Amazon has updated its Echo devices this week with a new feature that brings intercom functionality between multiple devices in the same home. In a move that feels oddly futuristic and out-dated at the same time, users will be able to hold discussions in separate parts of the house via the popular smart speaker.
Today’s news comes just ahead of murmurings that Prime Day is set to be announced shortly, slated for the second week of July. An event that we expect Alexa to play a large role in as Amazon frequently offers exclusive discounts through its devices. Head below for more details on today’s update as well as a special deal that nets you $100 off two speakers.
