Aug. 14, 2018Though Amazon’sFreedom Day salehas just recently come and gone, the e-commerce giant has again discounted the prices of its Alexa-powered Echo smart speakers in India.
Amazon India has slashed the price of its Echo speakers as part of the Independence Day celebrations, just days after the smart speakers were discounted in the massive sale. It’s clear that Amazon is looking to tackle the growing sales of arch-nemesisGoogle Home.
The company has discounted the price of all of its Echo smart speakers, except for Echo Plus (the tallest one of the bunch and priced atRs 14,999). You will alsoreceive a free Philips Hue smart Bulb(Rs 1,925) that can be controlled via Alexa.
As you can see in the image below, the smallerEcho Dot has received a flat Rs 1,300 price cutand is now retailing atRs 3,199as compared to its Rs 4,499 retail value. This seems like a pretty good deal for Alexa’s plethora of skills.
The Amazon Echo is now available forRs 7,999after receiving a huge Rs 2,000 price cut over its Rs 9,999 retail price. TheEcho Spot, the smart speaker with a display, has been discounted by Rs 2,600for a price tag ofRs 10,399. This deal is, however, only limited to Amazon Prime users.
While there is nothing mentioned onAmazon India’s website, we expect it to be a limited period offer instead of a permanent price cut. So, if you’ve been meaning to get a smart speaker for your home, and that too Alexa, then this might be the perfect opportunity to grab one of these smart speakers.
