Amazon launches plug-in smart speaker Echo Flex in India priced at Rs 2,999

Amazon has launched its new plug-in smart speaker, Echo Flex in India on Wednesday morning. The speaker saves space by plugging directly into a standard electrical outlet. This means that you don't need wires to run this Echo device which is standard for other Amazon smart speakers. Priced at Rs 2,999 in India, the Amazon Echo Flex has a built-in USB-A port so you can easily charge your phone (7.5W) or other devices, all while using only one outlet.

The Echo Flex plugs into any standard electrical outlet and you can control all the compatible smart home devices using Alexa. It allows you to switch on the lights as you enter your home or turn off the AC as you leave the room. Echo Flex works with devices such as smart lights and plugs from brands including Philips, SYSKA LED, Oakter, TP-Link and more.
