New Amazon Echo Release Expected Later This Year

It has been a while since Amazon came out with new Echo hardware and according to a recent report, that might change in the coming months. Amazon has reportedly started beta testing the new Echo that will be powered by its artificial intelligence-based smart assistant Alexa. The company is expected to add some major functionality to Echo which will set it apart from the competition. Previous reports have suggested that the new Amazon Echo is going to have support for voice calls. It will enable users to make voice calls to their friends and family by simply issuing voice commands to the assistant.
