• Echo (4th Gen) Interacting with Alexa always felt like talking to a crystal ball, and now the Echo has had a makeover to match. The new spherical smart speaker has an AZ1 Neural Edge processor for speedier responses. £90
• Echo Dot (4th Gen) Like the full-size Echo (not to mention the Apple HomePod Mini on p9), the little Dot has also rolled up into a ball. With its 1.6in speaker and optional LED clock (£10 more), it’s still a cheap way to get Alexa. £50
