Amazon has upgraded its most popular smart speaker, the Amazon Echo Dot, to include an LED display that tells you the time.

The Amazon Echo Dot with Clock can also display things “like the temperature or alarm times”, according to the company, which announced the new model at its 2019 hardware showcase in Seattle.
