How we checked

The official Amazon product page (title "Amazon Echo Spot (2024 release)", Generation "Echo Spot - 2024 release", Release Year 2024) confirms this is the exact 2024 model and lists verbatim in Technical Details: 2.83" touch screen (240x320px) with half-circle tinted cover glass, "No camera.", dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2.4/5 GHz), Bluetooth (A2DP), and Amazon Sidewalk. TechRadar's dated review (first reviewed July 2024, released 15 July 2024) and PCWorld both corroborate the $79.99 US list price and the Matter-over-Wi-Fi controller (no Thread radio) hub capability, clearly distinguishing it from the 2017 original ($129.99, round 2.5" 480x480 screen, with camera). audio watts left blank because no wattage is stated on any fetched page (only a 1.73" driver and a 15W power adapter).
