What to Expect

If you’re wondering whether the event will be worth your time, here’s a brief rundown of what we expect to see at Amazon’s devices event this week. The main focus is likely to be on Alexa, with the company having teased its next-generation assistant for some time now, promising a more conversational interface and the ability to handle complex requests.

Rumors about the event are scarce, so it’s difficult to predict with certainty what Amazon has in store. However, it’s possible that the company will unveil updated Echo speakers to complement the enhanced Alexa, or perhaps a refreshed version of the Echo Buds, which serve as a conduit for the assistant. At this point, it seems unlikely that new Kindles will be announced, given that Amazon released new models late last year.
