The Amazon Echo Pop seems a little out of place in the Echo portfolio - at least if you buy it at the regular price. Compared to the Echo Dot 5, the newcomer is inferior in terms of sound and also lacks extras such as the temperature sensor or the optional display. Nor does it offer any real special features, such as battery operation or a jack connection.

The Amazon Echo Pop does its job well: With it, the voice assistant can show off all its capabilities. The sound quality is okay for such a small speaker, especially when it comes to voice playback. The same applies to the Echo Show, which reacts more sensitively to voice inputs than its predecessor. It also scores points with its small but informative screen.
