth it over the 4th Gen?
Yes if you want better sound, a temperature sensor and Eero Wi-Fi extending. The 4th Gen still wins if you need the 3.5 mm audio jack or a Zigbee hub.
Does the Echo Dot 5th Gen have a battery?
No. It needs a power outlet, so it is not portable like the Echo Input or a Bluetooth speaker.
Can I use it as a Bluetooth speaker?
Yes. You can stream from a phone over Bluetooth, and it also plays music over Wi-Fi through Alexa.
Does it work with Spotify and Apple Music?
Yes, through the Alexa app. Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music and others can be set as the default service.
What is in the box?
The speaker, a power adapter and a quick-start guide. No audio cable is included.
Can it control smart-home devices?
Yes, over Wi-Fi for Alexa-compatible bulbs, plugs and thermostats. It has no built-in Zigbee hub, so Zigbee devices need their own bridge.
