If your Echo speaker feels like it's on its last legs or you simply want something that sounds a little better, now is a good time to go online shopping. Amazon has just announced a surprise price cut on its very latest smart speaker. That's an all-new device which only launched back in October. Right now, the recently released Echo Dot Max can be purchased for just £79.99 - that's 20 percent off the original asking price.

For that money, you get a smart device that features a new look, a faster AZ3 processor inside and audio that features three times more bass than before.

Along with room-filling sound, the Dot Max is powered by Alexa and ready for the upcoming release of Alexa+.

This service, which launched this year in the US, makes Amazon's assistant even smarter. In fact, once it launches in the UK you'll be able to chat to your speaker like a real person and get more detailed information.

Other extras include this Dot Max automatically adapting to your space and fine-tuning playback. It also gets smart home hub and Omnisense technology for enhanced ambient experience.

For those not in the know, Omnisense technology lets you control your smart home with routines triggered by built-in presence or temperature sensors. Lights turn on when you walk into a room, or fans turn off if the room is outside your comfort zone.
